Ashley, it seems like yesterday that our whole family would spend hours
circled around you as an infant, marveling at your every move Instantly,
you brought such joy into our lives and to thts day you still do. From the
softball field to the classroom and all the paths tn between, you have shown
such passwn, commitment, leadership and enthusiasm. /love the heart you
have for others and how you bring a smile to those you serve so selflessly. I
am so grateful for the precious memories that we have shared together and
look forward to a lifettme more. Remember to always keep your eyes fixed
jesus and allow Him to direct your paths. /love you to the moon and back
and am honored and thankful to be your Mama.

Ashley, words can not express how proud I am to be your dad. You had
me wrapped around your finger from the first ttme I saw you. I thank God
every day for you. I'm going to miss all the great times we have shared
the last 18 years, but I am excited to see what God has planned for the
rest of your life. Thank you for always being there for me. I could not
imagine going through this life without you. Know that your daddy will
always be here for you. /love you!
