I am so sorry to hear about Ms Avinell
I did her hair for years and can say that she was one of my favorites. We had many talks and laughs. I retired and she would call and check on me. I loved her dearly. My thoughts and prayers with all her family .

I am so sorry I cannot be there with our family. Loved my aunt. She was a treasure for sure. Now if I could just make those rolls the way she taught me but I know they will never be as good As hers. October, 2015 was the last time I got to visit with her and we had so many laughs that rainy morning. Got to share her with some of my arizona friends and they still talk about that fun visit. Will miss her and hear her saying "well, Betty" .
