Ashley was so warm and welcoming when I moved to Grove Park in April 2021. We met in person and she was very helpful. I just learned of her passing today. I am shocked and so sad. She knew of my fight with stage 4 MBC. I will continue to fight this dreadful disease in her honor.

Rest well Ashley. You are a light taken way to soon.

My sincere condolences to her family and loved ones.

Warmly,

Ashley was a pleasure to work with and we called ourselves kindred spirits in both loving the "Golden Girls". She and I had the same love for music and she would come to my office dancing. Keep dancing Ashley you will be sorely missed.
