Avery was that little girl that punched above her weight and found a way to stand out in the crowd. She was a compassionate, energetic, athletic, mischievous little prankster who loved soccer, skiing, sailing and most of all loved getting a rise of “Averrrry!!??!?” out of her friends and family who loved her.

Avery’s best days included morning snuggles (don’t worry there were evening snuggles too), showing off something (it changed every day) at school with her friends, prank texting her cousins, hiding in the clothes hamper to surprise her unsuspecting mom and spending hours playing games and shooting soccer balls with her sister Lexi… And then, grabbing that evening snuggle with Mom & Dad before bed.
