Thought it's been years I still think about you daily Ashley. Thinking of all I would do to go back and change the way things were. After so many years of friendship, why couldn't I see? I have been going through some pretty rough things as of late and you come to mind more and more. How I wish you were here.

We were so saddened by your loss and our hearts go out to you. I know words dont mean much right now but time heals all and God will watch over you and somehow get you through this. Just cherish the memories you have of Ashley. Taylor take care of yourself and remember no matter where Ashley is she will watch over you. Thats what sisters do no matter where or when. Just remember the goodtimes you had with her and somehow make sense out of this tragedy. God Bless you both

Ashley was one of the first friends I met when I moved to Virginia from NJ; She lived nearby and we soon became friends. We celebrated our birthdays together since they were a day apart in December. We lost touch when she moved to Powhatan. As everyone knows, she will be missed.
My thoughts are with you all.

I worked with Ashley at Powhatan Family Physicians. She was such a wonderful person. She had fun with her work and always had us laughing. She was always talking about Jonathan, her fiance. She loved him so much. I am thankful that she found true love in such a short life. She was loved and will be greatly missed. She is in a better place now, she will never hurt again. Now she is a beautiful angel and will watch over everyone who loved her so much. She will always be with us. May God Bless her family and friends in their time of loss.
