There  are no words in which I can say about Ashleys passings and the effects it has on me. Ashley was true sunshine which you could see in her and all her pictures as she was growing up. I really found out what Ashley ment to so many people during her wake. There was a girl that Ashley cared for in a wheel chair, she arrived and sat at Ashleys side and cried.  I was so proud of Ashley at that moment. You see this girl could only communicate her words through her eyes and a piece of glass with letters on it. It was then I learned that Ashley could talk for her in this manner.  This girl could only sit and look at Ashley as she did not have full function of her arms. I could only imagine what it must of been like for her. Ashley was taken away from us and people just like this young girl. Ashley had a long life ahead of her and it trajically ended July 02-2007. Ashley I LOVE YOU and you will always be in my heart and mind.

     Hi Ashley

         Well its been 1 year now and I miss as much today as I did then. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. When I do think of you its either a smile or tears, I never get to pick which one it will be. I'm sure I am not alone when this happens. There are days that in my mind I believe you are still here. It has been very difficult on everyone. I think back on how you made people happy, I look at pictures when you were little and just laugh. You were such a clown, I remember wondering were you were at 7 pm only to find you in bed sleeping. Early to bed, early to rise. I know you would of done great things in your life. We all miss and love you very much, always in my thoughts.
