(AP Photo/Matt Slocum) LANSFORD — Ava Lerario lived in a home marked by love and chaos, even before the walls of the pandemic started closing in on her family. Sandwiched between two brothers, the 9-year-old was her father’s princess. She loved to snuggle up with her mom to read. She sometimes lugged her favorite stuffed animals to the bus stop, where she never hesitated to share toys or books, or befriend a lonely kid.
