When you have a friend like Ava, life is good, really good. Thank you for the good times we shared and the talks we had-thinking how wonderful it was that we were friends. With heartfelt love, we will always have St. Louis.

Ava and I were the best of friends during our years teaching at Lindbergh
High School, late 1960s into the 1970s. Ava and I stayed in touch for many
years until we gradually drifted away over time. I can honestly say she was the best friend that I ever had. We talked many hours about our lives and shared so many things together. I have a deep love for her and what she meant to me. My son and daughter, Troy and Colleen, spent a few
occasions with Scott and Jenny as going together to Six Flags near
St.Louis. Ava taught me astrology and we had fun pouring over astrology
charts. I have carried Ava in my heart from the first time I met her. She certainly we be missed by all that were close to her. Love You Ava

My sweet friend Ava, you will live forever in my heart. You were wonderful to my children and to me. I loved your kindness and gentle spirit. You went out of your way to make others feel loved. We spoke of the Lord and heaven. I know that is where you are right now. Singing with the angels.
