Cheryl Delite Ashley

Jamie and Jennifer,

I enjoyed the many years that I worked with your mother many years ago, and am said that she his gone. I knew her when she was a devoted mother -- and I can only imagine what a joy it must have been to have her as a grandma.

My condolences to you girls.

Dear Grandma,

I still remember when you picked me up with my mommy for the first time to take me home. You loved me like I was your own and treated me like a million bucks! Thank you for babysitting me when mommy and daddy were out of town and showering me with me with lots of love and hugs! You were always there for me when I was sick and needed extra attention and tender loving care. You never forgot to bring me treats and goodies and I will miss that a lot! I will never forget you, grandma! A big piece of my heart will always be missing, but I know you're here with me in spirit. I miss you so much and will love you forever!!!

Lots of Love from Your Pug,
Sophiebutt

My Dear Mema, you are a beautiful person inside and out. I loved when you sang to and with me. Our favorite songs, Patty cake and ABC's will never sound the same because you're not here to sing them with me. But, I'll always sing them together with you in spirit. I will miss our play and lunch dates, shopping sprees and when you would say, "a boo!" I'll never forget you Mema. I love you bunches and bunches!!!!
Love, Your Bubba Bear

Hello. Is this the party to whom I am speaking? One ringy dingy. I miss our multiple calls to each other everyday...talking about everything and sometimes nothing! I still talk to you mommy and always will.

Lots of love,

Dear Mommy,
Words can't begin to describe the pain I'm enduring of losing you, how much I love you and how much you will be missed. You were such a warm, nurturing and loving mother. You gave up everything for Damie and I which I'm forever grateful for. Thank you for all you've sacrificed for us, and I appreciate you so very much. You were such a smart and intelligent woman and I hope to be as successful as you were one day. You have always been my inspiration and I strive to be like you as I follow in your footsteps. I always wanted to make you proud of me and you constantly reassured me that you would always be no matter what. The loyalty you showed to your daughters and family is unsurpassed. Your ability to make people laugh with all of your funny stories and Mama Bear sayings will never be forgotten. You've taught me so many valuable lessons in life which have molded me into a good person, loving wife, mother and independent woman. You will always be my role-model and I hope to one day measure up to even half the person, mother, woman and cook you were. I promise to master that gravy one day, Mommy! I value all of our wonderful, special moments and conversations together. You were and will always be my best friend. Every time I think of you it makes my heart smile. You were the person I called through all of my trials and tribulations in life and your advice I will always cherish. Thank you for loving me, Joshy and that precious grandson of yours so much. There's not one day that will go by that I don't look at him and think of you and how much joy he brought to your life. I will forever treasure you and all of our memories together; holidays, birthdays, going to Macy's and our favorite restaurants will never be the same. Your presence will remain in my heart and soul always and forever. I love you more than any daughter could possibly love her mother. Bubba and Sophie Bear will never forget their extraordinary, generous and loving mema! My heart is broken, but hopefully one day it will smile again from all of our precious memories together. You are the angel of my life and I'll love you for heffer!!! Love, Jenny Bug

Mommy,

As a young girl I chuckled at your middle name because it is different and I didn't understand it. I now know why your dad chose Delite as your middle name. It perfectly describes the beautiful and loving woman you were. Your delite continues to touch our lives. I will miss the silly faces you always made, the funny things you said, and your ability to laugh at yourself. I am still learning to be better about that. Your girls were always first in your life. I had so much fun growing up, just us three girls! Every night was like a slumber party and I have numerous fond memories of us signing to the top of our lungs to our favorite songs. Thank you for teaching me how to dance. Thank you for teaching me to be my own person and for allowing me the freedom to express myself and learn from my experiences. No one cooks like you mama! I will miss all the yummy food filled with love that you took so much pleasure in making for us. Cooper and Bijou will forever miss you sending Sean and I home with all of the leftovers that they used to snack on! I will always remember your generosity and all the things you did to make us feel extra special! From the beautiful trips, to the first-class restaurants we dined at, and all of the goodies you spoiled your four kids with all of the time! Our trips home will never be the same without having mommy's home to come to. Keep smiling on us Hoochie Mama! Big Bear Hugs!

Your Loving Daughter,

Mama,
I will miss our morning chats, the mama-do-lists, the often humorous tech support questions you had for me. I will also miss your infectious smile, homemade meals, and fancy dinners you would treat us to! I will always appreciate all the wonderful things you did for us and with us. You showered us in love, including our dogs. I will always remember and love you. You are always in my thoughts!
Love your son,
Sean

Dear Jennifer and Jamie,

We are so saddened by the passing of your mother. Although we did not know her for a long time, Cheryl always impressed us as a loving person who treasured her family. She was a hard working lady who raised two wonderful daughters who made her very proud in the women you both became. We share your loss and hope your memories of your Mom will sustain you in the years to come.
Love,
Mom and Dad (Rochelle and Gary)

You'll always be my Texas Mama. Thank you for all the laughs, love and support. Thank you for welcoming me into your family and sharing so many memories with me.

You will be dearly missed . You were an amazing woman that raised two very successful and caring daughters. I will miss hearing you say "son-the-bone." I have fond memories of hanging out at your house when Jamie and I were in high school. You always treated me with such kindness and were very thoughtful in making sure I was comfortable when I'd sleep over. Jamie and Jennifer are very lucky to have such a caring and supportive mom. I always admired how you three were so close and like friends that enjoyed being together. Much love to you and may you rest in peace.

Jamie and Jennifer, my deepest condolences to you and your entire family. May your memories of your mom bring you warmth and comfort. Love you.

Jamie,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom passing, but so thankful for you that you were able to spend so much time with her at the end. I know your support was invaluable and that she couldn't have had better care. Your grace and strength as a person is a testiment to the mother she was and your committment to her speaks volumes about your relationship with her.

Jamie and Jennifer,

I can appreciate the special relationship you shared with your mom, especially that tone that you used just for Mom and sister talk. That says a lot about the love between mother and daughters. :) I'm sure you find comfort in knowing that she is still with you two, because she wouldn't have it any other way.

Dear Jamie: I just can't put into words the sorrow I feel for what you and your hubby, your sister, grandfather and family are going through. Just know that I, as well as I know many, are praying for you and your family and supporting you through this process.

They say that death leaves a heartache that no one can heal but love leaves a memory that no one can steal. In this way, your mom will always be with you. And you and your sister will continue to be her living legacy. May it bring you some comfort to know that those who love and care for you share your pain and will continue to surround you with comforting thoughts and prayers everyday.

Jamie and Jennifer, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Although I didn't know your mom, I know she must have been a great woman to have raised such great daughters.

Jamie and Jennifer our thoughts are with you. We hope that you find comfort in the love that you shared with your mom and all of the wonderful memories that you have made together.

Cheryl, We did not know you well but what we do know is that you have raised amazing, compassionate and dedicated daughters. They are a lasting testament to your spirit and love. May you rest in peace.

May you rest in peace. You will be truly missed but your love and light will shine thru Jamie and Jennifer. Always Mary Lynn Harris, Brenham Texas

Your amazing daughters are proof of a life well lived and the legacy that will live on.

Cheryl was a very sweet, kind gentle person. She taught me so much about insurance. I also loved talking to her about our dogs. We both had Cocker Spaniels that we both loved dearly. She will be missed by a lot of people. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family members.

Your presence will be missed...your lovely smile, your big heart. You dedicated your love and your life to your two beautiful daughters. Your memory will live on in our hearts forever. God bless.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
