Still think of you everyday.

Well, where do I start? It has been a year and I have thought of you every day for 365 days and will continue to think about you every day. Everything around me reminds me of you because you were a very special person in my life ... my best friend. I don't want there to ever come a day when I don't think of you because I always want to remember the good times we had and the happiness you brought to so many people. I believe there are angels among us and you are one of them. I miss you and I always will.



Your friend forever and always,

Shea

Ashlei I am back to my old tricks, taking that trip to Mooresville (now Huntsville) like we did (you, your mom, your Aunt Faye, and I). Please have some of your angels friends (I am sure you have many) to send out some extra prayers so that hopefully, I will be successful this time. I think of you often, but definitely each time I take the trip. I miss you crazy laugh, silly jokes, and your beautiful smile that would make the trip not seem so long. I know that you are no longer with me in body; but you will always be alive in my heart. I will never forget you. You were a very special person to me.

To the Family of Ashlei,

I had the priviledge of knowing Ashlei. She was truly a unique person. I can only imagine even after several months the pain that you sense and feel. You are in my heart and prayers. Just remember...."The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble: and He knows those who trust in Him." Nahum 1:7 May those words comfort you in this time of difficulty. God Bless You!



Sincerely, Anonymous

As today was to be your and Mike's wedding day, we send you our love in spirit. We thank you, Ashlei, for sharing a part of your life with Mike and loving him for your truly loves you. We were also blessed to have you in our lives, and you will always have a special place in our hearts as our sister-to-be.

Mike, Darlene, Dee, Stephen, Lynn, Ryan & Victoria - I know the holidays have been rough for you all. I have thought of you often and wished that I could take away your pain. I miss Ashlei, and I know you all do, too. She brought such joy and love to all that knew her, we need to pass that joy and love on to everyone around us. I know she is looking down on us all, watching over us and would not want us to be sad. We need to rejoice for the time we had with her and try to remember she is in a better place now.



I hope the New Year brings you all peace, joy, happiness and GOD's love. If there is anything we can do for any of you, please let us know. We love you all. You brought Ashlei into our lives and for that we will always be grateful.



Love, Justina



P.S. Ashlei - I dreamt of you tuesday night. It was a beautiful but sad dream. Please keep talking to me through my dreams.

Many people will walk in and out of your life but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. I definitely have footprints in my heart because Ashlei was one of the best friends that I could ever have. I miss her (more than words can express). I will treasure all of the memories that I have.



Darlene, Dee, Ryan, and Mike - You are in my thoughts and prayers.



Love You all!

A person is extremely blessed to ever find a 'true' friend in life. I found that in Ashlei. She was so loyal and never failed to make me laugh. I can't even begin to express the sadness I feel. My life, along with many others, has been changed forever.

Ashlei, thank you for being there and I will miss you every day!

Kevin LeCompte

October 17, 2002

Ashlei, my dear friend. You have touched my life in a way that I did not know until now. You were a friend that was more caring, loyal, and faithful then anyone I have ever known. I will always remember your smile, your laugh, and always the way you helped pick up others when they were down. To aim to be half the person you are will be a challenge, but will only make me a better person. I will carry your memories forever, and you will always be in my heart.



Mike, Darlene, Dee, and the rest of the family: Please know that Ashlei was truly loved by everyone she ever came in contact with. She has touched us all in a special way, and we can only be better people because of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.



I truly will miss you Ashlei!

Words cannot express how much Ashlei meant to me. She was always there for me - day or night. I guess you could say that I am selfish because I wanted her to be here with me and I was not ready to let her go. I miss her smile and her bubbly personality and I am so thankful that we were and always will be friends. The memories will always be there and Ashlei will always be with me.



To Darlene, Dee, Ryan and Victoria: I wish that I could somehow take the pain away but take comfort in the fact that Ashlei always talked about you all and loved you dearly.



To Stephen & Lynn: I am so sorry for your loss and I'm sorry that I did not get to know you because Ashlei spoke highly of you.



To my friend - Mike: What do I say to you except "I'm sorry and that I love you!" You, Ashlei, Bobby and me have had a wonderul journey together for the past six years. Ashlei loved you with all of her heart as you did her.



I'm not saying "goodbye" - I am saying "until I see you again". I loved her and I will always miss her.

To Ashlei's family:

Ashlei was a ray of sunshine to us here at CMS. Every day was always a great adventure when Ashlei was in our lives. Although Ashlei's journey with us in person has ended much too soon, she will live on forever in our hearts and memories. We will miss her sweet smile and her funny stories tremendously!



God bless you at this difficult time.

My dear friend Ashlie: I am so lucky to have known you. I miss you more than words can express, but I have the wonderful memories in my heart that I will carry with me forever. Like: Singing in the car on the way to the beach; collecting seashells; and shopping until our feet hurt. I will miss you calling me every week after Survivor to talk about who got voted off. Your funny stories and pranks kept me laughing every day. Thank you for starting my morning each and every day with that big, beautiful smile. You have been a loyal friend and a very giving person. You are loved by many and I pray that God will comfort your family and friends during this difficult time.



You will remain in my heart forever.



See you when I get there!



Love Always,

Teresa

Darlene, Dee, Mike, Stephen and Lynn & all the family - During this time of sadness and loss, please remember how much Ashlei touched our lives, our hearts and our spirits. I started at CMS April 2001 in the bench program and a wide-eyed, beautiful, smily faced girl named Ashlei was in my class. Not a day went by that she didn't make us laugh and made us all feel welcome. She was a joy to know and I came to love her like someone I had known all my life. She was a caring person with a heart of gold and she will be dearly missed. Even though she was only on this earth for a short period of time, she made such a difference to the people she met, she will never be forgotten. If we can only be half the person that Ashlei was, the earth will be a better place, all because of her. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give each of you the peace you need to get through this time of grief.



Ashlei - Girl, I'm going to miss you terribly. Now I have no one to pick on for their spelling faux pas' !!!



My love to all, Justina

I send much love and prayers to Darlene, Dee, Ryan, Victoria, Mike, Steven, Lynn, and each of Ashlei's family members.



Love,

To my co-worker Ashlei - I will miss your candid humor, your footsteps walking by me and hearing you say good morning, the funny way you explained things that have happened which left me laughing,your "super white" smile, and most of all, your giving nature. You had a heart of gold and such a generous spirit. My prayers are with you all. May God bless you and give you peace during this difficult time.

Veronica Holmes

I worked with Ashlei at CMS, and have kept in constant contact with her since my leaving the company. I will miss Ashlei, as I know everyone will. To Ashlei's family, I know that you are struggling with this, but you should be proud to have had such a wonderful person as a part of your lives. To Mike, I know you are having a very hard time, but always remember Ashlei loved you, and she died with you. I know that she wouldn't have wanted to be with anyone else. Keep your head high.



Please continue to pray, it will make the coming days easier.

Sherry Thompson

October 15, 2002

Where do I begin. Ash was such a character. She was caring, loving, loyal, funny, and carefree. You could always count on her. When she said she was going to do something, you always knew she would follow through. Her stories always had you rolling in laughter and you would think "only Ashlei". Like her Subway story with her "stinky black sandals" floating away during a gully washer. I can just see her now, chasing that stupid sandal in the pouring down rain. Myself and a lot of others will truly miss her, but her sprit will always bring us laughter and joy.

Love,

Sherry
