“Baby I don’t have words to express how much I miss you. My heart is broken. I feel like I lost a part of me. I wish I could have stopped you. I tried so hard. I begged please don’t. I needed you in my life. I need you live. I dont know how I’ll live without you. You were my entire world. I’m sorry baby I couldn’t save you again. I’ll cherish every memory we have together & they are all good ones. I hope you can hear me. I’ll never find anyone more amazing than you. You’ll always be my one & only. And I’ll always be your girlfriend. I love you so much. It hurts so bad Ash. I love you. “
“I know that there is nothing better than knowing Ashley and Shelbey are now together forever. They are free of sadness. And they are probably about to drive the Good Lord crazy with their foolishness. Know that I love your girls now and forever. Aunt Sue.”
“The family has my sympathy.”
“Ashley, you are gone but never forgotten. I love you so much. You were my best friend through the good and bad times. I will miss your beautiful smile and face. My last words to you were I LOVE YOU and I meant it. To Ashley’s family: My condolences to you, Ashley was a beautiful person ; she will be missed.”
“Rob, Mark and I were so sorry to hear of the loss of Ashley. Please know that you and your family are constantly in our prayers and thoughts. If we can do anything to help you through this very trying time, just let us know. You always have a safe haven at our home. Please know that God is holding your little girl in His loving arms and she is in the light now smiling.”
“I am so sorry to hear of Ashley’s passing. I have very fond memories of Kyle and Ashley playing together when they were little. Please know that you’ll are in our thoughts!”
“My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Ashley. She will be missed. “
“Ashley, how did it come to this? I just saw your smiling face the day before all this happened. The funny thing is, after seeing you, you were constantly on my mind and I was telling everyone how excited I was to have seen you. Looking back, I know that God had that day specially planned for us. God knew that we had that special bond of friendship, and at that moment without me even realizing it, he was giving me the most precious gift…to see you so wonderfully happy like I’ve never seen you before, and to give me that one last moment to hear you say, “I Love You” and for me to express the same feelings back. That day will be forever engraved in my heart, as will all the memories that we shared growing up. You, Shelby and I were inseparable. We lived and breathed for each other’s company. Yes, it did get us in trouble sometimes, but we were never without a good funny story. I would give anything to have one more opportunity to sit down with you and Shelby and laugh and reminisce about all those crazy times we had. I could just imagine it…we would all be in tears from all the laughter. The three of us…Hollywood Shore’s finest, partners in crime! With all that being said, I will continue to keep your smile and laughter in my heart, and it will be tucked away safely in a place that only you and Shelby will share. Ashley, thank you for being such a wonderful blessing in my life, and God thank you for putting her there. Debbie and Robert, thank you for having raised two such beautiful girls. They were both so amazing, and were blessings to all of us who knew them. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and grief you are both going through. You will be in my prayers always. Try to find comfort in knowing that your girls are now together and reunited once again. Things like this happen for reasons we don’t know, and we just can’t understand why a good and loving God would let such a tragedy as this happen…we constantly ask why? My guess…I think heaven was in need of some more everlasting love and beauty. I just know that God welcomed Shelby and Ashley with His loving and open arms and said, “welcome home my child”. So please don’t be angry or sad, your two little girls are being well taken care of, and are now experiencing the greatest love of all – love which is more than we could ever imagine. Matter of fact, I can almost guess that the two of them are probably more sad for us, because we aren’t there to experience all the joy heaven has to offer. Goodbye my special friend Ashley! I love you and I will miss you so very much! You are forever in my heart. “
“I am sorry for you. “
“Ashley, me and you have been through so many goods times together I cant even remember half of them. You were the best friend I ever had. I could talk to you about anything and everything and now its hard to except we will have no more. I will always keep you in my heart.. I give my best wishes to Rob and Debbie. I hope you can hear me Ash, my aunt Jemima. I am happy you and Shelby are finally together again cause I know how much you missed her. You will be missed and loved by many. I promise I will never forget all the memories me and you share. I love you Ash and will miss you more than anything. “

“”Marie” as I would call you, it is so difficult to accept that you are gone. This loss is unbearable, you will be missed so much,as you already are. We talked about so many things these past few months, and I am glad we got to express alot to each other. I will never delete the text you sent me on Saturday, that is all I have left. I love you, always have and always will, but you already know that. I want to thank you for all the times we shared, you were so caring, selfless and supportive, and honestly you helped me in so many ways. I will make sure LaTiana will always know what a major part you and Shelby played in her life, I know that you will watch over her because she will always be your little girl. She just said to me yesterday, “Mommy, I miss Ashley too”. We had our share of ups and downs, but regardless we always remained friends. I keep picturing you dancing & singing those Lil Wayne songs with a smile on your face, thats how I will always remember you. We love you Ashley Marie, I hope you are at peace, take care of Shel, and watch over Daddy. ********************* Robert, I would like to extend my most sincere and heartfelt condolences. I can not even begin to imagine your pain at this time. Ashley was such a daddy’s girl, she always talked about how much you taught her, how she was grateful to have you for a Dad, and she absolutely loved being spoiled by you! You raised two beautiful young women, and that is a commendable thing. My family and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. If you need ANYTHING, big or small, I am only a phone call away. I hope it brings you some peace knowing that Ashley & Shel are together. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your family, and having special memories with both of your girls.”

“Ashley, I don’t know where to start… it’s seems like yesterday when we all use to hang out after school in the shores…and caused trouble! You always knew what to say to make a person smile! I was so happy you came back into my life after so long of us not keeping in touch and now I can’t believe what has happened! I’m still in denial… you were such a beautiful person and had things to look forward to… I miss you & love you uncontrollably… I hope you are happy where you are now, while watching down on all the people that loved you!–To Ashley’s Family: Ashley was a very great person and I’m truly sorry for the heartache your going through.

“Dear Family, Be assured of my prayers at this time and the parish community of St. Francis Xavier. May God be with you. Fr. John”
“Rob and Family, I am sorry for the loss of your daughter Ashley. I know all too well the feelings you must have right now…asking yourself why? and what could you have done to prevent this? Please don’t be too hard on yourself. Know that Ashley is no longer in any pain and truly is in a better place. I am praying for you to take comfort in that. Take care. “
“Ash, I can’t believe that you are gone. You have been a part of our family for such a long time. You will be missed. We shed many tears for you and we love you.You are now at peace with your baby sister. “
“I’ve known Ashley since the day she was born. I’ve always thought of both her and Shelby as 2 of my little nieces. But that changed over the last 2 years. Ashley and I have had the chance to work together and spend a lot of time together. If you climb enough ladders and crawl thru enough crawl spaces together, you really get to know each other. She was great to have on my crew, she really knew her stuff and she was a hard worker, her Dad had taught her well. She became more than my niece, more than just my best friend’s daughter. Ashley was my friend. And I miss her, so much. Rest in Peace, Little One. “
“I am deeply sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and always know that your family is there for you in good times and bad times, no matter what. She will be missed. Love you guys. Cindy”
“Debbie, I am very sorry to hear of Ashley’s passing. I remember both of your girls when they were little when we worked together at Walmart. You worked in Housewares & I worked in Foods with crazy Frank. I can’t imagine the pain you are going through. We had alot of fun & enjoyed talking about our kids. You had 2 beautiful girls it is a shame God took them away from you. I will keep you in my prayers. I would loved to have come to see & comfort you but I now live in Oklahoma & won’t be able to do so. Take care & keep all the good memories you have of the girls to get you through. Take care & God Bless You & your Family. Kathie from Food Dept. at Walmart 1981.”
“Debs, We love you. Sorry is not enough, but no words are there to express how we hurt for you, and all the family. Jack and JoAnn “
“Robbie and family – our sincere condolences. Mary and I are thinking about you and express our deepest sympathies. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help during this difficult time.”
“To the Lowmiller family, I am so to hear of Ashleys passing, she was a one of a kind friend, she will be deeply missed. “
“Ashley, I was honored to be your teacher. I haven’t met anyone who was so tiny, yet so powerful. You had this amazing smile that was like sunshine. The world is going to miss you. You’re in my heart and in my prayers.”
“Dearest Lowmiller family, I am so sorry to hear of Ashley’s passing. Rob, you probably don’t remember me, but you did some repairs on a house I was selling. We talked quite a bit that about kids, yours and mine, how they are so different and our concerns for them. Sometimes so strong, and sometimes so fragile. But most of all, I remember how it was so clear that you absolutely loved your children. To have lost 2 children is sad beyond words. I pray that God gives your family strength and peace. Lean on your church and friends; ask for help, people want to help you at this challenging time. I pray for your daughters to rest in peace, and to watch over you all. Take Care.”
“Please accept my family & I’s deepest sympathies. Although I never got the chance to meet Ashley in person (only on myspace) she was such an inspiration & had an amazing heart. She will truly be missed & her prescence over the computer was strong enough to effect my life without having to physically meet her. All her family & friends are in my thoughts.”
“Ash you will be missed. God Bless”
“May God Bless you, and Always be with the girls !And May they both watch over you and never let you forget the love they gave you!”
“I’M SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR GIRLS ,I KNOW HOW YOU ARE FEELING I LOST TWO OF MY OWN GIRLS, I’M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS…..MY CONDOLENCES ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY…”
“Happy 21st Birthday beautiful girl. May you have the best celebration ever with Shelby and God. BLW”
