It is hard to describe my emotions. 

Avery has touched many lives and I am honored to call him friend.  I know Avery  has great confidence in our Lord and his eternal home in heaven. But, from our point of view, we would love to have Avery on earth for a while longer.  

As you pray for our other requests we have shared, add Avery and Shirley to your list.  You can read his story here.
