I am so very sorry to read of Ashley's passing.  I remember when she adopted Gucci; her dedication to giving Gucci a wonderful life was inspiring.  
She will surely be met at the rainbow bridge by a pack that she touched.  I will always admire and strive to imitate her advocacy for animals.

Ashley was always the big kid in our group! Always looked out for us, gave us lots of laughs as young kids.  When I saw her several years ago after a Flames game at Duttons, she saw me from across the room and said 'Hey Myster' which is my childhood nickname my mom called me, and those family friends who spent so much time with us also called me that too, like Ashley. Even after all the years it had been since we saw each other, it was like I was still that little kid hanging with the big kids.  There was six of us kids: Ashley & Brenna, Kaela & Kelsey, and Matt & Josh. Our moms were great friends when we were kids, Kimmers, Bonnie, & Carrie! It was a special time in our childhood,  I will never forget the holidays spent together, the crafts, the birthdays, and so many things in between.

Sending all my love to Ashley, Kim, Brenna, the rest of her family, and to those who had to privilege to know her.  May she rest in peace.  We love you Ashely.

Dearest Kim,

We're incredibly shaken by Ashley's passing. Our deepest condolences you, Yvonne & Brenna.
Ashley's work and commitment to animals is a testament to her compassion and empathy for those that can't speak for themselves.  Her work and efforts won't be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with you.

Love Donna & Chris Xo

I was shocked to hear of Ashley's passing and hope your memories of her bring comfort in the days and months ahead. 
I remember her as someone full of life and enthusiasm, sharing stories of movie marathons, cuddling on the floor with Billy and their dogs. Her passion for animals was evident in her work with the Humane Society, from her time as a volunteer/student to a valued team member. 
May the wind be always at your back Ash. 

My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss and my condolences go out to Ashley’s family and all who loved her.
I worked with Ash at the Cochrane Humane Society and was witness to her dedication and compassion to the animals in our care. She changed the lives of many fearful and troubled dogs and it was a privilege to work with her.

It was as if, my heart, stopped, or as some might describe as being kicked in the gut, when Kim told me the news, shock, then I tried to grasp at reason. 

Sending heartfelt healing and peace of mind during this incredibly sad time.
My prayers are with your healing and memory of the beautiful moments no time can take away.

My children and I will always remember, animal petting zoo Birthday's with Ashley and she how she rescued our turtle fluffy when we had to give him up!
Ashley with her, beautiful smile, and sparkly blue eyes, I felt a bit of a kinship perhaps, but I could relate on so many levels. I hope you have found your way now and forever more, dear Ashley 

My heart goes  out to you Kim, Brenna, and family 
Love, 
Julie

My heart goes out to all of you at this very sad time. I did not know Ashley well, but was lucky enough to be pulled into the fold for family dinners with Kim. She was a straight-talking, funny and strong woman like her mother. I've followed Ashley's amazing work with animals especially her little family of sofa-hogging misfits on social media and delighted in their development. Kim is so proud of Ashley as are our mutual friends here and gone.  My deepest condolences to you all.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Ashley. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. 
Ashley dedicated her life to the care and protection of animals, especially dogs, and her compassion touched the lives of countless shelter animals. Her  work with Cochrane Humane was not just a job; it was a calling, one she fulfilled with unwavering love and devotion. She helped make our hiking program a huge success. 

Her legacy will live on in every pup she saved and every heart she warmed. May her memory continue to inspire us to lead with love, empathy, and compassion.

Wishing her friends & family peace and comfort in the days ahead. 
Christine Newman

I am so sorry for your loss.  Ashley was a remarkable person, and one of the best dog trainers that i have worked with.
Debbie Malone

I remember the few memories and the blessing of meeting Ashley for the first time. I may not be as close but the impact you left on your family and friends will be forever there. I loved your love for animals and your beautiful pups. I hope you were greeted with open arms and kisses from the ones who left this earth before you. Always in our hearts. ♡
