Ashton, you came into our lives when you were three years old. I can still see you curled up in a big chair on one side of Pop ‘s Ronnie and Ian claiming the other side. He loved reading books to you probably more than the two of you loved hearing them.
You will be forever missed and loved. Be the brightest Star in Heaven. I can just see you giggling as you test out your angel wings. We all miss you but none more than your big sis, Tina. She honored you so with a lovely service. Until we meet again Hugs to you, Ashton. Love, gma Jo. Xox

I was one of Ashton’s middle school teachers and have fond memories of her being a friendly, kind, athletic young 7th grader. Please know my heart is breaking with you and for you. I am not able to attend the services on Saturday, but please know I will be wearing my KC gear in honor of Ashton. Your family has my deepest sympathies.

This was a shock to me, I met Ashton at bingo at the American legion. Condolences to your family.
