My name is Melissa Murray. I went to school with Aislin. We were friends. I moved to Florida back in 1992. I've tried to keep in touch over the years but it's been hard. I just heard that Aislin was found and I know she is at peace now. My heart and prayers go out to her family and friends.

Dear Doreen,
I seldom read newspapers & rarely watch tv news either, so I was shocked to hear about Aislin. My deepest sympathies to you & your family. I remember holding her and her picture looks so much like you when younger. Love, Pat

Aislin has remaind in my thoughts and prayers over these years, that she finally find some peace. My family and I will remember the time we spent with her. A young life, with so much beauty and promise cut so tragically short. I pray she is fully at peace, now.
