I never could tell them apart either. One of them told me to look at the earrings -- but I don't remember if it was Ava or Eva.
The "Eva and Ava" team have contributed such a tremendous amount to the community, touching so many people.
It is sad, but at the same time appropriate, that she should go during the season of comfort and joy.
My sincere condolences to all her family members.

My deepest condolences to family and friends of Ava. My family was so grateful that she and Eva would visit our Dad while he was in the hospital and nursing home. He would always cheer up when they visited!! May God comfort you in knowing that Ava is in no pain and is now in the presence of God. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
