A year ago, on February 20th, the world became a better place. The deep pain caused by Nina's death just 2 weeks earlier was eased. The normal cycle of life was going on. The bright eyes of Ava Paige Backert were open.

Hi stinkerbell,
I can't believe you have been an Angel for a month now. I miss you so much. I think about you all the time. I wish I could hold you & see those gorgeous eyes & that huge smile again. Just a year ago everyone was finding out that you were on your way & now.....
Ava, we are all going crazy without you, please help us thru this. We're numb, can't breathe and the sadness is so thick that no one is the same anymore. We all love & need you so much. People still tell...

Melissa and Mike,
Ava was a gift from God for you and all who love you. He took her back and our hearts broke in pain. But we know deep in our hearts that she is okay and is looking out for you guys. I was very lucky to have held her the times I did, I thank God for giving me the chance to have known her and loved her. We will miss her and love her for ever.
The pain will get easier.
Ava you are missed by your whole family.
