Ashley, I am so sorry that it took me so long to send you light and love in your afterlife. When I think about the many memories we shared, it brings a lot of joy to my heart. Just a bunch of teenagers having fun during class and on weekends, laughing at everything and nothing, and unknowingly making memoires we'd never forget. My favorite memory of you and our friend group was when we all went to get piercings that one night, lol. Our poor parents, ha! I'm sorry that as adults we got busy in our day to day and lost touch. I wish I could laugh with you one more time. I'm not sure what else to say. I wish you and your family love and I hope that I get to see you again. I'm glad you know peace, and miss you dearly. <3 Oh, my second favorite memory is when you, A, S, & I were hanging out at your parents house one summer afternoon and a big stuffed bear scared the living daylights out of me and I screamed, lol. You always had a good sense of humor and a good heart and a light about you. The world misses that. <3
