Avelia Miran Falkner

36th birthday coming up. Left us at age 22. Last thing I remembered between us was sitting on granny’s loveseat taking a photo together and that day you said my Madonna CD was good. A lot has changed over the years. Had relatives reunite with you and some still here missing you and wondering how our life would be if you were still around. I do miss you and still love you. Remembering blurred visions of how you was making fun of the way I said yellow one day going through old photos to when you were at my ma’s baby shower. Through the years I have felt you around. I have felt others around also. Can’t wait to reunite with you one day. Love and miss you deeply. Your baby cousin.

I love you. ❤ And miss you.

Missing you! My beautiful girl. 10 years later and you are still in my dreams. I see you in my smile, my eyes and facial expressions. You are in my voice. You are there.

I miss you "babushka"
I miss your smile!
Rest in peace little angel.

Dearest Daughter,
Not a day goes by that I don't talk to you in the morning and talk to you at night of course you hear this because I feel you are saying, enough already.. Today, I ask myself why again and again?????? I am almost 50 with a lot of regrets. Biggest, not being a better Mother to you. My life is hollow without you. I feel like it will never be complete again. When I look in the mirror I see your smile and your eyes which gives me some comfort that you are there inside me, just waiting to see each other again. You and I will be forever connected. For someone that prays and trust, I know you are with me. I pray for the day, that you and I look at each other with relieve that this horror story is over, a life with out you in it... forever loved by your mother. "mom" oh, Ava loves you too. she is the best dog ever. she gives me comfort as she knows that I miss you dearly and so does she..

I miss you my love!

Happy birthday Miran! I has been 5 years now. I still have vivid memories like they were yesterday. I love you and miss you! I just wanted you to know I am thinking about you!

Miran was an incredible girl. I went to middle school with her and I remember her friendship to this day. She was the happiest girl ever and her positive light radiated. I was fortunate enough to reunite with her before she passed to take her to her "first real jazz show" my sophomore year of college. We saw Medeski Martin and Wood in a very low key restaurant and I'll never forget how she looked in a long black dress that night. She took a very keen interest to the music, even though it wasn't her style and she ended up dancing and having an unexpected amazing time. Probably won't ever forget that...

Happy Birthday Miran! Love you!

Well baby girl I was just sitting here thinking about just how much you are truely missed and how much I love you. I wish I could see that beautiful smile,hear that silly laugh,and look at those beautiful blue eyes of yours and hold you as close as I possible could. I really do miss everything about you but I have to keep in mind that the good LORD had better plans for you and I will just have to wait a little longer until I can see you again.Well I guess I will go but only for now so until later I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH THEN, NOW, AND ALWAYS. YOUR AUNT BETH

Hope to see you soon.Happy Birthday georgous I miss you and I love you. Your Aunt Beth

I remember the first time I saw Miran at my great aunts house(her grandmother). She was absolutely beautiful. I still remember what she was wearing and the way her brown heels clicked on the kitchen floor, I remember how even though she didn't know me that well she still passed by me and flashed a sincere smile and told me that everything with my aunt would be okay as she was sick and no doing well at all. We were cousins. I never really got to know her that much but just her presence in a room was enough to make you smile. Even today as I walk in my great aunts house I can still see her standing there smiling at me. There are pictures of her everywhere and even if you don't know who she is, you will smile when you look at them. I'm so sorry that I didn't get to know her more before she was taken but I'm so happy that I got to see her beautiful face one last time before it was lifeless. We were no where near as close as family should be but I miss you everyday. I can't wait to meet you in Heaven and hear all about the wonderful life you led. I love you more than words could explain and I pray for your family as often as I can. Say hi to Lloyd for me beautiful. I know you're having fun singing with the angels and getting to see your grandfather again. See you soon.

To My Beautiful Daughter, It has been 2 years and 7 months and it still seems like yesterday since my world was shattered and you taken from me and so many others that loved you. No parent should out live their own child. My heart has broken in so many pieces. There is no possible way that it will ever mend. My life is so incomplete without you. I miss your smile, I miss your beautiful blue eyes, I miss your voice, I miss you needing me. Oh, my dearest daughter, I miss you so very much. My tears flow every day. I am so sad. No word can express the pain I have. I feel you with me. I feel you in my heart but I just want to touch you. I want to wrap by arms around you and never let you go. My little girl! I dont understand why? Why? WHY? WHY YOU?. Take me instead? Let my daughter live. Let her live! Let her smile! Let her find a true love, let her marry, let her feel the love of being a mother. I will never see you marry. I will never see your child. I will never hold a grandchild in my arms. My pain is deep. My pain is so deep. How can one continue to live with this pain. It doesn't get easier. It gets harder. One day without you is like a lifetime.

hi billie it me casey. sorry i couldnt be there but trust me i wanted to be.miran was a sweet woman and i will miss her very much. mom told me about the guest book so i wanted to leave a message. miran meant the world to me and i will always love her very much. i will always think of her as my cousin and ill always think of you as aunt billie. miran rest in peace and i will see you soon. I LOVE YOU SWEETIE.

I just wanted to tell Miran's mother that I was thinking of her because I know how hard this first Christmas will be. Just know that while Miran may be gone physically, her spirit and our love for her will never die. May you find strength and peace this Christmas season.

you have no idea how much I miss you. I have loved you more than you know. I never wanted you to turn out like me, but I know that you have always wanted to follow in my footsteps. Actually I would love to have been as free spirited as you were. I remember all the things we embrassed together, the police, the smiths, doing what our parents disagreed on us doing. You have no idea how much my thoughts go to you everyday... I remember when you were, oh probably 11 years old and you got that big yellow dog, you know the one, and started creeping up on my bed and scared the piss out of me and said "Stephanie I want your boogers" I have never laughed so hard. I will and always will be your sister. I love you and I will see you soon. I just wanted to shed a light to all others on how you were. You were so fun and will always be fun and I feel I will re-live, as I do in my dreams, my fun times with you. Us going out on Lake Norman and the Jet Skis engine dying and us both having to push it back home. Look I could go for days about our experiences, but nothing could change that fateful day. I would have given myself for you Miran. That is what sisters do. If could have been me, I would have understood. But It should have never been u. I can't change things and I don't understand why things happened like they did, but I want you to know if I could have traded spaces with you that day and at that time, I would in a second with no hesitation and and know that you could understand that statement. But not to ramble on. I LOVE YOU. I WILL SEE U SOON. YOUR SISTER STEPHANIE

Miran,
You were a beautiful young woman, inside and out. No words can say how much you are truly missed. May you rest in peace.

Miran, i miss you more than i can stand. i know you are in a better place but i just which i could go back to that tuesday night and just never let go of you. i love you and can still feel the kissy thing you did to me on my neck every time you saw me and i still do our dances, knowing that you are right there next to me doing it too. i know you are right here in our hearts Miran. i love you and i miss you. Please you and Erica take care of each other and watch over us and most importantly your family. i love you Miran. i love you so much.

You will be in our prayers. Keep your faith and you will grow stronger over time. She is such a beautiful young lady. There must be a plan for her in heaven.

I knew Miran years ago, back in high school. She was always very kind to me and for that I am saddened to hear of her passing. To her family and closest friends, I send my condolences.

YOU WILL BE MISSED VERY MUCH, THERE ISNT A DAY THAT I WONT BE THINKING OF YOU. THERE WILL AWAYS BE A SPECIAL PLACE I MY HEART FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I'm so sorry about your lost. My prayers go out to you and your family. May GOD comfort you and wrap His loving arms around you. In the precious name of JESUS...AMEN!

I just heard the news of Avelia's death today and can not express how sorry I am. Katherine, please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. May God wrap his loving arms around you and grant you peace.

Katherine, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in our most heartfelt prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Miran's family. Miran was a great person with the most beautiful soul; and I will carry her on through my memories forever. She will be missed dearly and remembered always.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

miran was the best good bless her soul

My heart goes out to Miran's family...she was a wonderful girl who left behind fond memories with anyone that knew her...

My heart goes out to Miran's family. I can't imagine the pain you are going through right now. Miran touched so many people, everyone knew her and loved being around her even if they only met her once. I am so grateful to have known her. She had the brightest smile, that would light up a room. She truly lived in the moment and embraced the present, which is so admirable. I know she is here to guide her loved ones and inspire us all to live like every moment is our last. I will fondly look back on the fun times I had with her. I will keep her family and loved ones in my prayers. I wish I could have been there for her funeral.

Respectfully,
Courtney Clifford

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

I remember when Miran moved and started middle school at Alexander, thats when I first met her in my science class, we became friends so quickly because of her wonderful and humorous personality and charm :) ! We got along so well together, but we also got in a lot of trouble together, but what teenager doesn't? She was always in such a good mood and she always made me laugh because she was so funny --- last time I saw Miran was probably right before I moved from Huntersville about six years ago, but we talked from time to time online - I just wish we could have gotten together more often but the time we did spend together I will never forget, and I know I'll never forget Miran! She was an awesome friend! I just want to end by saying I pray that God comfort your souls - and may you draw closer to Him because of this - and that other people's lives are impacted because of the life Miran had! You are continually in my prayers!
Love In Christ!

Katherine there is no words to express how greatly Jana and I are grieved for you.
Our prayers are with you, if you or David need anything you have only to ask.

All our Love to you

Billie, we just wanted to express our deepest sympathy. We are praying for your family. It just seems like a few months ago this cute little freckled face girl was introduced to us. We are blessed to have known her and your entire family.

hey baby girl i know u are looking out on all of us!! you will be missed dearly, and i love u

I,m so sorry for your loss, I remember her as a little girl playing with Heather. We will keep
you in our prayers

I am so sorry for your loss. I still remember Miran and Heather playing together. She was a beautiful young lady. May GOD give you peace in knowing that HE holds Miran in his arms. My prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. May GOD be with you always to give you confort.

To my beautiful "little girl". Words can not express how proud I am of you. Words can not express my love for you. You were my life and now my life will always feel empty. My heart has been ripped from my chest and will never heal. You were all I had. May the Lord take you in his arms and hold you close until you and I are together again. On that day I will feel the same way I felt when you arrived in this world. A storm of happiness that will make my heart whole again. To the many friends that loved you, my heart goes out to each of them. I can not express the happiness that you gave my daughter. For this I am grateful! Tell me your stories, times, and life with Miran'

To the family of Miss Falkner, I am so very sorry for your loss. I did not know Avelia (what a beautiful name), but I was there the morning of the accident and stopped to try to help. I asked if she could hear me twice and both times her arm moved. I could see her, but could not reach her and felt horrible that I could do nothing until the medics arrived. I know that she heard me and she knew she was not alone. I have not stopped thinking about her and I was so upset to learn that she had passed. I couldn't stop crying for her. I'm sorry I couldn't do more to help her and I wish I could have attended the funeral yesterday, but I had learned about it too late. You hear about accidents every day, but it makes it much more personal when you are actually there and see the person and feel helpless. I am very sorry that this happened to her and her family and the only thing that helps is to know she is in a much better place. I hope time will help heal your wounds.

Words fail me at a time like this, but my heart goes out to Miran's family. She was such a sweet soul and she always greeted me with a hug and a smile.

Miran, you will be missed. Rest in peace.

My condolences to you all. Even though I dont get to talk to you often, you are my family and still in my prayers.

Im so very sorry for your loss.Im sorry that I never knew Miran but I know that you loved her very much as all parents love their children.Please be assured that you are not alone.I know that God has another angel for His kingdom.I will keep you and your family in my prayers always.

i will miss you for ever, but Im happy that God let me have part of my life! i love you!

Miran,
I did not know you, but my son and his girl friend knew you. It was a horrible day for them both when they discovered out about your death. I saw your picture in the paper, and you are beautiful, such a wonderful smile. I am so sorry you had to leave this earth so soon, but I know you will bless the heavens.

We wish to extend our sincere sympathy to you, in the death of your daughter, Miran.
(Her beautiful smile reminds us of the sunshine we knew in our son, Ken's, smile.) An automobile accident took our son's life on December 28, 2004.
Life, for us, has not been the same, since.
We know the deep sorrow you
feel, and we are praying for you.
In the void and pain, may you
lean upon the strength that only God can give.
The pain never goes away, but somehow, you become distanced
to it, by time.
God bless you in these dark hours.
Sincerely,

You will be missed Miran. Love Always

Miran you wonderful sense of humor and smile will be missed. My prayers go out to your family, may God watch over them.

Miran - you were always so beautiful and special - your mother loved you so much! I am so sorry. I hope god will bless you an your family.

Miran,
Since the day I met you I knew you were a great soul. A lively and loving girl who always wanted to do things for other people. I wish that I could have gotten to know you better. You will be greatly missed and you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Miran, you'll always be loved and remembered...rest in peace

I did not know Miran very well, but my boyfriend and many of our friends are grieving very deeply now. I am so sorry for this loss. My prayers are with you all, and my heart goes out to the Sunset family.

My heart is deeply saddened by the loss of Miran. I did not know her very long, she dated my son, Shane, when they were in high school. Shane still saw Miran often, and I always asked him about her. She was a beautiful, sweet young lady. My prayers and love are with her and her family.

May your memories be a comfort at this time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Miran, you will be so missed. your smile, your laugh, your love of life touched so many people around you. I am so thankful to have known you and to have shared so many good times. Thank you for always making me laugh. You will forever be missed. Love you.

Going to miss you Miran, Rest in Peace

My thoughts and Prayers go out to you, your family and your friends. RIP

I did not know Avelia at all. But the morning that I dropped my son off at the Sunshine House Daycare in Davis Lake Parkway and drove down the street and saw the accident,I asked questions and found that it was a young lady so young and just starting to really live life and to be gone so soon. It broke my heart. I thought of her all day and everyday this week. My heart goes out to her family and friends who actually knew her, because for me not to have known her at all and feel the way that I do, I know it will be difficult. I will pray for peace, I will pray for a peace of mind for her family to know that she is with the Lord and you will be with her again. But know that she will always be with you in the spirit. Have faith and believe that God will put no more on you than you can bear and that the Lord makes no mistakes. To all the family and friends of Avelia, stay strong for eachother and never go a day without letting the person you love know that you love them. I am sure she will be missed.

Sadly, I never had the pleasure to meet you Miran, however, many of my friends knew you . You are such a beautiful girl. Rest in peace. My prayers are with your family and friends.

Love you always babe you will be greatly missed

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I want to extend my condolences and my wife's condolences for your terrible loss. Avelia was a neighbor and we feel so bad about this tragedy. If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to contact us. May God comfort you during this extremely rough time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our little ray of sunshine. Miran, you will be missed. I already miss that big beautiful smile you always had on your face. Rest in Peace now. You will never be forgotten.

We pray for you and your family.

I can't believe you're gone Miran, but you are in a better place now, see you in the next life! RIP.
