Ashley Biggs Obituary
She was handed into the arms of her mother as one of God's kindest and gentlest children, full of smiles and laughter, kindness and joy to everyone who knew her. "A smile that was as big as the world". She served in the U.S. Army as a 92F.
Ashley was preceded in death by grandfather, William J. Biggs, Sr. and uncle, William J. Biggs, Jr. She leaves behind, her mother, Kimberly Ann Biggs and Tim Grebenstein; her beautiful angel, Grace Aleana; loving fiancé, Brittany Dunson and her extended Dunson family; grandmother, Madeline Biggs; aunt, Susan (Michael) Jarret; uncle, Steven R. Biggs; and many loving family and friends including the extended LGBT community. For those who loved her, the list is long, but the joy of Ashley will never be forgotten. "She was our angel and will always be in our hearts."
Service will be held 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Billow FAIRLAWN Chapel, 85 N. Miller Rd., with Pastor Myron Lindsey officiating. Interment at Hillside Memorial Park. Friends may call at the funeral home two hours before the service.

Ashley I will always remember you, you are such an amazing person and always made me laugh. We lost touch for a few years and I wish we would have been able to spend sometime together.
I know your up there somewhere looking down on all of us, and sometimes when some of our songs come on it makes me cry. But I know your safe and your watching over Britt and Grace.
I will miss you Ashley very much !!!
All my love to you and your family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Ashley,
We all love and miss you very much. I'm sad you're not here with us anymore but so very happy you have peace. Don't worry about Gracie or Brittany; everyone who loves you loves them just as much. They will never want or need for anything. Rest your weary soul and save a place for me in paradise.
Love,

Ashley, Grace,and Britt,
I recently met Grace and Britt at a graduation party and I live near the scene of the tragedy. I just wanted to condone to your survivors that they are not alone in this and we will all try to be there one way or another for your darling beautiful daughter Grace. She will need all of the support she can get and especially as she grows into a young woman and has many questions. I have been helping take care of your Aunt Judy and David Scott and they have shared so many warm and funny things about you and I hope that we do you justice in the days to come and once again your daughter is one of the most beautiful young ladies I have ever met and she will have an outpouring of love to see her through this. I would like to end this by saying THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR COUNTRY SO PROUDLY AND KEEPING ALL OF US SAFE!
My deepest sympathies,
Patty Cross
