My most fond memories of Aunt Avys go back to my childhood. The xmas's family gatherings during the 40's. I still have the xmas stockings Aunt Avys made for my brother and I. One year she made me two dolls with very long legs & arms, I wish I still had them. I will miss you. Love to Uncle Bob and cousin Geoff. Ellen & Don DeLashmutt

Aloha, wonderful Avys! I remember you well and fondly. You were one of my best SISM pals. From sharing your glue guns in your garage while we made wreaths, to our frank, fun conversations, you were always a wonderful friend. I'm so glad you are at peace now. Lora Williams, past president, SISM
