Mrs. Ava was my co-worker, my friend, and like a second mom to me. I admired her in every aspect of her life. I loved her so much and God blessed me with her friendship more than any words could ever express. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

Although I only worked with Mrs. Ava a brief time, it was a pleasure to have known her. She was very funny & I'll always cherish our little chats. May she rest in eternal peace and may you find comfort in your time of sorrow. God Bless!

I only knew Ava for a short time but really enjoyed the time I spent with her. She was such a caring woman. It always stuck with me how no what she was going through or how bad she felt she always asked about my family or about what I cooked over the weekend:-) I know how much Suzie and Steve and the kids made her happy because she would light up when she talked about them. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Thank you for allowing me to care for Ava she truely made a sopt on my heart.
