Dear Val and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss.You are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do let me know.
Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away- Her journey has just begun Life holds many facets The Earth is only one Just think of her as resting From the sorrows and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort Where there are no days and years Think how she must be wishing That we could know today How nothing but our sadness can really pass away And think of her as living In the hearts of those she touched For nothing loved is ever lost- And she was loved so much. ~ Ellen Brenneman
I am So sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose someone you love. I wish you and your family the best of luck in the future.
I remember Ashley one family celebration many years ago when she was just a little girl, with large eyes and a special smile. She was wondering ‘who are all these people’! Her Grandma & Grandpa Bates had brought her and Kristina to Aunt Mary and Uncle Gene’s. She was so inquisitive and she was so protective of Kristina, not leaving her side. I pray the memories being shared now will add to those you all have together and somehow enrich you. May the love you shared help you through this time, knowing that the love and joy will stay forever. May the thoughts and prayers of so many give you strength! In blessings, Marlene Fumia
i will miss u in my heart . i love u and miss u
I’m so sorry for your loss.
It has been one month since we said our goodbyes to you. The pain is as real today as it was the day we heard about this tragedy. Little did we know, that angel born on 08-08-88 would have such an impact on our lives. We have quietly stood by hoping that we would be able to have you in our lives. Our love for you never ceased thru the years and never will. We now pray that you will help us get in touch with Kristina so that she will also know that we love both of you.
Kristina, We are bound by blood, and now we share a broken heart. Please know that we love you, but by circumstances & events we haven’t been able to be with you. I know that Ashley will keep us together until there is a time that we will meet. Love you, Grandma & Grampa
My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this time. Ashley was a nice person to work with. Angel-ex co-worker @SMH Emergency Dep’t.

I will always remember Ashley as the warm and caring young girl I worked with when she was in 4th & 5th grade, and I know how much joy she brought you. I was unable to come to the funeral home on Tuesday, but want you to know you are in my prayers.
To The Family of Ashley Bates - My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Time, Events and circumstances got in the way of truly knowing Ashley through her 19 years of life. Those are things I will regret. However, I knew her as a beautiful and vibrant child. In the kingdowm of God where she now reigns she will remain the beautiful and vibrant Angel that she has become; and this is the way. I will choose to remember her. My prayers and thoughts especially go out to Christinia during the mourning of her sister. May God Be With You. Be Free Ashley, Tracy Clark
