Ashley James

I had the honor of meeting Ashley when Bev brought her to my studio to "jam" on my electric drums with me and her husband, Darrell. We had a great time and I was inspired by her joy and peaceful manner. She had a great sense of humor. I always thought I would see her and Darrell again......

This is beyond sad. I just met Ashley at Abbott Northwestern Hospital as I am a chaplain here and was on the team that was caring for her beloved Darrell. My jaw dropped when I learned of this. Indeed Ashley was one of the kindest, gentlest souls I've met in a long time, and was so heartbroken over losing Darrell. We quietly reflected on his amazing life. You just can't make this up. Prayers and comfort for all who love this couple.

She was one of the kindest souls I have ever come across. I´m certain she was also the smartest person in the room wherever she went. I feel truly lucky to have met and interacted with her in my lifetime.
