Ava was my best friend before I moved, and I am filled woth sorrow as of being educated that she has passed. I miss her beyond what words can describe, and I wish I could have been there for her more than I was. Rest well, my dear friend.

My family thoughts and prayers are with the family. Ava was my daughter schoolmate and this has been a really sad time for our community and school. She was such a beautiful young girl. Very sweet and kind. Rest in God's Loving Arms Sweet Girl.
