Tracy, having lost a daughter myself, I know how difficult some dates can be. I just want you to know I am thinking of you and praying for the comfort that only Christ can bring. It does get easier with time. We will never forget our beautiful girls and the love we have for them never ends.

I remember Ashley as a gentle, studious little girl in my second-grade classroom at Barrett. She was kind and hard-working. She took delight in her friends and came to school with a sweet smile every day. The world is a poorer place without her.

I've known Ashley since she has joined our J&K Family at work. I have worked with her on many occasions, with Friday September 22 being the last time. I still am at a loss for words. I had the pleasure of having many conversations with her and meeting her babies whom she worked so hard for! To know Ashley was a blessing! I will continue to lift the kids, family friends and all lives Ashley has touched in prayer. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!

I am one of her children's teachers. Ashley ALWAYS put her children first. The love she had for them was obvious. She was an amazing mom. She will be missed. May she continue to look down on and guard her precious babies. Rest In Peace, Ashley.
