Hello I am 1 of the many members of Ava's page. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for the death of Princess Ava, she was a very brave warrior who fought to the end although I'm not glad she received her wings but I'm very happy that the good lord had decided she she fought long enough and gave her her wings so that she could fly above and make her a very happy Princess by taking the hurt/pain away. I had planned on coming to pay my respects but it totally slipped my mind and I'm sorry. I hope you and your family will be able to move on, baby girl will always be watching over you and making sure you are safe, we will all miss Ava and she will always be in my heart and mind.Sending precious prayers to all ! God Bless you !

God said, “I know you''re hurting
And filled with grief and strife
The loss of such a loved one
Cuts deep, just like a knife.”
I said, “It’s unrelenting
The sadness and the woe
This pain so cruel and ruthless
How could you ever know?”
God said, “I’m full of mercy
My arms are open wide
Come here to me for comfort
Get rid of earthly pride.”
I said, “I cannot do that
You took my child away
My world once bright and cheerful
Has turned to skies of gray.”
God said, “I really love you
Your loss, I truly share
I’m here to ease your burden
This weight, I’m going to bear.”
I said, “Dear Lord have mercy
On bended knee, I pray
I cannot stand this torture
I fall apart each day.”
God said “You''ll find the answers
You mustn’t be so weak
The truth is found in scripture
It’s there that you must seek."
I said, “How could you know, God?
Your heart is made of steel
You’ll never really understand
The heartache that I feel.”
God said, “I know you’re hurting
I see you’ve suffered loss
You lost your child to cancer
Mine died upon the cross."

Dear Nichols family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We first learned of your family’s fight with cancer through Ohio University’s Faculty Pageant fundraiser. We were so inspired and humbled by your family’s toughness, grit, and grace in your fight against cancer. Your family made a real impression on my whole family and we’d like to say God bless all of you. Please take care and know that you have our deepest sympathies. We will not forget Ava.

I know there is nothing anybody could say or do to take your pain away, but one day I hope your pain is at ease. She was such a beautiful little girl and fought very hard!

May all of you close to little Ava be blessed and comforted in this hard time. Ava is now safe in the arms of the Lord. With the bright personality that Ava had, she is probably looking down and filled with so much excitement to let you all know how wonderful it is in heaven and waiting for that very moment when she gets to see you all again. Until that moment, may you find peace in your hearts. God Bless!!!

We have been praying for little Ava for many months, since we found out she needed prayers. She was on our church prayer chain in Bridgeville, pa, everyone praying for God's healing touch on her little body & mind. God did not answer the way I wanted him to, but... there is no more feeding tube, no more pain, no more tumor..I will continue to pray for her family, that god will wrap his arms around them tightly at this sorrowful time, giving them the strength they need right now to get up in the morning, to remember to breath, remember all of the beautiful memories they shared....

My words are not adequate to express the heartbreak I feel for your loss. Your sweet girl was an inspiration to everyone around her. I am so blessed and honored to have known her beauty, and I, along with many others, will keep her story and spirit alive with the many sacred memories we have to hold close to our hearts.
In the words of Hugh Robert Orr:
"They are not gone who live in lives they leave behind. In those whom they have blessed, they live a life again, and shall live through the years eternal life, and shall grow each day more beautiful, as time declares their good, forgets the rest, and proves their immortality."
Ava’s impact on hearts and lives was so vast…her story, her life, her heart, her determination, her strength, her hope, her love will carry on in each of us. Your family will constantly be in my prayers. Peace and comfort to you all.
Much love,
Jen McLaughlin

We cannot begin to fathom the pain you are going through. But, try to remember that God does not give you more than you can handle and he has a reason for everything he does, although we may not understand it now we one day will. God, blessed you with a beautiful baby girl and she made an impact in so many lives. She is now pain free running, dancing, and singing in heaven watching over her mommy and daddy. One day you will all be reunited again, but until then cherish the memories you had with your baby girl and live your lives to the fullest just as she would want you to. God bless you both and you will continue to be in our prayers.
Love,

IT MAY BE ONE OR TWO YEARS OR FORTY TWO OR THREE BUT WILL YOU TILL I CALL HER BACK, TAKE CARE OF HER FOR ME... SHE WILL BRING HER CHARMS TO GLADDEN YOU AND SHOULD HER STAY BE BRIEF, YOU WILL HAVE HER LOVELY MEMORIES AS A SOLACE FOR YOUR GRIEF. I CAN NOT PROMISE THAT SHE WILL STAY, SINCE ALL FROM EARTH RETURN, BUT THE LESSONS TAUGHT BELOW, I WANT THIS CHILD TO LEARN. I''VE LOOKED THE WHOLE WORLD OVER IN SEARCH FOR TEACHERS TRUE AND FROM THE THINGS THAT CROWD LIFES LANE, I''VE CHOSEN YOU. WILL YOU GIVE HER ALL YOUR LOVE? NOR THINK THE LABOR VAIN? NOR HATE ME WHEN I COME TO TAKE THIS LENT CHILD BACK AGAIN? I FANCIED THAT I HEARD THEM SAY.. DEAR LORD, THY WILL BE DONE. FOR JOYS THY CHILD WILL BRING. THE RISK OF GRIEF WE WILL RUN. WE WILL SHELTER WITH TENDERNESS AND WE WILL LOVE WHILE SHE PLAY AND FOR THE HAPPINESS WE HAVE KNOWN FOREVER GRATEFUL STAY. BUT SHOULD THY ANGELS CALL FOR HER MUCH SOON THAN WE HAVE PLANNED, WE WILL GRAVE THE GRIEF THAT COMES AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND...
David and Tracie... This poem was given to me by my grandmother at the birth of my oldest daughter and has been on my fridge for 34 yrs. I look at it every day and thank God for the birth of 2 beautiful daughters and the fact that I still have them both with me. It does remind me daily how precious life is and the fact that we are all only one this earth for a short amount of time. I know that Ava brought your family love, joy and happiness during her short time here on earth. She is now with her heavenly Father were there are no more tears and no more pain... she will be watching over your family and will be waiting to be with you all once again. Please accept my condolences at this time and know that your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I WILL LEND YOU FOR A LITTLE WHILE A CHILD OF MINE GOD SAID.. FOR YOU TO LOVE THE WHILE SHE LIVES AND TO MOURN FOR WHEN SHE''S DEAD. IT MAY BE ONE OR TWO YEARS OR FORTY TWO OR THREE BUT WILL YOU TILL I CALL HER BACK, TAKE CARE OF HER FOR ME... SHE WILL BRING HER CHARMS TO GLADDEN YOU AND SHOULD HER STAY BE BRIEF, YOU WILL HAVE HER LOVELY MEMORIES AS A SOLACE FOR YOUR GRIEF. I CAN NOT PROMISE THAT SHE WILL STAY, SINCE ALL FROM EARTH RETURN, BUT THE LESSONS TAUGHT BELOW, I WANT THIS CHILD TO LEARN. I''VE LOOKED THE WHOLE WORLD OVER IN SEARCH FOR TEACHERS TRUE AND FROM THE THINGS THAT CROWD LIFES LANE, I''VE CHOSEN YOU. WILL YOU GIVE HER ALL YOUR LOVE? NOR THINK THE LABOR VAIN? NOR HATE ME WHEN I COME TO TAKE THIS LENT CHILD BACK AGAIN? I FANCIED THAT I HEARD THEM SAY.. DEAR LORD, THY WILL BE DONE. FOR JOYS THY CHILD WILL BRING. THE RISK OF GRIEF WE WILL RUN. WE WILL SHELTER WITH TENDERNESS AND WE WILL LOVE WHILE SHE PLAY AND FOR THE HAPPINESS WE HAVE KNOWN FOREVER GRATEFUL STAY. BUT SHOULD THY ANGELS CALL FOR HER MUCH SOON THAN WE HAVE PLANNED, WE WILL GRAVE THE GRIEF THAT COMES AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND...
David and Tracie... This poem was given to me by my grandmother at the birth of my oldest daughter and has been on my fridge for 34 yrs. I look at it every day and thank God for the birth of 2 beautiful daughters and the fact that I still have them both with me. It does remind me daily how precious life is and the fact that we are all only one this earth for a short amount of time. I know that Ava brought your family love, joy and happiness during her short time here on earth. She is now with her heavenly Father were there are no more tears and no more pain... she will be watching over your family and will be waiting to be with you all once again. Please accept my condolences at this time and know that your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

We will treasure our special memories that we had with Ava at Lucy's and Tuesday School. She was a precious, beautiful gift to all of us who exhibited such strength and love for life. She will be sadly missed, but her sweet giggle and pure beauty will remain in hearts forever. We will continue to keep David and Traci along with other family members in our thoughts and prayers.
