David,Debra and Mark, You all are in my special thoughts and prayers, I Will miss the joy and God’s presence that was always evident in Ashley’s smile and voice. I Always felt special when Ashley finished doing my hair. I Will never forget her gentleness, a special gift from our loving Lord. Love, Julia Black
I worked with Ashley at Belk and I will always remember her smile and her bright outlook on life. She will be missed dearly. I pray for her family and friends. God Bless You. Amy
Although I did not know Ashley, I feel as though I may have been the last one to see her alive on July 4. I was in a vehicle that passed the black & yellow bike on 85 South. I remember her looking at me and just smiling as I smiled back. Ya see, I own a bike and I know the sense of freedom you feel when you are riding. This accident has weighed heavy on me all week. I have been searching the internet to try to find out more information and when I finally found this, well….I just wanted you all to know that my prayers and thoughts go out to each and every one of you.
Debbie and family,
Words can not describe how sorry we are to hear about Ashley. We will always cherish the memories we have of her and feel grateful for her friendship. We take great comfort in knowing she is with the Lord. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Pete & Ginger Frank
Debbie,Allen,DJ,and Mark–
I was so heart broken to here of your loss. The few years I was able to know Ashley were wonderful. I rember many great talks and laughs, always good times. I only wish I could have come home, but life has brought me to Boston. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. This has made me reflect on life and to know how quickly it can be taken, but to also live it to the fullest just as I know Ashley did!!! God Bless.
I didn’t know Ashley, but as a motorcycle enthusiast, I pass my condolances to the family. May she ride free on the wings of angels!

To Ashley’s Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Ashley and my younger sister, Amanda, were friends in school. Ashley was a beautiful person and a joy to know. Your family is in my prayers.
To the Family:
Ashley was one of my dearest friends from both middle school and high school. I have so many special memories with her that I will cherish forever. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you, as I can not even begin to fathom your tremendous loss. May the peace that comes from the Father be with you all.
Yours in Christ:
Debbie, Alan, DJ, Mark and Family,
I loved Ashley so much. I thought of her as a sister. We shared so many happy memories together. I will always remember her smile, her laughter and her eyes that twinkled. I miss her so much, but I know I will see her again in Heaven one day. My heart hurts for your loss and I am praying for you. I am here for all of you and love you dearly. You know if you need anything at all you can call me.
With Love,
Rachael
Words cannot express the emptiness I feel in my heart over the loss of my dearest friend. Nothing I have ever experienced comes close to the pain I feel over the hole that is left in my heart. I will always hold close the times we have shared together. How honored I feel to have stood by your side as you gave your heart away in marriage to my dear friend Mark. He deserved only the best and he found it in you. I will cherish the memories we all shared together. Your love of life and love of the Lord would shine in everything you did and everyone you met. You have touched so many hearts,and I can only hope to become half the woman you were. I will always smile when I think of your laughter and your amazingly beautiful smile. I will miss you terribly.
Until we meet again in heaven,
All my love,
Bridget
To the family,
I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to all of you. I went to Owen with Ashley and remember her as a beautiful person, both inside and out. May God’s perfect peace be with you in this time of grief.
Mark & Family
I would like to convey my deepest heartfelt sorrow during this tragic time. Ashley truly was a unique and wonderful person inside and out. The world has become a darker place having been robbed of this beam of sunshine. She will be missed terribly by all.
To the family:
Ashley was a great inspiration to us all. Her smile brightened up any room when she walked in. As a friend/co-worker, she motivated me to always strive for the best, and then push further. Ashley will be missed dearly by us all.
May God Bless you and your family.
May God be with you during this time and bless you with peace.
Mark, I extend my condolences to you and everyone in the family. My family and I will be praying that God will comfort you with his love and grace during this time.
Dear Debbie and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Ashley’s tragic passing. She was a beautiful person and a joy to know. Although we had not been to the salon in a while, we will truly miss seeing her there when we drop by. We have no doubt that her spirit will be with us always.
May God Bless each of you in this difficult time.
With much love,
Kristin and Kara Kilpatrick
I cheered with Ashley at Oakley and had run into her over the years at various places. My husband works at a motorcycle dealer and we had heard of this terrible accident but the name just did not click with me unitl now.
I was sadden to hear of Ashley’s untimely passing and I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to her family. No matter when or where I ran into Ashley she always seemed to have a smile on her face that could light up a room. She will be truly missed!
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers!
Suzan, Mike, and Leah Coviak

So sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.
I sit here with tear filled eyes thinking of the sweet and beautiful child Ashley was. I was the teacher assistant while Ashley was in 2nd grade at Oakley Elementary. She was a favorite of mine. May you experience the peace that only God can give.
With sympathy,

Debbie, Alan, Mark, and family:
I am just learning of the news today and feel at such a loss! I am so shocked to hear my friend has been taken away from us. I will always remember Ashley’s sweet spirit, bright smile, and infectus laugh! I was so thrilled she accompanied me to Atlanta to shoot the grill series for DIY. We had a blast and she was the best hair and makeup I could have asked for!!!!
Debbie, you and Ashley were one of the best teams around… my prayers are with you. Mark, I’ve only met you once, but Ashley spoke of you every time I sat in her chair! Remember your faith and it will get you through. Ashley has been doing my hair for more than 5 years, and that’s how long I consider her a friend. She was simply an amazing young lady and I will miss her dearly!
My love and prayers are with you all.
My prayers go to Ashley’s family. She was a girl with such a sweet spirit that made everyone notice her.
Our condolences,
Jennifer & Eric Roberts

Hey Mark, I just wanted to say that I am sorry for your loss. May God help you through this time of life. I remember when we all went to the beach together back in 96 or 97. You two were an awesome example of a what a relationship should be like. We can’t lean on our own understanding on something like this we just have to trust the Lord. Love ya brother.
To Ashley’s Family-
When your heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help you find your smile. I am so sorry.
Kristen Wyatt
To Ashley’s Family,
My deepest condolences on your loss. No words can express how much Ashley touched each and everyone she came in contact with. She was a ‘true’ and ‘genuine’ person. She always had a smile and even on your lowest days you walked away with a smile on your face when Ashley was there. She loved life and you knew it. She will truly be missed by all. She was a great Hairdresser, Friend, Wife, Sister, Daughter.
Debbie, your relationship with Ashley reminds me of the relationship I have with my daughter. I can only imagine how you feel. My daughter and Ashley were just discussing her ‘future’ wedding the last of June. Again you are in my thoughts and prayers and may God give you guidance.
Pam and Heather
Mark,
My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and Ashley’s family.
Mark and Family-
There are no adequate words at a time like this. Please know that I’m praying for all of you, and that if you need anything at all, I’m available. I will miss Ashley’s radiant smile and fantastic sense of humor, but most of all, I’ll miss a true friend. May God give you strength and peace in the coming days, weeks and months.
Debbie, Mark, Alan, DJ,
My heart is deeply saddened to learn of Ashley’s untimely death.
How wonderfully blessed you were to have lived each day with Ashley! Her bubbly, vivacious spirit, her obvious love and compassion for family and
friends were always a welcomed assurance each time we met. Ashley hugged me upon my arrival and hugged me again when I left! She was always so positive about life and a great encourager! We shared many wonderful ‘talks’ and I know that she loved me as much as I loved her! Often we reminded each other to keep one another in our prayers (and I know she did,too!). I felt quite privileged to meet Mark on one of my visits with Ashley, having heard so
much about him and how in love they were. And on another visit, I met Mark’s mother, Nancy. Ashley always spoke about her family with such love and appreciation. She was never shy about her love for and faith in Jesus Christ, either! Oh, so many lives were touched by this one. Debbie, no doubt you and Ashley enjoyed a very special bond. She always spoke so lovingly of you. She was so proud of your accomplishments and enjoyed the
opportunity to work with you.
My prayers and thoughts are with you all during this most difficult time.
Thank you Dear Father for your peace and comfort now upon this precious family. May Ashley’s spirit live on in the lives of those she touched.
I’m deeply regretful to hear of Ashley’s death. I know there’s nothing that I could possibly say to ease your pain, just know that if you need anything, I’m more than happy to do what I can. You all will be foremost in my thoughts.
Mark,
May the Lord hold you close during this tragic time. You and your family will be in my prayers.
To Debbie & Family
Debbie – I’ve had the wonderful pleasure of getting to know you while we went to school together and I met Ashley for the first time when she came out to see you at Haywood Community College. She was always so perky and like a ray of sunshine! I am so sorry for your loss. Ashley was a beautiful, loving spirit. We will all miss her each and every day. I send all my love and prayers to you.
To Ashley’s family,
I am so sorry to hear this tragic news. I met Ashley through her mother which whom I worked with at Bath and Body works long ago. Debbie, I have thought of you often. I miss you and are praying for you and your entire family. It saddens my heart that she lived such a short life, but we will always remember that radiant smile and her cheerful laugh. Psalms 1:21
With Love,
Beth Reeves

To the family of Ashley,
I just heard of Ashley’s passing and I am just shocked and at a loss to comprehend it. My sincere condolences to all of you and especially her Mom who I have had the privilege to get to know.

Debbie, My heart aches for your loss. With every loss the question why prevails while the answer never seems to come. Know in God’s time peace will enter your thoughts and heart.

Now she can smile down on the world and every time you feel the sun shine, its Ashley wrapping her arms around you. My heart and prayers are with you and your family.

I just heard of your tragic loss a few hours ago. I haven’t seen Ashley in years, but she was one of my dearest friends in middle and high school at Owen. We also spent lots of summers together. I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss, and regret not spending more time with Ashley. Words can’t express what she meant to me. She was such a wonderful and caring friend. She will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Tony and Lori Martin
Debbie-
I am truly sorry. My love, heart and prayers are with you and your family.
Debbi,
I don’t even know where to begin. It has been truly a blessing to have gotten to know you & Ashley the past 3 years. She was such a beautiful girl & was such a joy to be around. I loved coming to my appointments to see her smiling face & to talk all of our ‘girl’ talk. Ashley was more than my hairdresser, she was my friend. I will have an empty place in my heart that only she could fill. We had so much in common, but one of the biggest things was our love for our families, especially our moms. I know that Ashley thought the world of you as I do my mom. You two reminded me of me & my mom so much.

To the family of Ashley H. Raymer,
I was so saddened to hear about Ashley’s death. I worked for an AVEDA salon in Asheville and had the pleasure of taking some color classes that she taught. She was incredible and very much loved by her clients, as well as her friends. It was such an honor to have had the chance to meet her. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
To Ashley’s family:
We were shocked to hear of Ashley’s tragic death. We still do not want to believe it. We were lucky enough to be clients of hers for the last 4 years. My 3 year old son and I were able to see Ashley on July 1st for hair cuts after just moving back to the area from Charlotte. She will truly be missed as she was the best hair dresser and a wonderful person to be around. Our prayers will continue to be with you all.
Our family loved Ashley. She was such a friend to Julie and directed her toward a career in cosmotology. Ashley was a caring and giving person. She placed the feelings of others before her own feelings. Know that God has Ashley. She is not forever gone from us. Her spirit is very much with the Lord, and I pray the Lord keeps all of her family throught this time. God bless you all.
Mark and Family,
We are saddened by the loss of Ashley. She was such a ray of sunshine at the Crossfire softball games. She always had her Carolina chair.

To Ashley’s Family,
We are sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Ashley and I played softball and went to school together. Peter writes in 1 Peter 5:7, ‘Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.’ May God be your comfort during this time.
Dear Mark and Ashley’s Family,

To Ashley’s family we pray for your loss and pray for some peace to come in to your lives. Mark, if you need anything or just to talk feel free to call. We love you very much.(691-3838)

Marsha Kiser
Ashley was a great person. She was always smiling. She will be missed grealy.
I’m so glad that I had the privilage of knowing such a charming, kind, intelligent, talented, beautiful young lady. For 2 years Ashley cut my hair, and I have never been more pleased with anyone’s work. She was a joy to visit everytime I needed a trim. I looked forward to every appointment because I knew she was going to make me feel great about myself.
Debbie, I know there are no words for what you are going through at this time. Please know that you have a family of support at Belk. We are all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. My love and condolences go out to you and your family.

To Ashley’s Family:
I just heard the news last night and wanted to express my deepest sympathies. I worked with Ashley years ago when I managed Limited and she worked with Victoria’s Secret. I will never forget her magnetic personality – she was a beautiful person and I will always remember her fondly.
The Raymer and Hensley famlies,
I will never forget Ashley’s sweet and bubbly personality. She was such a shinning star that touched every person she met. There is no words to describe how muched she will be missed, but I do know that our Lord and Savior is taking such wonderful care of her. May God bless each and everyone of you and y’all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Ashley was such a special, dear person. She has such a glow, and the world is not the same without her.She touched so many lives while she was with us.
Ashley’s smile, passion and love of all will be so missed. She was a special spirit that God allowed us to know and we are forever grateful.

Allen, Debbie, DJ, Mark, And Family
My heart is broken for the loss you have experienced. Ashley was the kind of woman, daughter, wife, and spiritual person everyone inspires to be like. She has made an impact on me and every person who was lucky to have met her. This loss is hard to understand the meaning of it all and I hope God, family, and friends will help carry you through these hard times…We are all blessed to have been touched by such a beautiful angel…
Mark –
You have many friends at ClientLogic who are praying for you and for Ashley’s family. I hope you can all find comfort in the precious memories you have of her.
Ashley was a friend, as well as my hairdresser, for the past three years. She was always so caring. I can’t begin to tell you how much my heart aches, I will so miss her presence. My thoughts are prayers are with all of you at this time.
To Ashley’s family,
You are in our prayers during this difficult time. May God wrap His loving arms around you and console you as only He can. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of losing a spouse or child, but the only piece of mind would be to know that you will all be together with Ashley and Our Heavenly Father for eternity, for Jesus said:
‘There are many rooms in my Father’s home, and I am going to prepare a place for you.’ John 14:2
John, Tosha, Jonathon, and Abigael
Mark, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I hate that I never had the chance to meet Ashley personally.
Isaiah 51:11
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
We must resist sorrow and grief and ask for God’s peace and comfort when we face loss and heartache.
I will keep your family in my prayers.
Mark, Debbie, Alan, and DJ:
We will always remember Ashley in our hearts and minds. She was always and will always be Aiden’s ‘Aunt Ashley’ and Sarah will forever think of her as a sister. We will always remember weddings made perfect by Ashley and Valentine’s Days with Aiden at your house. Mark, you both played a very special part in Aiden’s life, and Ashley will always be remembered. We are always here for all four of you, and are only a phone call and two streets away.
With Love and Prayer in His Name,
Chandler, Sarah, and Aiden
Alan and Debbie,
I am having such a hard time accepting this. I cannot imagine the depth of your grief. My heart aches for you.
Ashley was one in a million. I will miss her so much.
My deepest and most sincere sympathies to Debbi, DJ and David. Although it has been years, Ashley is one of those people I remember very fondly. She was one of the most beautiful women I have ever crossed paths with, inside and out. Most of all I am praying for Debbi. I know that you and Ashley shared a bond most people never experience. What a beautiful girl we were all lucky to have known.
Debbie,
I pray for God’s sustaining grace to be very evident as you grieve your beautiful friend and daughter. When grief strikes so close to our soul and we cannot pray for ourselves, I believe the Holy Spirit, and those who care for us, intercede on our behalf. You will have my faithful prayers.

When my brother (Cole) passed away about four weeks ago, one of his friends shared a poem that they had written. I have found comfort in this poem and would like to share it with you.
Kisses to Heaven
Today I sent a kiss to Heaven
I am encouraging all of you to try
For if I shared this with you
You have had a loved one die
This kiss came from deep down inside and I know it was truly received, right after I sent my kiss a calming breeze surrounded me
Not only that wind, a wind chime rang From where I do not know But, I felt my loved one smile at me And say that they loved me
Take your kiss within your hands
And look up into the sky
Release that kiss with loving care
Now please try not to cry
Once your kiss is sent off
To Heaven’s Gate above
Just look for any single sign
Of your precious love
I felt my kiss returned to me
And yours will do the same
It might not be from breezes or chimes
But in the trees, sun, or rain
Now smile up to your loved one
in the clouds way above
But most important tell
Your loved one that they are always loved.
My prayers and thoughts are with you!!!!
Love,
Alana
Alan and Debbie,
I am very sorry for the lose of your Daughter. I did not know her but knowing you, I’m sure she was a very wonderful person. Words can not express how much sorrow I have for you and your family at this time.
Your freind.
Dear Hensley and Raymer families,
Ashley was one of my best friends in middle and high school. She was a rare friend. One who was always kind and encouraging. Her laughter and smile were contagious. I was truly blessed by her friendship. I am so thankful the Lord made a divine appointment for us to meet up not too long ago. As always she was so cheerful and loving and it was so nice to catch up on many years passed. Ashley was such a beautiful person and she will be greatly missed. Please know that you all are in my prayers. The Lord Jesus will hold you close and give you the comfort and peace you need.
WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
WITH LOVE, DR. ROEDER & STAFF
To the Family,
Words can’t even express how saddened we were to hear of your loss. Ashley was such a beautiful person inside and out, always wearing an infectious smile. I remember the first time we met both Ashley and Mark was on the ballfield, as well as her friendship she also had with our daughter Andie. We share many wonderful memories of our time spent together, and I will always remember how she always smiled, and lite up the room upon her entry, as her grand entry on July 4th when heaven was truly blessed.
Love and prayers,
Chuck and Karen
Mark and family,

To the Hensley and Raymer families,
Ashley was such an incredibly beautiful girl inside and out. Her personality was always so warming and comforting to be around. You couldn’t be around Ashley and not smile.

Love,

I think of her radiant smile everyday…and I cannot wait to see it again. To her family & close friends – the words just don’t seem to come easy…I pray that God can give you some kind of peace and comfort to help you through each day. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express how saddened I am for your loss. Like so many others, Ashley was not just my hairdresser but a very dear friend.

Debbie and Family,
Our prayers go out to you and your family. It’s been along time since we’ve seen Ashley, but we have many fond memories of her. May God be by your side and guide you at this diffcult time.
Diane, Heather and Melaine Marlow
Mark, I am so sorry for your loss. Words can never take the pain or help to understand why this happened. I will pray for you and the family and hope you are able to feel the love and concern so many people have for you. If I could have been there I would have. I still feel so close to all of you, up here in the far North I want you to know that I am here if you need to talk send me an e-mail, God Bless Mark, keep the faith. XX
Debbie,
I have had Ashley on my mind this past week for some reason and I felt compelled to send this condolence- I had only known Ashley for a short time and in that time she had helped me overcome some things that even she did not know about, she was and always will be a bright shining star in everyone’s eyes and hearts that she touched. She had a way of making you feel like you were the most special person in the world while you were sitting in her chair. I am so sorry for your family’s loss but god sure did gain a wonderful person!! Someone once told me that God would never put on you more than you can handle. I truly believe in that phrase. Please keep it close to your heart and remember that Ashley would not have wanted you to mourn her death but to be happy that she is flying high in the heavens!! I like to believe that she is up there fixing everyone’s hair!!
Love, Tracy Keenan
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, May God comfort you in this time of need… Hayes and Raynae Jones
I taught Ashley at Oakley Elementary School and I can still remember her bright smile. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Dear Family and Friends, Ashley Raymer was a special lady. I started going to Ashley for haircuts after my hair grew back from chemo. I showed her a lock of my original hair and she assured me she could color it back the way it was before chemo. She did just that, and gave me back my self esteem and dignity. She was always eager to hear of what God was doing in my life. I am so happy she knew the Lord as her saviour. She also cut my husband’s hair at a discount because he is a pastor. What a blessing she was to us. May God sustain you all. We will see her again one day. Rita Phillips
Mark and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Ashley was a wonderful person and blessed so many people, she will be greatly missed. May the Lord carry you through your time of need.
To the family of Ashley,
No words could ever express my deepest sympathy to you for the sudden loss of such a beautiful friend and teacher. As an in salon color coach for an AVEDA salon, I had the oppurtunity to train with Ashley. Her ability to reflect the love for her profession definately will be missed by not only her clients, but her AVEDA family as well. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
To Know Ashely was to love her;
Each meeting brought unexpected joy
and contagious laughter…
The lifes of each person that she touched,
Are all richer and more colorful.
Those who were fortunate enough to
see her radiant smile
Will always be blessed with the reminiscence of it.
Her inward beauty shone just as brightly as her outward.
Ashley was and always will be
a treasure to all who were truly
blessed to know her.
Mark and family,
My deepest condolences on your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting Ashley, but from what I knew from Mark, she had to be a wonderful person. Mark, you’ll always have a friend to turn to and May God be with you always.
To Ashley’s Family,
It has been nearly a decade since I last spent time around Ashley, but I will always remember her charisma and that glowing smile so familiar to all those who know her. I offer you my deepest sympathies. Celebrate her life to ease the loss in her passing.
SIS, WE LOVE YOU GUYS VREY MUCH. LOVE YOUR BROTHER
Mark, Debbie, Alan, D.J., Nancy, Mike, Beth
We have known some of you a long time, we are still in shock, wishing this were just a bad dream. Ashley was such a beautiful, talented woman, Heaven sure got a special ANGEL. Ashely used to speak everytime I saw her of what a good meals I could fix, and how Don Jills dad reminded her so much of her own dad. Ashley loved Mark very much she told us that many times, she was always a helper with anything or anyone who needed her, she taught Jill so much and she will never be replaced. Wishing all the family love, support of GOD and sympathy. We are praying for all of you. Love and prayers, Gail and Don Trantham (Jill and Donna,s Parents)
Ashley was a wonderfully talented, smart, passionate, beautiful and vivacious young woman and she will be truly missed by the many people whose lives she touched. I’m so sad for her family and this world that she gone so tragically and so young. I hope that her family can be comforted knowing she is with our Father in heaven and that there is no pain and no tears there. I wish you peace in this difficult time.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies over your tragic loss.
It’s been a little over two years since Ashley left us… and im still having a hard time saying goodbye… I love you and miss you Ashley…
For MARK J. RAYMER:
Mark, Ashley’s death is an unfathomable tragedy that has affected several of your friends and former co-workers. I regret that I am unable to be there for you during this terrible time of grief. You, more than I, are a man of faith. While your faith may be sorely tested, it is there to give strength. It will take time. God bless you, dear friend. I will be in touch soon. Kevin McKee
God saw she was truely hurt and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around her and whispered come with me.
With tear filled eyes, we watched her quickly fade away.
A golden heart stopped young, tender hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
You’ll always be in our memeroies Tammy Mckinney and Casey Pressley
To Ashley’s Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Ashley. May god comfort you at this difficult time.
In My Prayers,
Heather
Mark-
I am so sorry for everything you have been going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Victoria and I are deeply shocked and saddened by the loss of Ashley. We will miss her very much. Please accept our heartfelt condolences and sympathy.
If Tears could build a stairway
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again.
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say Good-Bye,
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears still flow,
What it ment to lose you,
No one will ever know.
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place with my heart
Is where you’ll always stay.
Mark,
I am so sorry for your loss. I don’t begin to know how you feel. I want to let you know I hurt for you and the family. Sometimes it seems God gives us more than we can stand. But he has a reason for everything he does. I can’t understand the reason my house burned. Life goes on even when you are hurting.
If you need anything at all just let me know. Ken and I think the world of you. God bless.
Love, Alline and Ken
