Roger, Stevie, Janet and family: You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how much Mrs. Ashley meant to all of you. I can remember the stories that Stevie told us about Mrs. Ashley. Cherish the thoughts and memories they will sustain you in the days to come. Losing a loved one, is such a bitter pill to swallow, but keep in mind, there is no sorrow that God and Heaven cannot heal.
Stevie, I think of you more often than you know. I will try to keep in touch more.
