I was heartbroken to hear of the passing of Avery today. I taught Avery Agriscience at Eagle's Landing High during his short stay in McDonough, GA. He fondly called me "aunt-t" and kept the class humored at times when appropriate. I was saddened when he chose to leave, but I kept up with him through his Uncle James (Chief Moore). He spoiled him and loved him and gave him the world. It is my prayer that his family and friends find comfort in knowing he in a better place and remember his witty humor and wonderful personality.
