Just got the news. So sorry to hear. I was actually thinking about Poohie the first of the week thinking we should come see everybody. I am so sorry I didn’t have that thought sooner. So sorry we won’t be able to attend tomorrow. The Faith in God will get us through this. God Bless

i will always remember the summer we spent with aunt avalee (as we always called her). We were never allowed to call her by her nick name. I always had the upmost respect for her . I could never understand how this lovely lady could’ve ever been a Pooie! She had so much patience with us even when I accidentally let the dogs out – we were just being kids. Well she made that summer special for me, one i wouldn’t forget. I always think of her as my Dear Aunt AvaLee. God Bless

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Ava. The loss of a loved one is always a time of sorrow. May we look to the Bible’s words for encouragement, looking forward to the fulfillment of prophecy when all things like sickness, pain and death are things of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences go to the family in this time of need.
