We worked with Mr. Ashworth in the Orlando market for many years. I have always felt that he made me the person that I am today,and feel I owe my career to what he has taught me. He was one of my biggest mentors, and will surely miss his presence. Thank you for all you did for us.

My name is Aleda Frediani and Mr. Ashworth was my district manager at Walgreens in New Smyrna Beach for several years. He was well liked by everyone and was a very good district manager. We wished many times that he was still with us . He will be missed by many of his fellow Walgreen employees.

To Cindy & family - My deepest sympathies in your time of sorrow……
r>In our short time on earth there are special people that walk through our lives that we will always remember fondly. Mr. Ashworth was such a person to me. It was a privilege knowing such a kind and gentle man. I will miss him deeply but I am not too sad because we will meet again soon in the “Kingdom”.

I am also uploading a photo that I would like to share with you which was taken a few years ago. I hope that it brings a smile to your face like it does mine every time I look at it. Thank you Ms. Pouk for the photo and keeping a precious memory alive.

Mrs. Ashworth, Richard, & Sara,



Mr. Ashworth meant so much to so many. Thank you for "sharing" him with us for so many years. He loved all of you very much and spoke often of you often. Mr. A was not just a great WAG man, but he was one of the most decent, caring, and dedicated individuals that I have ever met. You are in my thoughts and prayers.



Best regards,

Mr Ashworth was an amazing individual, I have been friends with Mr Ashworth since 1989. I never worked under his supervision, we clicked together he took me under his wing ALWAYS giving the proper advice. He became my mentor from afar, a friend, and in many ways I looked to him for that fatherly advice.If and when I ever needed to know the correct way to approach some issues he was ALWAYS the 1st person I would call. I know his guidance and freindship have helped me personally and professionally to become a better person and professional. I will miss you Bubba.. Jill & I send our most sincere condolences to the family.

Walgreens Atlanta Family

April 28, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

In the journey through life there are people you meet that help guide you along the way. Mark Ashworth was one of those people to both Greg and me. As a District Manager for Walgreens in the Orlando area, Mr. Ashworth was not only our boss but also a mentor that influenced our lives in significant ways. Without Mr. Ashworth, our lives would not be what they are today and we thank him for the contribution he made to our lives. It is with great sorrow that we mourn the loss of Mr. Ashworth and we wish his family all the love and support during this difficult time.
