    Every time I saw Ashley, I always thought she was such a sweet lovely young lady. So sad to loose her at such a young age.

      Charlotte thank you, yes she was so young and it has been so difficult accepting that she is no longer with us; but I get comfort knowing she is with the Lord.

    Dear Denise, Michael, and families… I am so very sorry for your loss of Ashley.

    Fortunately, death is only a temporary part of life. Jesus promised us a wonderful resurrection of the dead (John 5:28,29/1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14), so we have the hope of being reunited with our deceased loved ones. In the meantime, even though the pain of loss through death may sometimes seem insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure the coming months (Psalm 46:1).

    Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences…. John
