Ava was truly the center of our flower at work. I worked with Ava in Coopersburg Giant and she always seemed to be the center tie to all of us (hence our flower!). No one could walk by her without her reaching out to everyone. She was one of the kindest and funny people I ever met. She is so truly missed by us all. She made such a difference to so many people. I am grateful for our friendship. I also am grateful for all the memories she gave so many of us. God bless her family, and friends.

Ava was my angel on a few occasions when I had things happen at work. She stop to make sure I was OK and stayed with me so I wouldn't be alone. She was a good soul.

Ava is one of the sweetest and funniest people I've met. It's been such an honor and blessing to be able to call her my friend and I know she was loved by so many. She will be missed so much.

Jon, Kathy, and Jake,
My heart breaks for all of you. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
I met Ava during the little league baseball years. That young girl always knew what was going on with baseball. I will never forget Ava helping me with the dreaded snack stand. I was so thankful!!
Years later, I often ran into her at Giant. She always had a smile on her face and would give me a big hug. Ava will be missed very much, and I will forever cherish the time I spent with her.

What a sweet beautiful girl taken away from us entirely to soon. I will miss her and her visits greatly. She always was able to put a smile on my face especially when telling me one of her stories. May she rest in eternal peace.
