To Avon's Family:I've only known Avon for about one year. She and I had our nails done together and would spend all of that time laughing. She spoke lovingly of her family, her telephone calls to her parents and especially her grandchildren. Avon was a wonderful person and I truly loved her. She is greatly missed. My sincerest condolence Mary Shea
