As a friend of Avril's, I know how much her Grandma meant to her throughout her life. She always made a point to send her Hallmark cards and momentos to celebrate pretty much every holiday you can think of. She shares stories of the food that her Grandma prepared for her growing up. I know she will be missed very much. My thoughts are with Avril, Margaret, Naomi as well as other family and friends. - Natalie Holland
