Ashtin Kroon Obituary

Ashtin Kroon 4/28/2003 ~ 2/21/2008 On Wednesday, February 20th, 2008, our precious daughter Ashtin was involved in a traffic accident in South Jordan, UT.After hours of effort from the staff at Primary Children's Hospital, Ashtin returned to our Heavenly Father early on February 21. It's amazing how many lives this little girl touched. She brought a lifetime of joy and happiness to everyone who knew her. Our lives will never be the same without her. We will miss taking her to a "wovie", "watching Td", or seeing her progressing as she cart wheeled around gymnastics class. Ashtin will be missed because of her charismatic personality which made everyone smile, and her loving ways to touch everyone's heart. She leaves behind her father Wes Kroon, her mother Lori Floor, her brother Colton Livingston, her stepfather George Floor and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and friends. She's even left behind seven great grandparents. A loving thank you goes out to all of her teachers and those who cared for her in daycare and a special thanks to everyone at Primary Childrens' Hospital who cared for Ashtin. Funeral services will be held Sat., March 8, 2008 at 11 a.m. at Jordan River Ridge Stake Center, 10191 S 1000 W, South Jordan. A viewing will be held Friday, March 7 from 6-8 p.m. at Jenkins Soffe South Valley, 1007 W South Jordan Parkway (10600 S) and Sat., from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Chase Bank and Utah Central Credit Union. For more info see www.AshtinKroon.com

Ash I love you I love to talk to you in my dreams them I can't go to sleep knowing you are gone with out me. When you died I wanted to wake up Jake but Aunt Jen said that you would tell Jake I loved that and at Jakes Birthday the last thing that I got to do was give you a hug and a kiss. And your Dad is right everyday is harder with out you but mostly every second is hard.

March 31, 2010

This doesn't seem to be getting any easier Ash. I miss you more everyday and I pray that you will come visit me in my dreams. Thanks for sending me that message the other day. I will see you again someday. I love you! Daddy

I read Ashleighs note and I started to cry so that means I am crying right now. I love to pray now so I can tell you things I hate to cry but I have to. I hope you got my note to you if so it's true some people may think that I may not mean it but it is so very ture I got one of your blankets I sleep with every night so I know I'm safe.

With so much LOVE with all my heart,

Sweet Ashtin,
There is always going to be a part of my heart that is broken over you. Everyday I see or hear something that reminds me of you and that make me smile. I will always be astonished by the amazing spirit that you had. You could light up any room you were in with your smile or that little contagious laugh of yours! I have so many fun memories of you running around the salon with all of us, and I know there are days you are there with us still. I will always love and miss you.

Love Ashleigh
P.S. Chloe hopes you like the picture that she sent to you!

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on fallen snow
I am the sun on rippened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die!

Ash, you will live inside of me forever. You are with me everywhere I go. I love you! Daddy

July 11, 2009

Thank you Ash, for loving me and giving my life meaning. You are the greatest blesing I could ask for. I am changed forever because of you. I will live the rest of my life for you so that we will be together again. I will see you soon. I love you! Daddy

June 6, 2009

Hi baby girl. I just want to tell you that I love you more everyday. You made me smile and showed me love like I've never known. I miss your laugh and your hugs and everything about you. I know that you are out there somewhere. I pray everyday that we will be together someday soon. I look forward to that day. I miss you so much! Daddy

Ashtin,
I thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun then you turned away
And I know it couldn't be
But my heart believed...
Oh it seems like there's something everyday
How could you be so far away
When you're still here
When I need you you're not hard to find
You're still here
I can see you when I close my eyes
And I laugh and cry
You're still here

I had a dream last night
That you came to me on silver wings and I flew away with you on a painted sky
And I woke up wondering what was real
Is what you see and touch or what you feel
'Cause you're still here
Oh you're everywhere we've ever been
You're still here
I heard you in a strangers laugh
And I hung around to hear her laugh again
Just once again

I thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun then you turned away...
But my heart believed

May 20, 2009

I miss you little girl! I think about you every day. I will never forget you.:(

May 13, 2009

When I close my eyes, you're all I see. In the dark of night you're in my dreams. Throughout the day you're easy to find. You're always there when I close my eyes."

Happy Birthday Ashtin,

I can't help but think back and remember your 4th birthday party at the park by your Daddy's house. There were balloons, laughter, smiles and alot of bubbles. I gave you a Tinkerbell purse full of different kinds of chapstick. I ended up playing dress up with you and got to wear all of them at the same time. Hehe. I just never could tell you NO. You brought so much love into my life and I want to thank you for that. I miss you and I will always cherish my memories. Happy Birthday Baby.
I love you...

Thank you for choosing me
For touching my heart
And setting me free
For loving me with all your heart
And giving my life another start
You're my heart and soul
My dream come true
There will never be another you
My life has changed forever
Now that you're gone
It's dark and cold
Like there's no sun
The world continues on
Like you were never here
But in my heart
You will always be near
So all I can do is keep on living
Hope and pray that God is listening
"Please come get me and bring me home"
"So me and Ash will be together as one"

Sweetest Ashtin,

I would like to dedicate this to all your loved ones and family who are missing you like I am....

I stumbled across your picture today, I could barely breathe
The moment stopped me cold and it grabbed me like a thief
I dialed your number but you wouldnt be there
I knew the whole time but its still isn't fair
I just wanted to hear your voice, I just needed to hear your voice

What do I do with all I need to say?
There is so much I want to tell you each and everyday
Though it breaks my heart I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you, but they get lost in the blue.....
Because there is no address in the stars

I am lost in this pitch black darkness
I am screaming at the sky
Oh because it hurts so bad, they say all I need is time
Then the morning light rolls in and it hits me yet again
Time is nothing but a lie


So what do I do with all I need to say?
There is so much I want to tell you each and everyday
Though it breaks my heart I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you, but they get lost in the blue...
Because there is no address in the stars

Without you here with me, I dont know what to do!
I'd give anything, anything just to talk to you
Though it breaks my heart, oh it breaks my heart
All that I can do is write these letters to you but there is no address in the stars

I still miss you....Forever

Wes Kroon

Hi baby. I still can't believe you're gone! Sometimes the pain is unbearable. I miss you so much. Please don't forget that you will always be my best friend.

A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, They will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

Hi baby. Well, one year ago today. I remember that day like it was yesterday. We had alot of fun that day. I picked you up from school and we stopped to get a treat. We came home and you wanted to get in the tub, of course, you loved the bath tub. I remember you sliding down the back of the tub like it was a slippery slide. I remember us sitting in the recliner watching TV. You were still in your towel, soaking wet. Your mom came and picked you up a little after 4 p.m. and you gave me a big kiss goodbye, for the last time. I will never forget that day. My heart hurts so much when I think about that last day we spent together. I can't believe you are really gone! I miss you everyday and I will for the rest of my life. I love you! Daddy

People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
Say I need to get on with my life
But what they don't realize

Is when you're missing her so, there is a hole in heart
Trying to make it through the day without falling apart
Waking a friend in the dead of the night
just to hear him say it's going to be alright
When you're finding things to do at night, just to fall asleep
Because you know she'll be waiting in your dreams
that's when she's more than a memory

Trying to remember every word she ever spoke
Still feels like my life went up in smoke
took all her pictures off the wall
that aint helping me at all

'Cause when you're talking out loud and nobody's there
you look like hell and you just don't care
you're drinking more than you ever drank
and sinking down lower than you ever sank
then you find yourself falling on your knees
Praying to God and, begging him “please"
that's when she's more than a memory

People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
but when she's in every minute of every day
every thought i think
every breath i take
she's everywhere and she's everything
she's more than a memory

Ashtin you will always be more than a memory to me. I still hold you in my heart. I miss you. I love you. Always and Forever

January 24, 2009

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
You're memory's so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be...?
That you are mine, forever now
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant stars
I wish upon tonight to see you smile
If only for a while to know you're there
A breath away's not far to where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dreams
And is it faith believing all power can be seen
As my heart holds you just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday...
And I believe that angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave.

Hi baby girl, we will be together again. Please wait for me.. I love you.

Daddy

Dearest Ashtin,

With all the snow falling down I can't help but remember our last time together........

I hadn't seen you in quite a while and I got invited to go sledding with my sister Austin and you were coming along. I remember pulling up to meet you guys to see you bouncing up and down on the seat of her car your crazy hair bouncing with you. I think you were just as happy to see me as I was to see you. I sat in the back right by you even though I get really car sick because I wanted to be close to you. I will always remember trudging up the big hill trying to carry you for one more time, just one more time down on the sled. We laughed so hard as you rode down on my back. I was so exhausted but couldn't tell you no as you asked for one more time with your cute little red nose. When we got too cold we went back to the car and sang Taylor Swift songs at the top of our lungs until it was time to go. I went to get in the front so I wouldn't get sick again but you asked with your sweet little voice " Please sit by me I want to tickle you" and of course I couldn't resit. You fell asleep in my arms holding my hand and I remember thinking how I wish that day would never end. I think I told you that I loved you about 100 times that day because I didn't know when I would get to see you next. Little did I know it would be so much longer than I could bear. I thank God everyday for that last time with you. It honestly was the happiest day I had in a very long time. I'm so grateful for all the one more times I spent with you, pushing you underdoggy in the swings and going up that big hill to sled down again. I treasure the One More Times and I keep asking God for just one more time with you. One more laugh, one more hug, one more I love you. I pray one day I will get my One More Time with you. Until then I will treasure my memories, carry you in my heart, love you everyday and miss you until my one More Time......

Happy Thanksgiving Sweetie! I remember the first Thanksgiving I spent with you...you were about 2 1/2. I remember you climbing your high chair like it was a ladder and standing on the tray like you just reached the peak of Mt.Everest. I also remember sometime during the day hearing a little voice cry 'help'...we all looked around and you were sitting in front of the tv with your back up against the entertainment center with an innocent look on your face. Again we heard the cry 'help'...finally we realized that you had closed your cousin Kycen in the cabinet and was holding it closed...it was Kycen yelling for help...and you were obviously pleased with your accomplishment. You were always such an animated child...
I miss you so much. I wish you could be here with us for Thanksgiving. But I thank the Lord for everyday that He allowed you to spend with us. I love you and I miss you. We all do.

Daddy

November 21, 2008

It's been nine months today that you were taken from us. It seems like forever since I've seen your face. It's still impossible to believe that you are really gone. Somedays I don't know how or why I'm still here, but I am and I miss you more each day. I love you Ashtin.

Ashtin,

If I'd've known the way that this would end
If I'd've read the last page first
If I'd've had the strength to walk away
If I'd've known how this would hurt

I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I'd've loved you anyway

It's bittersweet to look back now
At memories withered on a vine
Just to hold you close to me
For a moment in time

Even if I'd seen it comin'
You'd still have seen me runnin'
Straight into your arms

I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I would've loved you anyway

I will always love you baby girl......

I thank God everyday for the time we had together. You touched my heart and soul so deeply. You brought joy and happiness into my life like I've never known. Thank you for loving me. I will never forget the love you gave me and the happinees you brought into my life. Being your dad wad the greatest thing I've ever done. I will never forget you and the love I have in my heart for you will never die. I miss you so much. You were my dream come true. My life without you is dark and lonely. The emptinees I feel inside consumes me. I live each day hoping and praying that we will be together soon, but I will leave that up to God. I can't believe that you are gone. I love you. See you soon.

Sweetest Ashtin

Some people say that I just shouldn't speak to you
They think that I should just move on

You ought to see the way these people look at me
When they see me 'round here talking to this stone

Everybody thinks I've lost my mind
But I just take it day by day

I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh, you left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes I feel an angel's touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I never see your face
I probably wouldn't be this way

I still miss you.....I love you always

Daddy

September 26, 2008

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you. That is how I know you go on. Far across the distance and spaces between us. You have come to show you go on. Near, far wherever you are. I believe that the heart does go on. Once more you open the door and youre here in my heart and my heart will go on and on. Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime and never let go til were gone. Love was when I loved you one true time I hold you. In my life we'll always go on. You're here, there's nothing I fear and I know that my heart will go on. We'll stay forever this way. You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on.

I miss you so much Ashie. I don't know how my heart can go on without you. Sometimes I wish it wouldn't. Thank you for loving me. No one has ever made me feel the way you did. I love you forever.

Heart Broken

September 10, 2008

When you were born we all smiled as we looked upon you. You were scared, confused and crying.

When you died we were scared, confused and crying.And I know in my heart you were looking upon us...smiling.

August 21, 2008

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe.....
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, she's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream......

How I wish and pray this all was a bad dream and we could wake up tommorrow to see your beautiful face and hold you in our arms once again. I miss your smile.. I miss your sweet laugh.. Your tiny litlte hands holding mine... I miss my friend...
I love you... Always

Just like the first time
Call my name, it echos in the walls around this room
It's all you

I don't know if you hear me there
When it's darkest, and no one cares
I will hear you...

Forever

You were everything to me
Now I've got to learn to carry on
I know I cannot hide, this emptiness inside
But nothing is the same since you've gone

Send me letters from above
Send me strength, send me love
Such sweet love
Sing me songs that echo in my head and in my heart
for that is where you are.....

I don't know if you feel me there
But I can tell you one thing is clear
I will feel you...

Forever, I will feel you.....

Please take this pain away from me
Let me live, let me be..
Let me remember the good times without this painful loss in me...
Forever

Forever

When you were born, my dream came true
Being a dad and a best friend to you.
I will never forget the love we shared
Between a father and daughter
Nothing compares.
But that dream came to an end and now you're gone
What a tragic day, February twenty one.
But eventhough you're no longer here
The love remains, strong and true.
It will never end, the love we shared between me and you.
So until we meet again
Please wait for me, until my journey ends.
And when that day is here
We will continue on together
holding hands and laughing,
Forever.

Don't think of her as gone away,her journy"s just begun.life holdsso many facets,this earth is only one.Just think of her as resting,from the sorrow and the tears,in a place of warmth and comfort,where there are no days and years,think how she must be wishing,that we could know today,how nothing but our sadness can ever pass away.And think of her as living in the hearts she has touched,For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much,,,,i love you very much lori,, and wes,, the pain will subside ,,i promise you that,, not for awhile though,

Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again and it's like you haven't been
Gone a moment from my side, like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure, We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see, I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Now when you die your life goes on, it doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light. It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe
Forever, You're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh, the people who don't see the most, say that I believe in ghosts
If that makes me crazy then I am
There are more than Angels watching over me because I believe
I believe

Dearest Ashtin
I keep waiting for the pain and loss to ease or get a little easier to deal with. But every day it seems I miss you more...... You are always on my mind and I feel you in my heart. Please know that I will love you for eternity. Forever and always I love you.

Ashtin
I've talked to friends, talked to myself, talked to God and prayed like hell, but I still miss you.......
I've tried sober, I've tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak but I still miss you.......
I've done everything to move on like I'm supposed to
But I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you.......

Hi baby girl. I miss you more everyday. The hurt inside never goes away. I wish I could hold you in my arms and never let go, but I know that I can't. I still can't believe that you're gone. I miss your smile. Please come visit me in my dreams. I love you!

My friend Ashtin, I miss you every day. I know you dance in the clouds with Jesus, but id rather see your smiling face down with me. The other day we let go butterflies, balloons, and I sang to you I hope you heard me. Your one of the most beautiful angles on Earth so I just hope we can be together again.
Love, Your dear friend Jalon.

An Angels Birthday

No candles on a cake this year
No party hats and sounds of cheer
On this day when you were born
We hang our heads, we cry and mourn
To have you gone from our touch
It breaks our hearts, it hurts so much
God is the one who is blessed this year
To see your face and have you near
Your time with us was far to brief
Impossible it seems to hide our grief
So on this day with out you here
We cherish our memories and hold them dear
Hold you in our hearts,each and everyway
And miss you babygirl on this Angels Birhtday- Brittany


Ashtin-
I know you are in heaven shining down on all of us on this day, chasing the butterflies,laughing and cartwheeling around. Happy birthday baby. I love and miss you more with each passing day.

Happy Birthday Ashtin! We miss you so much and know that you are having cake and ice cream with the angels.

Alex speaks of you often. Last night she dreamt that you came from heaven and jumped on the trampoline with her. TJ swears that you have helped to pick out his new brother/sister.

Thank you for being apart of our lives and reminding us to laugh.

Happy Birthday...

Wes:

For the last 6 weeks I have watched your strengths and humility as you
work through this horrendous loss. You have managed to honor Ashtin with
your compassion, forgiveness and understanding. You show only the best side
of a Dad. You hold true to your values not only in what you do but in how
you act
Your LOVE for Ashtin has made you a true gentleman, And a DAD
that very few men ever achieve. You are one of the truly Blessed Dad's that
has held and Angle in his arms from the very beginning as Ashtin entered
into this world to the moment she returned home.My heart is over whelmed
when I think of how much sorrow that your going through. And how hard it
is for your to go on day after day knowing that your life will never be the
same. But the LOVE that you show all of us is like the warmth of the sun
on a beautiful Spring day. You're blessed with a soul that radiates -LOVE-
love for family, friends and anyone that needs a friend. I wish that I could
take away your pain. I wish I could take back time and give you back your
best friend. But I know I can't and I know that the sorrow you feel can never
be shared. But I also know that when you return home Ashtin will be there
with open arms with that cute little giggle that let's your know that she
is planning something FUN.
May GOD walk with you every step
of the way!!!!!YOU DESERVE IT!!!

Lori and Wes,
Not a day goes by that we don't think about little Ashtin. Words can't express how our hearts ache for you both, she truely was a little angel. We miss seeing her bright smiling face at Mandys and her saying "my daddy's going to pick me up today" (with her little sassy voice of coarse) and having her come into work and asking mommy to "paint my nails". You were her idols. She will forever be missed and loved by us all.

Brittany Stuart

Sweetest Ashtin-
I miss the smile on your face
I miss your tiny hands
I miss the sparkle in your eyes like tiny grains of sand
I miss the way you used to make your Daddy smile
I miss the way you'd crawl into my lap, just to sit awhile
I miss you in the morning and even more each night
I miss how big you'd hug your Daddy, your arms around him tight
I miss you baby girl in everything i do
I love you baby girl so i'll keep on missing you.....

Ashy,
You were my sister, because we shared Coco.....You were also my best friend. I think about you everyday and I miss you so much! I play with you often in my dreams, and I am taking good care of big brother like you asked me to. I hold his hand when we are in the car, or when I know he is missing you. I give him extra loves every night....one from me, and one for you. It's so very hard for me and Colton to understand why you can't be with us any longer. I keep telling brother that you are happy....I know you are dancing with the angels and chasing butterflies in Heaven. I love you Ashy!!

With Love Always and Forever,
Hadleigh

Wes, here is something i wrote for you.
"Daddy be strong, Daddy hold on. I know it gets so tough, and you don't know what to do. But Daddy be strong, cause I'm watching over you."
Wes I am so sorry. You are an incredibly strong man. I know that Ash, was your world, your everything. You are one of the best fathers I've ever met. So, I also wrote this.. "Darling dear, you left too soon. You know how much I will miss you. Every day, I'll think of you. I promise I'll be tough for you. Ashtin dear, to see your face.. I'd travel miles. I'd fly to space. I'd crawl upon my hands and knees. I'd swim to the bottom of the deepest seas. Just to see your face, and hold you in my arms."
Ashtin, I never got a chance to meet you. But I got to hear all the cute little stories about you, that my sister Brittany used to tell me. You left too soon. It isn't fair. I know you'll be very missed, and never forgotten. Your beautiful little face will always hold a place in my heart sweetie. R.I.P.

Hey Ash, its Mani... I miss you lots and I love you lots too.

When I first heard of your death I was hurt and didn't find it fair, but realized that I wasn't being very fair... wanting you here instead of Heaven, the best, Happiest place ever created.

But out of this whole incident, I learned about True Love. it was probably the hardest thing to chose if your only child lived, or died... and just to prove how much Uncle Wes loved that little girl... he chose to send her to Heaven than leave her to suffer here.

I was very touched to see how much my uncle needed my mom... how much a brother could need his sister, and it made me think how wonderful it might feel to have my younger sibling need me one day and to be able to help them.

i learned about true love and i now intend to live life to the fullest. you never know when its your time to go so you shouln't be afraid to do what you've always wanted.

I pray for my Uncle Wes, Aunt Lori, Colton, Ashtin, and the rest of the family almost every night and I encourage you to do the same... Never hurts to have too many prayers :) <3

Love. Mani

Little Miss Ashtin,
It still seems impossible that you're gone. We miss you each and every day. Looking up at your star and talking to you every night reminds us of just how vibrant and shining you were here with us and that you still are in heaven. Kaia always picks the brightest, most sparkly star in the sky...she just knows it fits you to a tee. She talks about you often and keeps your picture on her wall to remember your beautiful smile. You had such an infectious laugh and the cutest voice ever. Just like your cousin Kaia, you lit up the room when you walked in and left a tornado behind when you left:)!!
I remember the two of you running around, full of energy at Aunt Ricki's and giving the two of you a bath...I think I had more water on me than the both of you together! You both dancing and running around at Teagan's wedding and "stealing" frosted sugar cookies when you thought no one was looking...and then pressing them against your noses and laughing! Dancing with your Daddy, hugging him a big as your little arms would allow. And, most of all, I remember how happy you made your Daddy... I've never seen another dad in the world like him. You mean everything to him and he is so proud to be your Daddy. You were so blessed and lucky to have such a caring and devoted dad, and he just as lucky to have you as his daughter. You were definately "Two Peas in a Pod".
You've both taught me an important lesson in life...we are only left with memories when this life ends...and we never know when that's going to happen, so we need to make the most of each and every day we are blessed with. It doesn't matter if clothes get dirty, paint on the walls, having ice cream for dinner, etc...it only matters that we make the most of our lives while we can. I know this is how your dad lived life with you and it made both of you so happy. You were such a precious angel here on earth, touching everyone who knew you and now our special angel in heaven...until we meet again...We Love You!!!
Wes, we love you and hope to see you soon...
And, never forget...memories are FOREVER...so is LOVE...

Dearest Ashtin-From the moment you first crawled up into my lap at your daddys house I fell in love with you.Your beautiful smile, your infectious laugh, your big attitude and your tiny hands. From that moment on you filled my life with so much joy. It breaks my heart to know you are gone and that i will never again get to hold in my arms and tell you I love you. So I will do the only thing I can. I will forever hold you in my heart, feel you when the sun is warm on my face, hear you in my childrens laughter, cherish the time I have with you when you visit me in my dreams and love you always baby girl. Your friend Brittany

To my beautiful daughter:
I can't believe that you are gone! You will always and forever be the truest love of my life, my best friend. I will never forget all the little things you did that told me how much you loved me; when you would rub my back when we lay in bed, when we would go to the "play park" and swing, "push me higher daddy", when we would go to the pool and swim. We had so much fun together. Whenever I would pick you up fom Mandys' and you would see me come in and say "daddy, daddy I missed you" and give me a huge squeeze. That was the best feeling I've ever had. I will truly miss that forever! My heart is broken and will never be the same. Please know that I love you more every day and we will always be one. We will be together soon, I promise. Jesus said, "Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.... Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heavan" (Luke 6:21-23)
My life will never be the same and we will be together again, as one, forever, Goodbye my love!

George and Lori,
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, Ashtin. From her picture she looks like a sweet, happy girl. I just briefly heard the tragic news today. You were there for me when my son, Kevin Shepherd, died last August. I appreciated and will never forget your kindnesses then. Please accept my prayers and offer to be of any assistance. I was given a book that helped me greatly. It was "The Worst Loss, How Families Heal from the Death of a Child" by Barbara D. Rosof. I also attended a grief support group that is sponsored by the University of Utah. It's called Caring Connections. I know that it's too soon to think about these things, but file this information away and when you're ready, these things will be very helpful. By looking at all the love and prayers being sent to you through this guest book, you have a lot of support. Please use it, you will need it for a long time.
