I am sorry to say that we did not know Ashley personally. My family & I are members of Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church where we are in Sunday School with John & Kim Cloer. We have been praying for Ashley constantly. We are so sorry for your loss. I pray that God will comfort you in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.

Ashley was such an amazing girl and will always hold a special part in my heart. She was so full of life and the most courageous girl I knew. Her family was so special to her and she made a great mommy. She had the type of smile that would cure everybody's bad day. I will always remember the fun little games me and ashley played while working at the good old galley. I learned so much about living life from her because she always lived hers to the fullest. I am praying for all of the family and friends that she has left behind. Just remember her smiling face and beatiful voice is singing down to us at this very moment:) I love you Ashley.

Kay,several years ago I walked into the Galley one night to start work. I introduced myself and two of the cutest "kids" came running at me! IT'S AMBER'S MOMMA!!! Then I remember the twins Am went to Harmony with. lol Those "kids" became two of my best, dearest friends. The Lord took Brandon way too soon. A part of our little Ashley went with him. Now For some reason he needs Ashley. I don't pretend to understand why. I just Thank him for the  time I got to spend with her, in this life. When I came home this year for my birthday I had a special treat.I got to spend part of it with her. It will always be very very special to me.
Kay, Brian,you and the family,all have my have my love, prayers,and sympathy.
May god hold your hand and lead you through your grief.

We send our deepest sympathy to your family.  Our son Jeffrey worked with Ashley & Brian both at Captain's Galley and had spent time with them outside of work and thought the world of both of them.  Even though he is away attending college in Ohio, Jeffrey was saddened by your loss.  He said "The Galley just won't be the same"  Keeping your family & thought & prayer.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Ashley's death. Many years ago I had the opportunity to substitute teach for Ashley at NIHS when she was a freshman. Shortly after this I was in Captain's Galley and Ashley was my waitress. Ashley would often sit with me when I was in the restaurant since I was by myself. Ashley told me she laughed so hard while I was her substitute that she almost got in trouble in another class. Ashley was so sweet and pretty. She brightened my day when I used to see her at Captain's. I know Ashley was broken hearted after the loss of her twin, Brandon. I lost contact with Ashley after Brandon's death and after Ashley's marriage. I would always ask about Ashley on my few occasions in Captain's. I'm glad Ashley was able to leave a legacy of a son and a daughter. Ashley will never be forgotten and I will never forget her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time.
