This was a shock to me. Michael and Avis was very influential in my life growing up. I met them after he returned from Germany and the entire family. Mrs. Cornelia, God will uphold you. Avis and the children just know that "earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal". See you on the other side my friend, Love yall!
