Nena, I am so sorry. Your Mother was such a delightful and lovely lady. I always enjoyed seeing her come up to the floor to visit you and let us visit with her. You are your Mother’s daughter. Remember that. I wish the Lord to keep his arms around you and your family during these times.
Love you Ms Avery, and God Bless your family
To nena sherrie and th
Doris I’m truly going to miss my sweet cousin she had a very sweet and gentle spirit i remember how we laugh and had such a good time together every time we saw each other I’m going to miss you Henrietta but i know that you are in a better place l
I am sorry I couldn’t make it. Loved your mother so much.
I went to school with Sherrie and Nena. I had the privilege to work with their mom at UT Hospital for a number of years, I remember her smile every time I visited the floor where she managed the nursing station. Ms. Avery always made my day, every day. I didn’t know until now of her passing. My condolences to Sherrie and Nena and the Avery family
