Today is the four years sense you’re passing Ashley
Not a moment goes by that Mother dose not think of you.
My Life is so turned upside down and a part of my heart is broken and will never be the same because you was taking away from me at an early age of 21 from Drunk drivers.
Baby I sit and think always what it would be like right this very second if you were here with me.
I so remember our last talk on the phone. Our Last Hug together. Our Last dinner together. our last everything together.
Life is not fair, I have come to realize things happen for a reason and I have to accept the fact that My Baby Girl is in Heaven looking down and guiding me through whatever life brings my way. Four years. Wow it only seemed like yesterday that the door bell ring at 5:30 a.m. a Santa Rosa county sheriff at the door to tell me My Beautiful Daughter was gone.
I so remember the screams I let out and yelling NO NO NOT MY BABY.
Ashley from the moment you were born on Oct 8th,1985 I knew you were the most beautiful angel ever.
And when you were taken away Feb 16, 2007 from two Drunk drivers I only knew you were going to be the most beautiful angel ever in heaven looking down on me.
My Life is not and will never be the same without you here but with you in heaven and my little bright eye blue princess angel I know things will work out because I have God and you to guide me through.
Keep smiling and remember I Love You so Much and Miss you so every much.
Hugs and Kisses and more kiss in heaven my baby Girl
Love Mommie

Happy Valentines Day to My Beautiful Daughter Ashley M Crane 1985-2007

I remember my call to Ashley on valentines Day 2007...I said Baby who is your Valentine for today.
She laughed as always she did, and said don't worry Mommy I have a Valentine it's YOU
I Love You Mommy.
Those were the last word's I herd her ever say again.
Ashley Baby I miss you so much. Not a Day goes by that I don’t always say I Love You and Miss You.
This is Valentines Day Feb 14th 2011
I want you to know that I Love You so much and that I know God took you at your early age of 21 years because he needed the most beautiful angel .YOU!
Today is not an easy day actually no day is easy any more. Sense the day you were taken from me. But I do remember all the fun times and happy and even the sad times we had together and know one day I will see you again with your awesome beautiful smile and face.
I Love You Pumpkin (This is the name I used to always call Ashley)
Happy Valentines Day 2011
Love Your Mommy

Message from Jennifer Hollar ,
Hi Nellie, it has been years since I have written to you and for some reason I felt the need to write to you today. I have tried to find you on facebook and had no luck. Well perhaps I should tell you who I am in case you have forgotten; I was a good friend of Ashely's in CT. You and I spoke on the phone and via email a few times... well i just wanted to tell you that ashley is with me everyday in spirit as I am sure she is with you. I would love to hear from you to know how you and your family are doing; there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. It took me a while to realize how much of an impact your daughter has on my life each and every moment, and for that I am forever grateful, Yours Truly, Jennifer Hollar

This hasn't been a great year and loosing you for no reason.Well like the lil rock you carried around in a pink bag says"Things happen for a reason...Only Belive"And Ash i have come to belive.
I have tried to forgive the people who did this thing to you.I have really tried and am still trying.But its hard.
They took my Angel from me.
I know you are a awsome Angel and you are up there with my dad your Grandpa and your Grandma Ruby looking down and protecting us.
Baby we are trying our best to surrive.Kim is doing a lil better she can't talk about it much.
She misses you so much.Thats why she can't get on here and write.Maybe in Due time she will be able to send you a message.
Just keep us all safe and protect us.
I will always keep you alive and never forget you ever.

Terry Hare

March 10, 2007

To Ashley:

I don't even know where to begin to thank you for everything you did for my family during the few short years you were in our lives. Thanks for taking care of my nieces Raven and Ryane, being a great friend and companion to my nephew Ross, and helping my sister Peggy in her times of need. I remember the time that you, Raven and Ryane renovated Peggy's room. You took that job on yourself, spent your own money and completely did a makeover to her room. Lord knows that was a big job and you and the girls were so proud to show it to everyone. That's just one of the many wonderful things you did while you were here with us. Now that you have left this world and moved on to the next, I'm sure you are still doing all the kind things you so often did for everyone.

Again, thank you for everything you did for my family and I want you and your family to know that we will never forget you.

Say hi to Granny up in heaven and you guys save us a spot up there.

Love, Terry

Nellie & Daniel:

You have so much to be proud of with Ashley. Thank you for sharing her with us. The memorial service was wonderful. Try to find comfort in knowing that we all are grieving with you and thinking of you always. Call me if you need anything or just need someone to talk to.

With much love and sorrow,

Betty Norris

March 9, 2007

My dearest little Ashley, How proud you must be of your sister Kim, your cousin, and Ross for the wonderful and hearfelt memories they shared with us all at your memorial today --- but I don't think that any of them could have touched the hearts of all those who attended any more than your Mom! As I sat there with my heart aching for them all I was truly touched and blessed to feel all the love that I saw emminating from your Mom for you. She has been so strong and brave for everyone around her through the last three weeks since you left, and now I pray for her to have the strength and courage to carry on without you being here everyday! I saw today in her where you got all those wonderful attributes that we have all shared--her desire to love and be loved, her need to be there for all of us through what has to be the most painful and sorrowful time of her life, and especially her desire to have all those around her be happy---what a great Mom she must have been to you, Kim, and Raymond! Watch over her from Heaven and please ease her heart Little One, and let her know that you are Truly Resting and Happy! We will always remember!! Love, Betty Norris and Family

I made an earlier entry but for some reason it didn't get added so I'm doing this again. I didn't know Ashley, but her mom always spoke so highly of her that I know she was a wonderful woman. Her family will miss her, but they are comforted to know that they will join her someday.

Ashley was so full of life and enthusiasm and courage, she helped all the rest of us understand the true meaning of hope. She was grateful for the small things, always cheerful, always wanting to lend a helpful hand, always looking forward to her bright future. Even when she was afraid she would face her challenges with zest. She made her way into our hearts and souls and will always be there. I know she would be saying to all of us to keep our chins and courage up, and to love each other all the more fiercely. I thank the Lord for sharing her with us for the time we had. My heart goes out to everyone who will miss Ashley so much.

Ashley was a laugh, a smile, and a hug. Although she will be deeply missed, I take comfort in knowing she is in place where she can continue to do all three forever.

Ashley and I were roomates in Tallahassee for almost a year. During that time I watched a small town girl from Pace Florida follow her heart. She was full of life, energy, and compassion for others. I'll always remember our late night cravings for Big Macs and thank God for a 24 hr McDonalds! I hope she found what she was searching for and can rest in peace. I'm blessed to have been a part of her journey and I offer her family and friends my deepest sympathies.

I'm not really good when it comes to things like this, and in the back of my mind I'm still hoping that this is one big prank. I don't know how to express grievances for someone with whom I've had nothing but wonderful times and memories. Ashley, when I was unable to make it home for Christmas, you helped make that Christmas my greatest one away from home. I only hope that I gave you half the wonderful feelings that you had given me. My heart goes out to all friends and family

Ashley,
I never got the honor of meeting you but I know you were an amazing person inside and out. It's evident you were a beautiful, talented, successful, loving, caring woman. And I wish so much I could have gotten to know you. I know we would of been the best of friends and had fun :] I love your family very much. I know you are in a better place looking down on your mother and everyone. I pray for them everynight. Even though I have never met you, I want you to know that I do love you. And one day we will finally meet in that amazing place you are in now <3
