My deepest condolences on the loss of Ashleigh. I am a customer of the Old Towne Liquor store and stopped in today. When I walked in I asked where Ashleigh was and was completely taken back by the response I was given. My heart goes out to the family and all of her friends. My brief conversations with her over the years have always been ones full of energy, laughs and smiles!

Peace & Love,

Richard

I would like to say to Ashleigh's family how sorry I truly am. I would like all of you to know just how much your daughter meant to me. She worked at turnpike market in Billerica. No matter how bad I was feeling, or what was going on in my life, she had a way of making all that go away. Her smile and her demeanor towards me was something I'll never forget. She was such a warm, caring person. She would always say little kind things to make me blush and make me feel good about me. That in itself for anyone out there is a gift in itself. I'll never forget the way you made me feel Ashleigh. You were an angel here on earth. Now you will be God's Angel. I just realized all along were mine. Whenever I get down. I have you, and what you taught me. I'll always remember your beautiful smile, and how selfless you were to me. I question so much after I heard about your accident. The one thing I don't question is how you truly you had a gift of making someone feel good about themselves. That is the greatest gift anyone could ever possess. Besides knowing you! I know I'm rambling. I just can't help it. I Love You Ashleigh. If you are, were I believe you deserve to be. I hope I'll see that beautiful smile again. Love Always Your Friend.

Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of Ashleigh.

Although I did not know her or her family, I am deeply sympathetic to your family's grief, since I experienced the loss of my brother under similar circumstances many years ago, and I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone during this very difficult time.

Remembering Ashleigh...

If I should die and leave you here a while,
be not like others sore undone,
who keep long vigil by the silent dust.

For my sake turn again to life and smile,
nerving thy heart and trembling hand
to do something to comfort other hearts than thine.

Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine
and I perchance may therein comfort you.

I am just a customer of Old Town Liquors and I got to know Ashleigh over a period of about a year. I was always so happy to see her smiling face and welcoming attitude. She was an absolute doll! I cannot say how much she was a friendly warm and sweet woman! She always had that big beautiful smile with those beautiful big eyes! We always exchanged small talk but I always enjoyed our conversations. Ashleigh was one of the most sweet and kind and friendly woman I have ever known. I am so so sad and devastated at the loss of her. To her parents - I am so so sorry to you. Know that your daughter was loved SO MUCH by so many! She touched so many hearts and sometimes we just don't know how many until it is before us. God bless you Mr & Mrs Snelson, I am beyond sorry for the loss of your daughter. She was an angel her on earth and now is in heaven

Heartfelt prayers and thoughts from the Dunn family for the Snelson family at this time of terrible loss. Ashleigh was a joyful part of our family life in those early High School years/LaCascia's days when she and Kathryn hung out. She is remembered for her quick laughter, friendly way with everyone, her love of all things Disney and all things "Dance". Members of our extended family extend their prayers and thoughts as well. As Ashleigh joined our family for many gatherings through the years. Blessed journey sweet Ashleigh. Christine Lyons Dunn
