Avis walked in sunshine, bringing joy and laughter to all those she met. The world is a much poorer place without her...

As a young girl, I remember that when Avis and Bill came to visit, it was a real treat. Auntie Av was always dressed so impressive, and would bring clothes for Ellen. She raised 4 wonderful children, my cousins from afar. I pray our Heavenly Father wrap his arms around Bill, Avis, John, and Robert and their families. I envision my Dad and Bill on the golf course and Mom and Avis catching up Cork and Freddie. They all are watching over baby sister, Margo. Hugs to Bill, Avis, John, and Robert.

Avis was such a wonderful friend to my parents, Ralph and Joan Staven. When my Mom passed, Avis insisted on taking my dad and I out to dinner to talk to my Dad about how to manage his loss of my Mom... I will never forget her kindness at that time of mourning. Truly always a gracious hostess and friend... She will be missed! I'm sure Bill is happy to have her at his side again!
