Ashley C. Ritz

I have known Ashley since kindergarten.She was my first real best friend. She was my best friend until middle school, then we grew apart, but we were still friends. During sophomore year she gave me a ride to school after i had gotten into a fight with my mom and sister. She saw me walking to school and pulled to pick me up. I was really down and she managed to make me laugh. I will always appreciate that. She was the person who made not afraid to do something crazy, like jump 5 feet off a...

Dear Donna, Lauren, and family,
Joe and I are so incredibly sorry to learn of your loss. We remember Ashley as the little sweet blonde girl at the running events. There cannot be a greater heart break and we pray for strength for all of you.
With deepest sympathy,

I used to think I was such a good writer, yet I can think of no words to do justice to the way I now and forever will feel about Ashley. Very few people are blessed to know a person so special in their lifetime. People say not to dwell on the past, to move on, but its a lot easier said than done.

To the Ritz Family.
My family lives 2 blocks down in Brantwood. My daughter Shawna Arnholt went to school with Ashley.
Shawna always had such nice things to say about Ashley. I always saw Donna walking the neighborhood.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. May God take care of you all in the time of need.
God Bless The Voigt & Arnholt Family..

Ashley and I had a lot of fun times together, and I will always remember how she never let anything get her down. She was somebody that anybody could talk to at anytime wether it was joking around or on a serious level. I will miss her dearly.

In this time of saddness we have to remember, Ashley's body is gone, but a body dose not make a person. Ashley's soul, as long as you let it live in your heart and mind she will never be gone.Let us also remember even if her life was short and her death unexpected she lived every day as if it was made for her and her alone. And may we all take that lesson and always bring her with us on our adventures. I hope that her family and friends can find comfort in the arm of the one's they love and...

To the Ritz family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of tragic loss. May God bless you and keep you n His care.
