Ava M. Hudson

So saddened to learn of the Hudson family´s loss in Ava´s passing. May the grieving find comfort and peace.

I still remember the days sitting in our church's junior high small group with Mike, our leader, and his sons David & Tim. I remember going on rides with David at a summer excursion to Six Flags, eating meals together at church, winter youth group retreats (especially playing on his dad's broomball team...), and sharing a room at the 2013 Life conference. I remember running into him occasionally during our years at Wheaton & chatting about life updates and about our musical endeavors. I wish I could've known him more before his passing, though am grateful for the time I got with him and send my greatest condolences to the Hudson family for their loss!

Mike and Wendy,
I am sad to have missed David/Ava´s memorial, but so glad to have connected a little with Mike. I did not really have much of a relationship with David when we were there. I think he must have been just younger than Jr. High maybe when I stopped doing that. I know he was your son, and I know what that means. I will be praying for you over the days, weeks, months ahead. Allow yourselves time to grieve. I know God grieves for David.

To all the Hudsons, we're so sad about David's death and your deep loss. We're praying for you and looking forward to seeing you soon.

For the years I knew David at youth group and high school, he was a kind and considerate friend who I always looked forward to seeing. I will remember the impact he made on me and many others with his life. Prayers for the Hudson family in this sad time.

Dearest Hudson family, please know that we are praying for each of you in the season of grief, pain, and loss. We are so very sorry for the passing of your dear, cherished and beloved David/Ava. May the tender, kind, and strong care of family and friends sustain you in this season. The Huff family (Jamie, Rebecca, Reyna, and Emily)

I remember when Ava and I worked the same CTA route. She would always say, "Oh, there you are. I was wondering if you were out here." It made me feel good I gave some level of comfort.

By the way, I called her Bee. I enjoyed our talks on New York...The Beyoncé tour during lunch breaks:))

A few days before Ava´s passing, I was looking for her. So, we could exchange digits, Social Media info. So, we could hang on days off. That´s how cool I thought she was. One of the nicest person I´ve ever met. It´s been a sad week for me.

My deepest sympathies to Ava´s Family and Friends.

RIP Ava

Dear Mike, Wendy, Tim, Emily and Anna,

I am devastated to hear of your recent loss. David was a student in my first grade classroom. He was such a delightful child and a joy to teach. He was kind, caring, friendly, polite, quiet, respectful and bright. I am fortunate to have been a small part of his elementary school experience.

I wish Ava had more time to make a mark in her adult life. I believe she would have been an incredible individual.

God bless the Hudson family!

I send my condolences to the family. - CTA Supervisor Guzmán

Wendy and Mike, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I will always remember that sweet, quiet, creative and very bright child in kindergarten. Ava brought so much joy to our classroom. I feel honored to have been a tiny part of her education, and I wish all of the Hudson´s my love and sincere condolences.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
