Stacey, Brittany and family members: I am beyond sad to have just recently learned of Ashley’s passing. She was a beautiful, smart, sweet, quiet and humble child, much like her wonderful mom and sister. I loved having her as a student and am so broken hearted for you. I want you to know you are all in my thoughts. I will miss her spirit and her beautiful life. Stacey, I have known you for so long and you certainly have some amazing children. May peace be with your heart and know there are people who care and love you all.
Dear Ashley’s family, I am just learning of Ashley’s passing and am so sad and sorry for you family’s loss. I was her supervisor at the Mountaineer Kids Club and truly loved this girl. She was such a sweet and reliable employee and friend. Sending you all special prayers.
