My condolences to the Fleming family. I will fondly remember Ava as a good and helpful colleague. I pray for the day that we no longer lose loved ones before their time. Ava will be missed.

Ava was absolutely one of the sweetest people I have EVER met. She was a consummate professional. Out of all the offices with which I coordinated, hers was one that never, ever needed in-depth review! She was ALWAYS accurate and succinct with her information. I didn't know her on a personal level, but we did share family experiences, etc. She is definitely a star that will be missed...greatly. Rest in Heaven Ava...Sonja Rodgers
