My deepest sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Ashley. I didn't know her, but I know that her dad loved her very much. She went through a terrible car crash, and we prayed until she was doing well. Now this sad news... She is in God's heavenly circle of love now, and her spirit can live on in all of us.
