I know Avis's whole family through her she loved her family and was very proud of her family. I am going to miss you my little friend and your sweet smile that lights up the room when she walked in.

Avis,

What a wonderful lady. I remember playing with Jenny Lynn and Brill as a little kid. Now since she came back to Fountain Green, I got to know this wonderful lady again.

My sincere best wishes to all of the family.

Avis will be missed by so many people. My kids loved Avis to pieces, she always sent them a birthday card with money in it. She was like a grandma to them. We loved going into the clinic and seeing her. I hope when I get her age I will look and act as well as she did. What a terrific person Avis was. We love you Avis and we will miss you deeply.

Love, Jeff, Julee,

Dear Family,
I have had the honor and pleasure of working with Avis for a little over 9 years at the clinic. What a remarkable, independent lady she was. She was more than a coworker to me though, more like my Grandmother, my friend. She was my first phone call in the morning and last phone call at night and several in between ( but never, ever during a Jazz game). I will truly miss this lady more than she will ever know. I will miss our visits, her spunk, her humor, her wisdom, What an inspiration she has been to me and everyone she came into contact with. Tammy, please keep in touch. Avis, I love and miss you muchly.

Dear Family:
