To hear that Ashley had passed away broke my heart. I work with her dad George. She was such a blessing to her family and to the patients she had the chance to work with. She will be missed to all the people she came in contact with. I will be praying for the family.

You were the easiest person to be around.. even for those who were wounded and scared. I admired your ability to just roll with life's punches.. you never got stirred! You were just this incredibly strong immovable, yet soft person! You could literally find humor in anything which made it so hard to have a bad day around you. You didnt just say you were there, you really were.. constantly stretching yourself thin to try to nurture everybody around you even when your body was worn ragged. Its gonna be hard to go to a lot of places now.. even into my own back yard, because so many places remind me of the kind things that you did and it just breaks my heart to think those will only be memories. I will see you on the other side rocking your leggings and flip flops with your Starbucks coffee..

From the time Nary fixed Ashley's hair when her mother married my brother until her passing, Ashley was a valued member of our family..  Her smile and bubbly personality brought joy to our family gatherings.  She will be sorely missed by all of us.

Remembering Ashley at my brother Dennis and sister-in-laws family get togethers. Her sweet smile, such a pretty girl . She will be missed .                                                                                                                                                        

George & Karen,

We are truly sorry for this devastating loss.  You will be in our prayers at this difficult time.

I’m having a hard time believing this heartbreaking news. Ashley was a home health nurse for my son for a few years. She was so dedicated to her patients and she truly loved them. When she wasn’t our sons nurse she came back and brought him a birthday gift. Once her patient always her patient. She had a heart of gold and she will be missed by all that had the blessing of knowing her. Our son (her past patient) turned 10 on the 25th. It will from now and be a day to celebrate Gabe but alway remember Ashley. My prayers and condolences to her loved ones. 

Ashley was the most caring, selfless person. She was a wonderful nurse. She loved her little patients as if they were her own. She was a light to many with her smiles and caring. An Angel to those who knew her. She will be missed. I am praying for her family and friends. God be with you all  in this difficult time. 

Ashley was one of the most dedicated and hard working nurses we had. She was very dependable and always willing to help however she could. We are all at a loss with the news of her passing. She will be deeply missed. 

Dear Bob (and Carol)
Bob, we served together on the HPC Men’s Committee. I was always impressed by the strength of your faith and your commitment to Christ our Savior. I pray that our Almighty God will increase these strengths so that you may be able to comfort your wife and your extended family. We have a special needs grandchild and know of the deep love and dedication those who serve these children have. You were blessed to have such a kind and beautiful daughter. We also lost our son when he was a similar age to Ashley.  We share your pain and grief and mourn with you. We also know that our loving Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus walked with us ever step of the way. We know and pray that He will do the same for you. We are now able to rejoice in knowing that as each day passes we draw closer to a blessed reunion with those who we loved so much. May you to find that peace in the days ahead of you.
Your brother and friend in Christ Jesus
Stuart and Paula Hilton


Ashley came into my heart when she was 5 with my daughter Erica Casseday. Often, I would pick up Erica late from school because I taught school and Ashley would still be at Alpine Crest. So, often we would play and talk together. She was a cute, funny wild child. When she was about 8,  I took Ashley and Erica downtown at Christmas to look at EPB Christmas lights. So we stood around outside and sang Christmas songs with some hoboes. It was such a wonderful time and Ashley made it so funny! Then there were all the fun memories shared with me from the sleepovers. Yes, Ashley was precious! We all knew it. But God knew it more than we did. And knows it best now.
