Last weekend I was organizing some CD's and opened one that Ava had sent me. She interviewed me when I was on the Board for Planned Parenthood. Her message "thanks for being on the show. You were great! See you soon, Love Ava." So my wonderful Franklin Junior High student comes back to interview her teacher. LU-H

Ava was a colleague who was an exceptionally hollistic nurse. We worked together many times over the years. She knew the greatest gift was to love and care for others and did that so well. I was blessed for the time we walked together on this journey. My prayers and thoughts are with her family, who she often spoke so highly of. May God bless you with peace during this very sad time.

Ava, May you rest in peace. Free from pain, suffering as we know in this present world! May you continue to unfold in the Glory of God and walk in your hearts purpose. I know the afterlife exists and that you will continue what you love and have passion for.
God Bless you!

Dear Aunt Eleanor, Uncle Sam, Damian and Molly,
We were deeply saddened by the tragic death of Ava. We knew she was battling cancer, but we didn't know how sick she was. Losing a child must be devastating, we could hardly imagine how you must be feeling. No parent should have to bury their child. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God help you through this.
With all our love,
Peter and Agnes
