"Dear Storm Family, Although I do not know you, I do understand a little of your pain. Tomorrow is the 15th year anniversary of my son Trent''s death from his motorcycle accident. I know the loss of a child and we as parents should never have to bury one of our children. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Ashley is safely home and without pain. One day you will be reunited with her and you will never have to say good-bye to her again. I know this does not help you out right now with all the pain but maybe it will be a comfort later on. I will be thinking of all of you during the calling hours, the funeral and days later. As a parent who buried a child, the pain never goes away only each day gets easier. I will however think of you often. I HATE reading or hearing about any parent going through the pain. Ashley will be missed by all her knew her, loved her and I''m sorry for your loss. God bless you all. Becky and Matt Beery"
