Ashley had a smile like a ray of sunlight, a heart as big as the ocean, and the gentleness of a summer rain. I knew him for three years, but I will remember him for a lifetime. To Ashley's family, you raised a remarkable young man, and he loved you every minute of every day of his life. Sleep well, friend, and we will meet again someday.
Love, Myrna

I was always so excited to see Ashley at bowling or around town. He always had a smile on his face and made coaching Special Olympics so much fun. He made me a better person & I will miss him dearly. Kempton Hyson

Glen and Family, please accept our condolences. I was so Blessed to have shared in Ashleys dream during the 24 hours of our 1998 Sunshine Dreamlift to Disney. It is an event that I will never forget & I am certain Ashley never forgot it. I was so fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend and even more blessed to have got to travel and share the experience with Ashley & Shawn. I do motivational speaking three times a year here in Newfoundland. I tell of our experiences in Disney that Great November day and of my experiences with Ashley. His excitement, determination and fun nature made my day & many others. The image that come to mind each time is Ashley waving good bye to me with his Giant Goofie Gloves. Take Care & God Bless you!
