To Dru, Elise, family members and many friends of Ava,
My heart is grieving with you all. I am profoundly stunned by the news of Ava’s passing. Our beautiful Ava was a remarkable young woman, whom we all loved deeply.
No words can express how much she meant to all of us and everyone that she encountered,
My family and I were blessed to know her since she was a little girl. She was like a daughter to me and a kind older sister to my twin boys-Arieh and Daniel. They spent endless hours playing together. I remember so fondly the sleigh riding, the hot chocolate , the birthday parties and the laughter.
The relationship only grew stronger as Ava grew up. Every summer, for many years, Ava took part in Grumbling Gryphons Theater Camp held at Cornwall Town Hall. She loved being in the plays with the other children, easily making friends and playing dramatic roles such as sea goddesses or animals. Bright as a star, she sparkled and shone!
Her parents, Dru and Elise always supported her in this and everything she did. She flourished both academically and socially at Hotchkiss School and became an extraordinarily capable and lovely young woman, enjoying life and all it has to give. Ava loved math, horses, music, friends and life! She spread light and joy wherever she was.
We love you Ava! You are in our hearts forever! We are all more blessed for knowing you!
Special condolences and blessings to Dru and Elise, the most dedicated and loving parents one could wish for.
We are sending love, light and cherished memories to you all.
Rest in Peace Ava. We love you and will never forget.
Leslie, Larry, Arieh and Danny
