HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY our ANGEL!!!! Lord knows that I wish you were here to celebrate this day. In my heart I KNOW that you are here in spirit!!!

You cherished your adorable son. He is a splitting image of you now. So much of you is in him; his beautiful big smile, the way his expresses himself....it's all YOU! So many of us are grateful that he is here, for he is a bright ray of sunshine. He is an extension of you and he reminds us that we must stay strong. He's the strongest of us all, you would be so proud of him!!!

I love you & miss you more than words can say!!! Happy, Happy Mother's Day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my Dear Friend!!!!!
Today is Your day and it is still setting in that you are not here. We used to have week long celebrations for our birthdays; I would do anything to relive those times. People say things will get easier as times goes by but I must say I just don't believe that. Everyday something occurs that makes me think of you. Everyday I miss hearing your voice. Everyday I long to hear just one word from you. It never happens. And the days seem longer and longer, scarier, darker, and very lonely. Yes, I know that you are watching many of us. I thank you Dear Friend. I pray every day that you are in eternal peace.......it has been hell without you. Love you SO MUCH!!!! Happy Birthday Baby Girl*

Although I never had the opportunity to meet you, I know you must have been such a special person. I know one of your friends, Kennetra. She speaks so highly of you & misses you everyday. You remain one of the major pieces of her heart and always will. After reading some of the entries here from people who knew and love you, it is obvious that you were truly a gift that touched many.

This passed year has been a journey, one that has brought your family and friends closer and in agreement that we all have one commonality; We Love and Miss our “Ashley”!

It was certainly an honor and privilege for me to have had you in my life. I sincerely appreciate, and most grateful for the loyalty and confidence you had with Jr and myself in entrusting so much with us.

I thank you for the opportunity of being apart of Sterlin’s life from the very beginning. You would be so proud of him, and girl his basketball skills --- LeBron James better watch out! I thank you for your role in Chloe’s life in always encouraging her to excel beyond her potentials, and the wisdom you bestowed in her when an issue aroused that was beyond my level of thoughts. Most importantly, Ashley I thank you for always being you. Never allowing anything or anybody to interrupt your dreams and/or goals. You surpassed the expectations of so many who said you wouldn’t and shined like the star I always knew you were.

Your legacy will forever live in our hearts,

Jr, Ping, and Chloe

Ashley your beautiful smile is missed.One thing I remember Ashley saying is my bday is in a week and party is in the Big "M"(Marshall) so I'm sure Ashley and Dear is having a good time. To my extended family my prayer is that the Lord continues to give you strength.

Rest in Peace my oldest niece Love Aunt Donna

Donna Nix

Ashley T as Dear would say, you have been gone now a year and 2 days and I still can't believe it. I miss you so much and the girls do too. They talk about you all the time (especially when they see Sterlin)I think one of the most funny memories we had together is when you were trying to teach your 'Aunt Donna" at her 41st birthday to do the Michael J shuffle and you kept saying " Aunt Donna, just move your hips" I will always Love you and Sterlin will always be my son I never had.

It is offically a year and you have done a great job helping those other angels look after me. U grew up with me so u kno me better than some of the other angels and I want to Thank U...I notice myself changing everyday and some decisions I want to make I find myself stepping away from; knowing a fews years ago I would've had that I dont give a u know about it. I know its u doing wut u do best! I want to cry but I can only smile and look at you. I kno u saying something silly and sometimes I can feel the pain from ur pinch when I call out to you as Fluffy..lol..but u know that has being your name for years so stop pinching me! LOL Anyway this is not from sorrow, hurt or anger of your departure this is just one of our heart to heart convos that we have and I always hear your response. I LOVE U AND I MISS U!!!!

People come into our lives for a reason or for a season. We had Ashley for only a season, but it was a very good season. She was such a kind, sincere and loving young lady. Our hearts are broken...but God is able! My deepest sympathy to Ashley's son, mother and entire family. My prayer is that God will bless each of you, Ashley's family and friends with a peace that surpasses all understanding. She was indeed special!

Johnathan Hudson

September 15, 2009

Ashley,
Words can't really express how I feel. You were truely one of the sweetest people I've ever met. It was a blessing from God to have known you. You will always be remembered for your beautiful smile and your uplifting words. I will always love you!!! It's good to know that I have an Angel watching over me.

To the family,
God was in need of an Angel, so he sent for Ashley. Rest assure that she is in a better place smiling down on us. Sterlin know that your mom loved you with all that she was. When times get hard just remember that she is in our hearts. You'll forever be in my prayers.

We miss you!!!!

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of your smile, your laughter, your painful pinches, YOU; forever in my heart. Life will never be the same. I'm having a hard time accepting that at the moment, but I'll get there. I can hear your voice, "Keep ya head up Boo." My head is up while the tears continue to fall. I cry tears of so much joy. I'm so very fortunate that God shared you with me. Until we meet again........I love you!

June 18, 2009

ASHLLEEYYYY!!!
What a day, what a day…
We’re having some long days and nites without you. Constantly praying for peace and understanding with all the craziness that's surrounding the family. Words can not express how much we’re missing you, and knowing if you were here so much would be so different. In our hearts, the faith we have in the Almighty God, there has to be a MASTER plan of some sort. The question, exactly what? Nevertheless, we will continue to seek God for guidance. The Christ within our family circle will supply comfort in knowing what's meant for bad, God will turn it around for good. Until then, we will continue to trust, believe and rest in knowing, what’s meant to be, will be!!!
Your Family

We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, and the day before that too.
We think of you in silence, and often say your name.
But all we have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts.
We shed tears for what might have been, a million times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God took you home.

Love your 2nd Family
Kennetra, Scooby, Jennifer and Kenneth Thymes

Hey Crazy Girl,
Man this seems like a bad dream..the thought you gone at the tender age of 25..whoa that blows my mind. I often reflect on the time when were growing up in Trinity Garden..when Dear was alive. I remember when our Daddies both bought us them big fluffy dresses for easter and we took pictures in front of my Granny's house!! I know you might get mad but I'm gonna post them.lol!! Dang, I'm saying all of this to say, that I really miss you alot!!!! I talk to your Mama yesterday.. boy you are definately Nette and Darryl's child. I see so much of you in both of them!!! And once again Mr. Sterlin looks just like you no matter how much you say that he is all Tank!!!

I love Babe!!!!!!!

January 31, 2009

FROM THE FAMILY:
Our sincere gratitude to each and everyone of you who have expressed your sympathy in our time of lost. Our hearts are flooded with warmth with the overwhelming support of love we have received, and continue to receive.

Ashley was a true jewel within our family. As many of you shared, she was the life of the party…for that we can relate, because our family gatherings weren’t complete without her presences, and we miss her so much!

To date, Superbowl XLIII kickoff’s tomorrow…she would be gearing up for the family gathering. Although, physically she will not be with us, her loud laughs will ring amongst our ears. And if any of you have witnessed the laughs, you were definitely a victim of the pinch and/or punch, (depending, you might get a combination) that followed!

Sadly, we were robbed of Ashley's life. A pain so sharp, one the tends to lurk our hearts daily with the reminder of her absence. But, God is able, and with His grace and mercy, we will survive her untimely, senseless death. Her memories will live in our hearts forever. We stand strong today for the sake of her son, Sterlin' ... the love of her life, the one somebody who brought joy to her life...her inspiration! In spite of, VICTORY is ours! Ashley's memories, we hold dear in our hearts, for death cannot, will not, rob us!

Again, thank you and please continue to pray for our strength!

Aunt Kaye, Aunt Jackie, Aunt Debora, Aunt Dawn and Donna, Lewis (Jr), Ping and Chloe. Most importantly, her mother and father, Annette Reed-Tillis, Daryl Tillis and her son, Sterlin. Her best friend, her sister Kennetra Thymes.

With each day that passes I pray that this is a dream and you will call. However,with each day that passes, I am struck with the reality that it won't happen.. Ash, we go all the way back to Lamar U.. LU as you used to love to shout when you'd see me in the halls of Houston 1. We knew eachother well at LU. But we formed a tight bond at the parole office, houston 1. I will miss your laughter and your kind heart.

Rest in Peace

My heart goes out to Ashley's family...a void that can never be filled or replace! I've known Ashley since middle school and even attended Lamar University with her. The best memory I have of her is how she stayed on top of me and Tamika (her old roomate) about going to class and studying...we never won an argument on that subject! SMILE

Ashley & Kennetra on New Year's Eve 07

Kennetra Thymes

October 19, 2008

I'm having a difficult time grasping the fact that I will never receive a phone call, a hug, or words of encouragement from someone so special to me, ever again. I'm trying hard to pick up the pieces but I truly do not know what I'm going to do without my best friend. Ms. Ashley Tillis is one of a kind. No one's smile is brighter than my best friend's smile. No one's heart is more golden than my best friend's heart. No one's comfort through rough times is more sincere than my best friend's comfort. I'm trying my very best to see the light at the end of this dark, long tunnel. More than anything I pray that when I reach the end of that tunnel, my friend, my ace, my sister will be there and I can see her again. May you rest in peace. No more struggles and no more pain baby girl!

Love You Always,

KRYSTAL REED

Ashley and I met while we were in college--(Lamar Univ). I always thought of Ashley as strong and well rounded female.

The Tillis family has my condolences.

Miss Ashley,
I am still in shock and trying my best to grasp the fact that I will no longer see you driving down Lumber Lane. Or even hear your loud mouth or laugh. You are definately Darryl Tillis's daughter..lol!! Girl I'm going to miss you so so much!!! You look so pretty at your funeral services and the people poured in Mt. Pilgrim by the
dozens.Like your Pastor said all those people weren't there because you died but because you lived. A beautiful homegoing fit for the Diva you were and will always be!! 25 years of beauty and now you are an angel!!! Take your rest Babe and please tell my Mama and my son hello!!! I will meet you all at the gate when my journey here on earth is over. I love you so much!!!

Keithon Reed

October 14, 2008

Ashley
Baby girl, I thank GOD for the time that he did give me with you. He did not just give me a cousin, but HE also gave me a little sister. I knew that whenever something was going wrong in my life, I could just call you and everything would be alright. It did my heart good to know that when you had a problem, you call on me. Baby, to know you is to know joy and love, and having you in my life has given me enough love and joy to share with the world
To the rest of the family, realize that Ashley accomplished things early in her life. She developed her skill for poetry early, she graduated from high school and college early, and now she is gone on to heaven early. GOD must have been doing some gardening and realized HE was one flower short, so He plucked this beautiful flower from earth to place in HIS heavenly garden.
I love you Ashley more than words can ever say. I am going to miss your big beautiful smile, but whenever I want to see it again, all I have to do is watch Sterling smile. Don't worry about Sterling, I will help to make sure that he is well taken of. Once again, Your cousin/big brother loves you dearly.

Ronnie and Marion White

October 13, 2008

It saddens me that yet another beautiful person has fallen in such a tragic way, but it enlightens me to know that Ashley will be in a far better place. She had the kind of personality that set her out from most, no matter who you were, you could be friends with Ashley. She will be greatly missed, my condolences go out to her entire family but most importantly to Sterling.

To The Tillis Family:
May God be with you in this time of need, but be glad and rejoice, Ashley would've wanted it that way.

TO Ashley:
On this day I will look at the sky and smile, just appreciating the time we were able to spend together. Your a friend that I thought I would have forever. And eventhough your no longer with us physically, I know your in my heart eternally. And everytime I look into Sterling's eyes im just looking at you.
Watch over me girl!
Love Ya dawg~
