Remembering Ava Jane with a grateful heart, today. It was a privilege to be friends with Diana, Kaki and Ava Jane during my teen years. So many wonderful memories of dinners, studying...sort of, all under the watchful and calm supervision of Ava Jane.She lived her life with true intention and that is indeed a rare and wonderful way to live. I still tell my children to, Leave it better than you found it. I still make chalupas and top it with salad dressing. Ava Jane was a true friend and mentor. I ran into Ava Jane at the grocery store on a recent visit to Midland. We shared a quick chat and a hug. I am very grateful for that moment!Thinking of your family with wishes for peace along the journey and the comfort of family, friends and comforted by wonderful memories

Ava Jane was one of the first people to welcome me when I moved to Midland last year. She was one of the most giving people I know. She served as a volunteer for HospiceMidland for many years, with vitality and passion. Many benefited from her dedication, love and hard work. We will miss her greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time of sudden loss.

Dear Diana and Kaki,I am thinking of you this morning with a grateful heart. I am grateful to have been a friend of yours growing up and the privilige of knowing your Mom. She was a loving creative Mom. A friend and mentor to me. I treasure all the happy times spent at your home from making jewelry to eating chalupas! I still say to my kids,Leave it better than you found it.I am grateful that I ran into your Mom at the grocery and enjoyed a brief chat and a hug, earlier this year. My mom enjoyed your Mom's friendship and saw her frequently at Study Club.Ava Jane lived her life with intention. That is a rare and wonderful thing, these days. Having visited with Diana in Alaska, I learned that you both live your lives with the same intention and meaningful resolve. My thoughts and prayers are with you for peace along the journey. Wishing you comfort of family, friends and wonderful memories of your Mom.I am grateful for the fullness of Ava Jane's love, compassion and mentorship!Love,Carolyn

I met Ava Jane Fuller several years ago when she was visiting my dear friend and her daughter Diana Withen. Her warmth and compassion were obvious from the words she spoke, and I understood why Diana is a woman who works hard to make the world a better place. She had a wonderful role model. My heart filled with sadness when I heard of the sudden death of Diana's mother. I am deeply sorry for their loss.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Ava Jane was my biggest supporter as I started a Daisy Girl Scout troop for my granddaughters this fall! She brought me a cookie tin and told me to send it home with the girl each week whose turn it is to bring refreshments the next week! She even predicted I'd get a lot more girls in my troop as time went on!
