With a heavy heart for those of us who will hear the loudness of her silence and feel the presence of her absence, I am at a loss for words to offer a glimpse of my heart to you all. She will be memorialized in the beauty of the world as she was so great a part of it with her many talents and plants.  The tears of the remembrances today are almost too painful for me and yet without the joy she gave me, I could not have these memories.  She is still my best friend ever! I will carry her in my heart forever.  When I fell apart, Ava put me and my world together. She left this life and joined Jesus, her beloved son, her precious parents, the adorable great nephew she talked about and another of her very best friends; Willie Kunkel. Her quick wit, her sharp mind and exquisite IQ, her creativity and all that she shared will most assuredly live on with and through Raymond, Deanna, and Danny and those precious grandchildren.
SHES HOME FREE, now ~~~~and she "beat me"(a personal joke)
My love for all of you guys.

To all the Riley family know that my heart is breaking for you all.  Love you all.  Ava was probably the very best friend I could have besides being my sister.   I know that she is rejoicing with Mom, Dad, Ronnie, little Ronny, Michael, and our baby Henry.

Love you so much Uncle Raymond DeAnna and Danny. And all the grandkids and great grand kids.  I will miss you Aunt Ava loved you so very much.

We were saddened to learn of Ava's passing.  We sincerely appreciate H.J.'s notification this morning and send our sympathy and prayers to the family...especially Mary Jo and Phylllis.
