Wanda, I just saw this notice of Ashley's passing. I am so sorry. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. It is unthinkable. Leon and Adam, I too have lost siblings, so I do know something about that loss. I didn't know Ashley well, but the few times I met him, I walked away thinking that he was such a nice person. I know he struggled with weight issues and that was hard for him. Hold each other close and don't take a single day for granted. Cherish each other. Family is the greatest gift there is.

Hey Brother, I just learned of your passing today... I certainly enjoyed watching over the barbeque grill with you during the "Man-Up" Christian retreats at Camp Anderson. You were a great friend and a God Loving Christian servant, and I pray you are rejoicing with Jesus.
G0 rest High on that Mountain, we got your watch now.
