Leah Victoria Avril

Im from Point Pleasant, West Virginia Ive actually told this story to a few friends and it touches them deeply they pray for your family still <3 . A friend I know from sevierville tn had mentioned her name to me, and told me the story. It had bothered and had been on my mind, repeatedly and I couldnt put my finger on it of why it bothered me. I looked at this page  multiple times, she looked so familiar. Well I read her life story she worked at Texas Roadhouse it brought me to tears, my family and I had stopped there to eat. I fell on my way out of the bathroom I'm more then sure she seen me haha she had a huge smile on her face, I talked to her for a couple seconds before I set down. I didnt know her well but she seemed kind, and sweet, she had a beautiful smile and she was a beautiful girl. Its tragic, and sad, it actally angers me to see such a young life been taken by a dumb boys wreckless choice and a stupid act its sad to think she didnt get to live to the fullest :'/ but your in a better place now, in gods arms. I convey my tender feelings of sympathy and support to you on the loss of your tender and sweet child. May God take you towards the happier days after this tragic loss. I pray that your family stays strong and holds together, i pray for you Leah. RIP Leah Avirl, we'll all be seeing you <3

Jo and Leah's family, we are all grieving so much for our precious angels. Who would have ever thought that these innocent children would leave us so soon. Seems like each day does not get any easier, simply because we are lost without Leah and Kyle. I did not know Leah's family until we met at the Angel Tree of Remembrance. Life is good in some ways for meeting each and everyone of you, was like I have known them all my life. Leah has such a loving and wonderful family and precious Leah, you can see the love in her eyes and her smiles. Just wanted to thank you Jo from the bottom of my heart. When I first met you years ago, I could tell you were a loving and caring person and you still are today. Thank you Jo for all your support and kind words. Kyle's memorial it so beautiful, thanks to you Jo, you said you would make it beautiful and you did. I can not keep my eyes off it. Thanking God that we have this site to share our memories and find comfort in our angels. Praying for Leah's family in the upcoming months that justice will soon come. We are still waiting for that call to come for Kyle's case to move forward and justice will come for my sweet baby. To Amy and Shirley my heart goes out to you and I feel your pain. Til we meet again, Love Judy

Dear Jo and family   We are all so woven together in grief for our children whom we believe have gone too soon.I can only take comfort in the fact that Our God knows the master plan and our children were a part of it as we all are too.Leah is one of the most beautiful creatures God has created.Her vibrance and vitality in all the pictures I have seen of her is just breathtaking!!Meeting on this site is unfortunate yet a blessing and an assurance that God never leaves or forsakes us as He has directed us all to this site where earthly angels abound and give comfort .Nicky would have loved hanging out with Leah and I think she would have liked him too.I know they have found each other and are running from one exciting thing to the next breathless in their enthusiasm.I pray for peace and comfort in the days ahead,we all know how hard that is to come by.Nicky's trial was postponed till June 13th 2011.It will be 3 yrs and 3 months by then.the Lord has given me peace that at least they are still in jail and cannot harm anyone else till then.I will wait patiently for justice.The Lord has taken me this far,I know by His grace,I will continue to have hope.May you find the same inner strength and may God Bless you and keep you.I can't tell you how much Nicky being included in Leah's rock garden has meant to me.It is still one of the most beautiful ways I have seen to pay tribute to our children.Forever grateful I have found you all.Love Barb
