Steve and Debbie,
I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Ashley. My heart goes out to you for your precious loss. I too, know the unbearable pain of losing a child. It is one of the most devastating experience's a parent can face. It leaves you with so many overwhelming emotions! Suddenly your lives have changed forever! But, remembering all the wonderful moments you shared with Ashley can help to comfort you thru the difficult times. And most of all, may the God of Love, sustain you with His promise of HOPE for the future. When He will soon end all suffering on the earth. How do we know this is not just a dream? Because what HE says always comes to BE.
"HE will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the ONE seated on the throne said; "Look! I am making all things NEW....these words are faithful and TRUE."

I only knew Ashley a brief time. She cut my hair for a year or two. I adored her and always enjoyed listening to stories about whatever was going on with her at the time. Her upbeat mood lifted the mood of all around her. She was larger than life. She will be missed greatly. My deepest sympathy to her entire family in this great loss.

Our family has been shocked and saddened by the loss of Ashley. Our daughter, Audra is still proud to be driving the cool, green Honda. Audra and Ashley would run into each other from time to time and Audra enjoyed talking with her. I realize that our paths briefly crossed; but we do feel a special connection to your family.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Ashley’s family, especially her mother, Debbie, who was a good friend of mine from school. Along with everyone else, I was devastated to hear the news about your daughter. While I didn’t know Ashley, after reading all the wonderful comments in this guestbook, it’s obvious she was such a sweet, thoughtful, lively, beautiful young woman. Debbie, I can’t begin to imagine what you are going through. I know you have a loving family to support you. And while none of us can heal your pain, I hope you can draw strength from all the love that is pouring out for you and your beautiful daughter. It is obvious no one will ever forget her and that she will forever live in the hearts of all the people whose lives she touched. And in that, she is eternal! I think about you and your family all the time and send you my love. Please know that you are in my prayers every day. “The angels are always near to those who are grieving , to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.” - Eileen Elias Freeman

Ashley was only in my life for a few min. in her beautiful life. When I think of Ashley my first thought of her, is her coming into my house with flip-flops on in the snow. Ashley’s smile could light up a room. I will miss hearing her laughter. To Ashley I was known as Auntie, to her friends and family you will be in my thoughts and prayers for the days to come.

So sorry for your loss! We don't understand why God allows such tragedy but we just don't see the bigger picture. As a mother of a daughter who goes to the James freguently and wherever else I probably don't want to know about, my heart is just broken for all of you who knew and loved Ashley. Deb, we just didn't know when we growing up that life could be so hard. I've always loved your family. Let me know what I can do for you amd I really mean that. Cook, clean, run errands or just let you cry. I have to remind myself all the time with grown kids that God is still in control even if I can't be. Love you! She is beautiful just like you! All my love and prayers, Susan Moon Couch

Steve and Debbie, I'm so sorry for your loss. You both were wonderful parents to her and i feel so honored to have gotten to spend so much time with your family. We had gone to beauty school together, she always was such an adventurous and infectiously happy person. I will hold the times i got to spend with ashley and the rest of your family close to my heart. The times you took us out to williamsburg and took us shopping. I wish we could rewind and go back to those moments when we were all young and happy. Ashley was always there for her friends, even when she didnt receive the same from them. She will be greatly missed, but she is now in peace. Please take care of yourselves, my thoughts and prayers are with you through these times.
