I'll miss you Lil. You were good to my family. You would always bring treats and food to the ER. I remember when you ordered large containers of soup n salad from Olive Garden. May you RIP. In the arms of the Lord. I'll never forget you.

Dr Avner was a wonderful teacher and compassionate physician. She led Emergency Medical Services throughout Martin County as well as the entire state during its infancy and maturing to the outstanding public services expected by all today. Thank you Dr Avner for your service, your guidance, and your compassionate teaching. We will take it from here.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Dr Avner's passing. While working for the Martin Co Sheriff's Office, I had many positive experiences with her in the Martin Memorial South ER. She was an outstanding person, and I enjoyed our conversations(always too brief). I shall miss you, Dr Avner!
