| HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! Thank you for the flowers that you planted. Papa and I think they look so good. Tell Natalie I said thank you too. I hope you are having a good b-day. I know it isn't too relaxing with my sissies, so I will wrap them with my wings while they are sleeping to keep them comfortable. Who knows, maybe they will sleep longer, and give you a little break. I am so happy to be spending time with you and nana, it's not the same visiting with you both separately. Although, Nana makes me tired watching her go non-stop, and I'm an angel. It's not suppose to be possible for me to get tired. I'm an everlasting butterfly, but everything about me is everlasting in heaven. Including my energy.... Well I hope you enjoy the rest of the day because I know that I will. P.S. It's cute that you think every butterfly is me. The funny thing is that every butterfly you see is a part of me. I toss one of my feathers in the air, and it turns into a butterfly that flies right past you. I just love seeing that look on your face. Your happiness is my happiness. Your beauty is my beauty. As a butterfly is a part of me, I am a feather of you. Well I gotta go, an Angel's work is never done. Love, Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMPY!!! I can't believe how young you are.. All the girl angels up here think your a stud. The like the way you shaked and grooved at you and Grammy's wedding. I am so happy for the both of you. I was right in between you and Grammy at the alter. Although I tried to stay next to Grammy because I was getting soaked from all your tears. Just kidding. I couldn't feel all of them. HAHA. Well I gotta go. An angels work is never done. LOVE, AVA HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JOHNNY!!! I won't say how old you are, but wow.. Between you, Uncle Jarrod, and Dad, where did all the hair go? I think I have the answer for my dad & Uncle Jarrod. Essence took Uncle Jarrod's and about 30 other people's, my dad is mr. fertile, so we know where his went, but what is your excuse? Too many drumstick twirls, obsessive brushing, or do you shampoo with a special anit-germ shampoo? Either way, hair or no hair, we all still love you. By the way, Thanksgiving dinner was great, and the desserts were awesome. Between you and I, Courtney is a keeper. Hope you have a great Birthday,a nd see you at Christmas. Love, Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JARROD!! Hi Uncle Jarrod. It's kind of funny that where share the same day. Two different reasons of course, but not entirely. I came into Heaven on the day you came into this world. So in a sense, it is a first day for both of us. I hope you had a good day, like I did. I have been spending a lot of time in the hospital, but not because I'm sick. I am trying to be a good big sister. I want to say the Best, but McKenzie has the upper hand. BUT!!! I make them smile all the time. Everyone else thinks it's because they are talking to them, but it really is because I am making faces behind them. Isabella & Olivia think it's so funny. Well gotta go, big sister duty calls. Unless of course it has to do with changing a diaper. Love, Ava Mom, I know it is always tough around this time for you, but I haven't been gone for two years. I have been flying pain free for two years. So today is my new birthday into heaven. So consider me lucky. I have two birthdays, and that is awesome. So in my mind I had the best birthday ever. It's kind of ironic, but I spent it in the hospital with my two HEALTHY baby sisters. Thank you for my gifts. Love Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEV!!! 12 years old? Your like an old man. Well, for me you are. Although your hair is so long that I could call you an old lady. Just kidding. I miss you so much. Everyone does. Fortunately, I fly for free, so I see you all the time. You are so cute, and I'm not the only girl angel that thinks so. I'm so proud of you. Between hockey, school, and modeling you are so awesome. Well keep up the good work, and remember I am with you all the time. Love, One of your many little sisters. Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!!!!! I love your new place. It's so cozy. I don't know if you realized but I was sitting right next to you today. Can you keep a secret? Don't tell my mom or dad, but I took a few sips of your wine. Flying and drinking don't mix. Rather than flying, I felt like I was sky diving. Well I hope you have a great B-day. Me and you know who will be partying right with you. Love,Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE BRE!!!!! I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD BIRTHDAY!!!! TELL P-DIDDY & ANGEL I SAID HELLO!!! YOU MAY NOT NOTICE IT BECAUSE PETE IS THE JOLLY GREEN GIANT, BUT ANGEL IS GETTING SO TALL. WELL I"LL TALK TO YOU SOON. AN ANGEL'S WORK IS NEVER DONE. LOVE, AVA HAPPY BIRTHDAY SILLY JILLY!!!!!! Another year has gone by. I'm two, and you have two. They are getting so big, so fast. Have they worn you out yet? I help as much as I can, but they're boys and they don't listen to me. Besides when they are both crying at the same time, it's a little much even for an angel to handle. HAHA!!! Well I hope you have a good birthday, and if you have a few seconds of silence, close your eyes, and I'll sing happy birthday to you. Gotta go, an angel's work is never done. Love, Ava Posted 7-21-06 I MISS YOU TOO!!! I know this is a hard day for everyone, so I thought that I would write a poem to help make you feel better. (Especially to you mom.) I hope you like it. Mommy mommy, please don't cry I feel no pain, and I can fly No broken wings to hold me down Which is why my feet never touch the ground Remember me now, not the way that I was It's not you without me, it will always be US I'm without limitations, and free to roam And although you can't see me, I'm always at home Snuggling close, all tucked in your arms Through your belly I kiss the two little charms So think of me today, as your two year old girl And thank you for my gift of being the Best in the World.. Love, Ava Posted 7-14-06 07-03-06 HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE LILLY!!!!! YOU DIDN'T REALLY THINK I FORGOT YOUR BIRTHDAY, DID YOU? I WAS LAYING ON THE COUCH RIGHT NEXT TO YOU AT MIKE'S PARENT'S HOUSE, AND I FELL ASLEEP. I DIDN'T WAKE UP UNTIL THE NEXT DAY, WHICH WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE COMPUTERS ON SUNDAYS. I THINK YOU KNOW WHY. SO HERE I AM, WISHING ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUNTIES A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN WITH JENNA & MADDY TODAY. IF MADDY SEEMS TO BE STARING INTO A DAZE OR TALKING TO THE AIR, THAT'S ME!! WELL GOTTA GO, AN ANGEL'S WORK IS NEVER DONE. PS I'M SITTING ON THE ROOF OF YOUR TRUCK UNTIL YOU EITHER FIX YOUR WINDOWS OR AC. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO SIT IN A HOT HOT HOT TRUCK WITH FEATHERS? I WOULD HOPE NOT. LOVE AVA 06-26-06 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!! IT WAS SO COZY SITTING IN YOUR NEW CHAIR YESTERDAY. I SNUGGLED UP CLOSE WITH YOU AND KENZIE LAST NIGHT. I DID LEAVE FOR A LITTLE BIT AND CLIMBED ON THE COUCH WITH DAD BECAUSE HE WAS ALL ALONE. JUST SO YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU FEEL AN ITCH ON YOUR BELLY THAT'S ME KISSING THE TWINS. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM. BY THE WAY I THINK IT'S A BOY AND A GIRL, AND MY FAVORITE NAMES ARE ISABELLA & DREW. HAVE FUN THIS WEEK WITH KENZIE AT THE COTTAGE. I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON DAD TO MAKE SURE HE BEHAVES HIMSELF. I'M SURE WE'LL WATCH SOME SPORTS TOGETHER, OR SHOULD I SAY, I'LL TAKE A NAP WHILE HE WATCHES THE GAME. WELL GOTTA FLY. AS I ALWAYS SAY, AN ANGEL'S WORK IS NEVER DONE. LOVE,AVA 5-31-06 WELCOME COUSIN JOHN ANDREW!! I saw your picture and you're so cute. A baby boy in the family. McKenzie & I love boys because they're so cool. I've been to Florida a couple of times to check on everyone, and it is so hot. My wings get all sweaty & heavy, so I have to take more breaks. Then again, it's not so pleasant for me to fly around in the middle of winter up north. Ok, who am I kidding, I don't feel a thing. It's beautiful wherever I'm at. I was just trying to make everyone feel better. Well as I always say, an Angel's work is never done. Talk to you later. PS: If you see John starring into space, don't worry, it's just me. We're having baby talk. Love, Ava John Andrew May 24th, 2006 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM!!! Sorry I'm a day late. I was spreading the good news to all the angels. We've been crying tears of joy for days now to the point where we lost electricity. Our computers have been down, which is why I am finally writing you this message. By the way we are all sorry about the flooding. We promise to control ourselves a little better. I have just been so excited that I can't stop talking about it. Tell Grammy & Nana, and all the other moms that I said Happy Mother's Day. Well I have to go, I've been put on Flood Patrol Watch to make sure everyone is safe. Talk to you soon. Love, Ava 5-15-06 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!!! Your are so big. 7 years old. WOW!!! I love watching you play basketball and riding your bike. I hope you don't mind that I helped you when you first took the training wheels off. I just wanted to make sure you didn't fall. It didn't take you long before you were doing it all on your own. Of course, I wasn't far behind. Just looking out for my sis. I can't wait for the sleep over, we are going to have so much fun. Well have fun during vacation, and give mom a big kiss from me. I do all the time, but I'm not sure she feels them. LOVE, THE ONE WHO LOOKS UP TO YOU & DOWN AT YOU. YOUR LITTLE SIS, AVA HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMPY!!!! 60 YEARS YOUNG!!! AMAZING.. YOU DON'T LOOK A DAY PAST 59 1/2. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE ANGELS THINK HIGHLY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DO TO HELP THOSE IN NEED, AND YOU WILL BE RECOGNIZED FOR IT. BUT FOR NOW YOU HAVE TO PUT UP WITH BEING RECOGNIZED AS THE GUY WHO FIXES EVERYTHING WITH A FORK, MIXES UP HIS SON'S NAMES, AND CAN MAKE NOISES FROM BOTH ENDS AT THE SAME TIME. MY MOM THANKS YOU FOR PASSING THAT LAST ONE ONTO MY DAD. WELL I GOTTA FLY, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY WINGS TRIMMED. LOVE,AVA Posted 3-31-06 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SULLIVANS!!!! THERE HERE!!!! LIAM & KEEGAN HAVE ARRIVED. I KNOW YOU TWO ARE GOING TO BE GREAT PARENTS, AND THEY ARE GOING TO GROW UP TO BE PERFECT GENTLEMEN. WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH MY SISTER LOVES MIKE, SO I AM SURE SHE IS GOING TO LOVE THEM TOO. SO WATCH FOR KENZIE WHEN THEY GROW UP. THEY HAVE VERY SPECIAL GUARDIAN ANGELS, AND I WILL MAKE SURE THEY NEVER TAKE THEIR EYES OFF OF EITHER OF THEM. WELL I GOTTA GO, I HAVE A FLYING CLASS TO TEACH.

I practice with them a little each night. Well have a good day, and enjoy some cake. Love, Ava Hi Silly Jilly, You had the best baby shower ever. I can't believe all the stuff you and Mike got. Although I guess I can. There is two on the way. Two of everything. Two dirty diapers, spit up on both sides of your shirt, two cries in the middle of the night, two two two. I bet you can't wait because that also means twice as much snuggles & twice as many kisses. Well I gotta go, an angel's work is never done. Love Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDY!!! Posted 1-26-06 I can't believe you are already going to be 1 years old. You are so cute and little. I love watching you walk around the house. I also would like to mention that you have the best wardrobe. It could be just me, but everything seems to have butterflies on it. My mom thinks you go to bed so good on your own, but that's because she doesn't know that we play together in the crib. Well I gotta go, i'll see ya at your na-night time. (wink wink). Love, you cousin Ava PS. Can you give Papa a kiss from me. I don't want him to think I forgot his birthday. thanks.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMY!!! Posted 1-13-06 Grammy, I hope a you had a nice lunch with Uncle Johnny, and have fun with my mom and dad tonight. I always have fun watching Uncle Johnny play. He makes me dance and shake my booty. Like I said before, I also get a kick out of the faces he makes. I can't believe you are only 21, it sounds impossible since my dad is 33, but hey, roll with it. Well I'll see tonight. LOVE, AVA HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN!!! Posted 1-13-06 I know your Birthday isn't until next week, but I wasn't going to have access to a PC for about a week. They are upgrading our Angel Network, to increase the speed. What do you know, even we have computer problems. I also never had the chance to thank you for everything you and your family did for mine, when I was with them. You did alot of research about EB and made sure to keep my parents were informed. The free parking spot helped allot too. Well give Mariah and Jaelynn a big hug and a kiss from me,a nd have a Happy Birthday. Love Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESSIE!!! Posted 12-05-05 Essie, I hope you have a great birthday. I will be at your party this weekend. You are such a big girl, and funny too. I was laughing so hard, when you slept over the other night. Your so crazy, and so is your hair. I think it is funny when my dad calls you Macy Grey. Well I got to go. See this weekend. LOVE, AVA PS I still love your hair. HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JOHNNY!!! Posted 12-05-05 I know your Birthday isn't until tomorrow, but I wanted to make sure I didn't forget. Unfortunately, I got my memory from my dad. The good thing is I got my looks from my mom. I wanted to let you know that I listen to you play your guitar and drums all the time, and I love it. I find some of the faces you make when your groovin' are so funny. Don't worry though, I know it is a musician thing. Love Ava PS. I still love your hair too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. VESSEL!!! Posted 11-22-05 Tamara, thank you for being so good to my family, especially me. I consider myself so lucky to have had you on my team. I see you all the time because I am a guardian angel for the children at CHB & Dana Farber. You really are incredible at what you do. To be able to improve all these children's lives, along with their families' is amazing. So I hope you are pampered on this day because you truly deserve it. LOVE, AVA HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JARROD!!! November 20th, 2005 Sorry I didn't write you a message yesterday, but my friends had a party for me. It was my 1st year anniversary of being an Angel. So they gave me a cake and new wings. Between you and me, my wish was for you to have a good birthday. Give Essie a big hug and a kiss from me, and tell her I love her hair. Love Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEV!!! 11-26-05 I can't believe my big brother is 11 years old. Your almost a teenager?#$% I know that you can't see me, but I go swimming with you & Bailey all the time. Your new house is so cool, and it is nice and sunny all the time. By the way, I love your hair. Don't tell dad, but I know that he wishes he had hair like yours. I am gonna help you blow out the candles on your birthday cake, I just wish that I could help you eat it. Well I better get going, it's my turn to count. I love playing hide and seek in the clouds. Remember, I am always watching over you, so you make sure you watch over your sisters. Love, Ava P.S. Whatever your favorite present is, I helped pick it out. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!!! FLORIDA BOUND Posted 09-12-05 I loved your cake, it looked just like Florida. I am going to miss you, but I will visit you when I see my big bro. Make sure you use plenty of sunscreen because believe me when I say that your skin is very important. I spoke to your guardian angel yesterday to ensure a safe trip for you. So it's a done deal. I heard through the clouds that you were in North Carolina this morning and doing fine. We're going to miss having you around, but you need to do what's best for you. Over the past year or so, you set yourself aside for us, and now it's time to take care of you and only you. I hope you have a good birthday, eventhough that may be tough being stuck in the car. Treat yourself when you get to your new home. Love Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE BRE!!!! Posted 08/22/05 Happy Birthday. I hope you had a good time up in Maine with all my aunties. Me, Puppa, & Grampa sang to you today. Could you hear us? I can't wait until Angel gets home. I play with him sometimes. I'm a pretty good basketball player. Well I gotta go. Bye Love AVA HAPPY BIRTHDAY SILLY JILLY!!!!! Posted 7-25-05 AHYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought that you would get a kick out of that. Better late than never. By the way, I wasn't going to let anything happen to you and Leanne in the float. Love Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! Posted 7-14-05 Remember that I am still one today in heaven as I would be on earth. The only difference is that I am free from pain allowing me to enjoy my party with friends and family. Mom I have seen how much you have been hurting lately, and please remember that I am always with you. I catch every tear that you drop. I love you so very much and I miss you too that is why I never leave your side. You took care of me when I wasn't well, and now as your Angel, or as dad likes to call me Everlasting Butterfly, I will take care of you. So whenever you are missing me, please remember that I am there. I may have went through 4 months of discomfort, but I now have a lifetime of peace and perfection. Most people have to wait a lifetime on earth to do so, which isn't easy. Things are so beautiful and I have so many friends and family here, so don't think that I am alone. So for my birthday I would like to the following: I wish you & dad happiness, my family to be well, and for McKenzie and Devin not to fight so much. Love Ava I'm number 1..... HAHA HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE LILY!!!! Posted 07-01-05 I know tomorrow is your birthday, but I will not be able to get to a computer. Listen closely for me tomorrow because I will sing Happy Birthday to you. Have fun this weekend, but not too much. You know what I mean. Miss you, love you. AVA HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

LOVE AVA GOOD JOB DEV!!! 5-16-05 THATS SO AWESOME THAT YOU RECEIVED AN AWARD FOR THE BEST OFFENSIVE PLAYER. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. Keep practicing and one day you will be playing for the Bruins. By the way, your Hockey Number is the same as my birthday, so when you play, think of me being right there with you on your back.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JACKIE!!!!! Me, Papa, and Grampa sang Happy Birthday to you this morning. 28 years old? Your such a big boy now. HAHA!! Well I gotta go, an angels work is never done. Have a good birthday. Love Ava HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENZIE!!!!! I can't believe that your 6 years old!!! I had so much fun at your party. Did you hear me singing to you? I followed you around, but you were too fast crawling through the tunnels, going down the slides, and climbing up the rope ladder. My favorite was the Spounge Bob Bouncy thing. I can't believe how many presents you got. I saw you and mom cleaning your room trying to make space for everything. Remember!! Every time you're playing, whether you're alone or not, I'm playing with you. Between sisters, I always win. Just kidding!!! Well I'll write to you soon. Enjoy school vacation. Love AVA 3-28-05 I hope everyone had a nice Easter. I found a lot of eggs and I got a big basket full of all kinds of things. I can't believe that the Easter Bunny even comes here. I know my brother and sister had a nice Easter too. McKenzie got Easter baskets from Uncle Jarrod, Grampy, Auntie Bre, and of course the Easter Bunny. Mckenzie make sure you do an extra good job brushing your teeth. Devin was at a hockey tournament at Lake Placid, and they won the Bronze medal coming in third on Easter. Even though they lost their first two games, they won their last three. In the last three games, my brother scored a Hat trick with a total of four goals and at least that many or more assists. He played so good, and I am so proud of him. He has an awesome team. My dad was there, and I know he had fun too. Unfortunately, my mom was sick all weekend, so her Easter wasn't so good. Mckenzie and I took care of her while dad was gone. I gave her angel kisses because they are the best medicine. Well I got to go and tend to my mom. I will write to you soon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMPY!!!!!! LOVE< AVA 03-17-05 Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. Papa is telling me all about my Irish heritage, Shamrocks, and Leprachauns. We watched the parade from up here, and I told papa that everyone looks like a Leprechaun from this high up. I gotta go and count me lucky stars. By the way, even though my favorite colors are purple and pink, I look pretty cute in GREEN. Love Ava 03-01-2005 Hello everyone. I miss you. Don't worry about me because everyone is taking good care of me. Every now and then I will be leaving messages when there is a birthday, Holiday, addition to the family, etc. So keep an eye out because this is the only way I can let you know when I am thinking about you. So I will start off by saying hello to my newest cousins Madison & Evan. I will write to you later. Love Ava 03-03-05 I just wanted to let everyone know that I had cake today for the first time with my Papa & my Great Gramps. It was my Papa's birthday. We sat on the clouds and had a picnic. Just thought you would like to know. Love Ava |
