Ava and Alyse grew up on west side of Columbus, Ohio, where they attended Prairie Norton Elementary School and later attended The Ohio Virtual Academy. Ava and Alyse were each other’s best friends. Always playing together. They both loved singing Karaoke and dancing. Their favorite games were Royal High, Adopt Me, Fashion Famous, and Piggy. Ava (age 9) was a ball of energy and never stopped moving. Ava aspired to be an artist. She loved to drawing pictures. She drew animal styled character with big sparkly eyes. Ava having a creative mind like her mother recently showed an interest in sewing and knitting. She wanted to do big things in her life. Alyse (age 6) frequently read goosebumps books because she wanted to be just like her big sister. Alyse loved makeup and wearing dresses just to make them spin. Alyse, a little actress at heart, loved to pretend would never break character.

When you think of Ava and Alyse, celebrate the good memories you have of them. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest.
