I knew ava from youth group and we also went to troy high together. We never really hangout except for at youth building we talked. She was just really nice and sweet. She was a good person. I really wish we had been closer. She was way to young and my heart goes out to her family and friends. I know that no matter how much time passes that their grief and pain will never go away... but your were an amazing person so I know that you are in a better place and that you live on in all of us. And even through we weren't really all that close I still find myself thinking about you at random times of my day.. You will never be forgotten beautiful.

Not a day goes by where you don't cross my mind, I miss you terribly. I miss seeing your bright smile, I miss hearing you laugh. I've never known anyone to have such organic happiness, and to radiate that happiness like sunshine. You made me a better person; you taught me how to appreciate, you taught me to not sweat the small stuff, and I'm eternally grateful. You created a turning point for my outlook on life that will stay with me forever. Now I have the memory of you, and all your wisdom, with me forever. You'll always be on my mind and in my heart. Sleep well, my friend.

It's almost been a year Ava, and it still hurts to think about you not being here. So many things remind me of you and I can't explain how much you're missed by all of us everyday. You had such an impact on every single person who knew you, and even those who didn't. You were an amazing friend and I'm just so blessed to have been able to spend time with you. Always on my mind, always in my heart, Love and Miss you Ava.

I miss you and it kills me everyday that I forget more and more what your voice sounds like or the last time you playfully and lovingly teased me or the last time you hugged me. I just want Dave and Kate to know that Ava is one of the most important people to have ever been in my life and she's truly unique. No one else I've ever known loves and accepts people as she does. I'm aware that no words will take the pain away but you should know that I'm a better person for knowing her. She inspires me and I hope to one day grow up and be like her. I love you all

I am sorry for the loss of your precious daughter. My son went to high school with Ava and often talked about her. He told me about her being sick and how she was a great person. She had an impact on him, because usually he is a man of very few words. He said even though she was sick she made the best of it. When he told me she passed away, I cried because I felt like I knew her through him talking about her. Your daughter had a big impact on a lot of lives, she was so very special. Please take comfort in knowing she will always will be with you in spirit.

Ava was a joy when she played at Spring Little League. I will always remember her smile.
I am very Sorry.

My heart is so very heavy for you...Cate & Dave, and your entire family for the loss of your beautiful daughter. She has been in my prayers since my sister, Michelle first phoned me to tell me of her illness close to a year ago. Words cannot express the sadness I feel for all of you, so I'll use the words in Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is near to those who are broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
With heartfelt sympathy,

The one time I met Ava, at the Flashes of Hope photo session, she was so full of life. She was our first Flashes of Hope kid to take control and direct the photographer. She knew exactly what she wanted. She made my day. I am honored to have spent a little time with her. My condolences to you all.

I am beyond heart broken for your family. I know I have not seen Ava in quite some years, but I have such fond memories of her as a little girl. She was so bright and curious and full of life. Such a sweet and loving child! You have lost a light that cannot be replaced. I pray you find peace and comfort in each other in such a difficult time. I'm so sorry...
