I do not even know what to say… I am so sorry to the family for your loss. There are no words that will take the pain away. She was an amazing person and had so much more life in her… Rest peacefully Ash.
Lisa, Rose Marie, Duke, Sharon and families-
Bob and I want you to know that even though we can’t be there with all of you, we send our love and prayers. Please let Our Lord help you through this horrible time. We love you all so much and hope to see you soon.
Rest In Peace, Ashley.
Dearest Ashley,
Though I did not know you well, I see how your presence had affected those around you. Everyone speaks well of you that is a monumental task these days. Your mother always hopeful that you would continue to influence Gabriel to grow into a responsible, independent, understanding and loving young man, the most import job a person possesses. Your aunt’s devotion and guidance will be felt forever. Your step-father has an air of patience about him though he seldom speaks. While walking our dogs, one of your friends met me the street, she was a sweet as she could be and clearly missing your friendship. Of course the one I know the best is Gabriel, your son, he helps me walk the dogs. What a delightfully cheerful young man he is and he has a sparkling imagination. The neighbors now remembering the good ole days, when you were an innocent child, the joy you brought many is apparent. So many loved you and were hoping to see your life blossom as an adult. Heaven had different plans for you, now it will be you watching over all your loved ones. You will have the upper hand for once, until Jesus wants it back.
May God bless you, your family and friends.
Sincerely,
Chris and Dale Pierce

Ashley Was A ParT Of The Weirton Pizza Hut Crew At One Time And I Had The Privilege To Work With Her…She Touched Every Life She Came Incontact With…You Will Be Missed Dearly…Thank You For Always Staying True To Who You Were…
I am sorry I was unable to attend the services. Ashley and I were in band together. We weren’t very close and we did not stay in touch after I graduated but I am very saddened to hear that she is gone so soon. My heart goes out to all her loved ones, family and friends. Though we weren’t close I will never forget her beautiful smiling face and that is how I will choose to remember her, happy and smiling. She was always kind and had a beautiful soul. I know she will be looking down from heaven and watching over us all. Rest in peace, Ashley.
I send my love to all,
Heather Hixson
