Though your body is mortal and you have been called away, you're our unsung hero who will now lead our way. You have helped us climb mountains moun-tains and reach for the stars. You're our unsung hero, who has taken us far. Over cliffs and through valleys, val-leys, in pain and in peace, you're our unsung hero who brought us relief. You gave us your all yet sought for no gain, now stand with us here and help ease our pain. We shall not grieve long for we know you are free, your life has been full and its now time to leave. We stand with you now as today's sun has set, knowing tomorrow a new sun will rise, bringing with it your smile in the sky. Ashley, your life brought joy to many and will continue to radiate peace and joy with each memory kept by loving family and friends. You will never stop living for you loved life with all its pleasure and pain and you always shared that with anyone you met. Even now, as we recall each moment of time . X- ' ' Ashley Henrie you were with us, a smile starts from inside and radiates outward to warm the soul and sooth the troubled trou-bled heart. Now, we will be blessed to live part of that life you so desired de-sired for you and for us; in turn bringing a little more joy and gladness to the earth, a little more peace to a lonely heart, a little more sunshine to a new day and a bigger smile to all our souls.
