"Wow it's been two years without you "

"Baby It's 4 months today you are gone now. I still can't get over the pain and emptiness in my heart. I miss your early morning calls, your energy for life and your beautiful smile. I continue to pray for peace in my heart and it doesn't seem like I will be getting that any time soon. Maybe I never will. I want you to know that I'm doing the best I can but it's so hard to move on without you. I've lost a big piece of me and now there's a big hole. I know you would want me to move on and be happy but I feel so lost without you. I do want you to know I will try one day at a time but no promises. Kisses and hugs to my beautiful angel in heaven. Love always Mom"

"I met Ashley back in 2007, at a daycare she used to work at in Belleville, Nj. she will always have this big smile on her face. She made me feel very welcome and was a great person to work with as well. As the months few by she became a great friend to me. She was also a great mother to Jason so loving and caring. We didn't talk much when she moved to florida, but i always had a thank you card she wrote to me for the gift i gave her at her babyshower. I am in shock to find out about her passing. Such a beautiful person with a big heart. I wish I would of known sooner. I know she is in a better place up in heaven and looking down on us. RIP Ashley i will be seeing you again "

"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me.I took His hand when I heard Him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way;I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;Ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrowI wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much;Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.Perhaps my time seems all to brief;Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.Lift up your heart and share with me,God wanted me now, He set me free. "

"Ashley was a very special person that will always take up a big part of my heart. I am so sorry I couldn't be there to say goodbye to you. Ashley was a beautiful spirit; she made my days when we were together. I always have and always will love you Ashley. I am sorry we didn't speak for the past few years. I will always keep you with me in my life. I know you are in a better place and I pray to see you again one day. I love you. To Elba and David, I hope you are both okay and would love to see both of you soon, I am sorry for everything."

"Hello my angel its been a month since you went to heaven. I miss you so much! I would like to say its getting better but I would be lying. My heart aches so much that at times I think its going to break. What does help my heart is my grandson Jason. I look at him and there is so much of you in him that it does help console me & the pain I feel. He is my reason for living & my strength. Thank you my angel for the gift you have left for me. I will treasure him always and I will take good care of him because he belonged to you. Please know he will know you are his mother and he will know how much you loved and cared for him. Please watch over baby jason and your brother. Love always and forever your mom I send you hugs and kisses my angel. "

"Hey Baby, you used to say as you saw me come through the door @ Uncle Al's. Man is this some kind of nighmare ? I don't understand. I can't wrap my head around it. It's hard & those who you tounched will forever remain with you in their hearts. your family & your baby boy. The kids love Baby Jason so much & had fun watching him. He will now have you watching over him forever. Oh Ash my heart aches so bad & can't UNDERSTAND why God took you so early from this World. Love you & forever in our hearts you will be ! Party in Heaven Beautiful Girl ! "

"As I did not know Ashley too well, except for the many times friends & I have went to Uncle Al's, we always wanted her to be our waitress. My friends & I were lucky enough to have her wait on us Sept.22 the last Saturday she was there. We heard the news the next Saturday. She will always be in my heart & her family is in my prayers. Always cherish what you have, & never take anyone or anything for granted. Life is a privilege and nothing can equal its grandness. Goodbye Ashley, God Bless"

"Elba...I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, Ashley. I know the emptiness left in your heart because I have the same since my son, Michael, passed in 2005. She will always be watching over you and her son. Please know that I will be thinking of you and your family. Linda - Horizon BCBSNJ"

"Ashley, Your beautiful spirit has touched me. Your loss is teaching others so much about life and to live in the moment for none of us know when it is our last day here on earth. My heart goes out to your mom and dad and to your beautiful child. God bless you beautiful Ashley. "

"Ashley was a beautiful ray of sunshine every time our group went to Uncle Al's. She called everyone "honey" or "love", and was so sweet and positive. You had to love her. We are still trying to grasp the fact that her brief life is over and that we'll never see her smile again. She is one of those people you meet ever so incidentally in your life and don't realize how much she touches you until she is gone. We will miss her so. Our deepest condolences to her family, and especially her little boy for whom she is now a guardian angel."

"We will miss your smiling face every Tuesday at Uncle Al's. You will be in our hearts forever! "

"u will never be forgotten ashley ,, luv always anthony,,victor,, and candie,,another beautful angel in heaven,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"

"To my beautiful baby I can't express the pain I've been feeling since I got the phone call that change the rest of my life. I still feel like this has to be a nightmare and its not possible that you are gone. My only comfort or solace is that you left me your little bundle of joy or like you use to say "your life". Baby Jason was your strength and reason for living and now he will be mine. I know I use to tell and show you that I love you but i still wish for one more chance to hug and kiss you or even hear you say I love you too mom! I miss your smile and laugh but most of all I will miss your daily morning calls. My life will be forever changed and my heart broken. Ashley, I would like to say I understand why you have been taken away so soon but I don't and I think I never will. However, I want you to know that it was my honor and privilege to be your mother. It warms my heart to know I wasn't the only person who saw what an amazing and beautiful young woman you were. Please know that I will make sure to keep Jason safe and love him with all my heart & soul. I miss you my angel. Love you always & forever Mom"

"Its sad how someone so kind and heart warming like Ashley had to go at such a young age. She was special person in her own ways, and was always there when you needed her. You will never forgotten and will keep you in our hearts forever. LOVE YOU ASHLEY!"

"My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family... You didnt really know us but we are customers of Uncle Als, you always greeted us with a big smile and you were very sweet. Rest In Peace. "

"It's funny how such a small person could have such a big impact on so many peoples lives. Ashley was loving, kind and compassionate without a harmful bone in her body. To sum it all up she was awesome! For some people she was the voice of reason for others she helped them learn about themselves and how much good they have to offer. Today we celebrate her new life. Hopefully we could all take something from this. Lets not take people for granted, and love one another through actions and not just talk alone. Every chance you get let the people close to you know that you love them. I know she's in a better place now and to my angel that I know is watching down upon us you will never be forgotten and always in our hearts. Don't worry cause I promise that we'll take care of baby Jason. We love you Ashley...."

"May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead "

"rest in peace"

"rest in peace"

"It wont be the same not seeing you there. but we know that your spirit will be. Your in our hearts as you are to many who love you. "

"The last memories I have with you go back a few years. This is only because as our families grew older we grew apart but not by choice. Life took us down different paths. Family is still family and loosing you so early really hit me. Sometimes we never stop to fully think about something or someone until god forces us to. I still remember being a little kid and having get togethers at Titi elbas house. You were always closer to Amanda just because y'all were the same age. And of course I was the little one always following behind making sure not to be left out. I wish we could have still been around each other like old times. To watch each other grow up. I would have loved to still be a part of your life and meet your little boy which must I add he's gorgeous. He looks just like you And your memory will forever live through him. It saddens me to know that you once were always in my life pero por cosas de la vida I will not be able to share one more day with you. I miss you and I never had the chance to say it. They say the good die young but I still just can't wrap my hand around how in the blink of an eye someone's whole world can change. I love you dearly and I will carry a piece of you in my heart and in my memory. You will forever shine bright and at night when I look up at the stars I know you will be amongst them. You may not be with us in body but you will never be forgotten as your soul still roams around us. I now have a beautiful angel who will watch over me. Ill see you soon cus I love you 'ashhhhhhtrayyyyyy' muah muah muah muah. 'Even when they turn off my light I'm still going to shine' Alexis. Titi Clara. Amanda "

"I will always mis you ashley we werents too close but we were still friends. Remember gym class together when we were on the same team for valley ball you always were a good sport and a great person to be around. you always had a smile on your face that made everyone else smile even if they didn't want too. You were the life of our class but Now you are gone and there is nothing to say. Except one question why, did they take you away? You were a treasure; one of a kind. You had a lifetime ahead of you; now it's all left behind. This moment in our lives; we wish you to share. Can't hold back the tears; this moment I can't bare. One minute you were here; and now you are gone. Here with us is where you belong. But now you are watching us as you always will. With you in our memories; time stands still. But it's not a good bye it's a see you latter. You'll always be remember n kept in my heart "

"El cielo esta de fiesta porque llego un ángel llamado Ashley. Siempre te recordaremos por esa hermosa sonrisa que tuviste para todos nosotros, te vamos a extrañar. Aída Matos "

"I may have not taken the time to know you but I do know your uncle Jose and Natalie who will miss you dearly. We will keep them and you in our prayers always. May the guiding light keep you close to our hearts so that we can safe keep your son Jason. He will have us as another family that he can count on. Your friends at Bagelmania. a loving family"

"I cant believe that you are gone Ashley. I know we didnt really get to talk the last few years since our life had taken us in different directions but I will never forget you. I will always remember you living around the corner from me while we were growning up and all of good times that we had. I will miss you and never forget you. We will see each other again one day I know that now. "

"I will always remember you Ashely you were like another sister to me. All of those good time we spent together if it were in the beach or somewhere else we always had good times together you Dylan and me eating spicy Doritos all the time.But those good times will be never forgotten and will be always in my heart."

"You would always have a smile on your face , and now your smile will be forever, as now your a beautiful angel watching us all. You will be truly missed Joe."

"I sit around and wonder,and watch the days go by I look at all the pictures and ask, why did you have to die? you've always been there for me, because you were my best friend, and I was always there for you until the very end. But now it's time to let you go, your spirit now is free. Even though you won't really be gone, because you'll live inside of me. This is hardly a goodbye, so I won't weep anymore, because now you're in a better place then you ever were before. Even though that I will miss you, and I'll think about you everyday you'll always be my best friend, and that's all I have to say until we meet again baby face. "

"I know a lot of people might be feeling the same way as I am right now but words can't explain what feelings run through me since I got that phone call. Ashley...I love you so much and my body is still numb to the thought that you are gone. All of our memories run through my mind and I just keep telling myself "Why Lord? Why?" I would of traded places with you in a heart beat. I'm trying to stay strong because I know your not feeling anymore pain and your in a better place and I'm trying not to be selfish but it's so hard. I miss you so much. I sit at home watching our home videos that you, David and I use to do at dads house. And all the pictures we took together. You were such a goof ball and the light of every get together. And it kills me that Lil' Jason won't have you around to see what a wonderful person and mother you are. But I promise you Ashley that Jason is in good hands. I'll always be there if Jason needs anything and we will all make sure Jason knows how much you love him. Ashley I hope you are shinning down on us and I hope that you are by my side. What I wouldn't give to see you one last time. God took you way too soon. I love you Ash...sisters forever and ever. Till I see you again when we are finally home. I LOVE YOU ASHLEY!!! "

"Much love to you Ashely, We know your in a better place but you will never be forgotten. I pray God will comfort your loved ones. You hold a special place in peoples hearts and even though we havent seen eachother in a while, the effect of your loss really hit home. It only leads me to know you had a special place in my heart and my familys as well. WE LOVE YOU may you rest in peace"

You're 24th birthday! Little mini get together with ur dad hosting with such happiness and great energy! We got to catch up a little bit and I met ur gorgeous son...after that day I posted my knock off bags on FB and u liked my knock off purses and decided to buy one...so there I went, with all my knock offs to Uncle Al's while we run outside (sorry Jose!! Lol)..u with your little apron on, ur hair tied up, and a smile while ur table was all settled in and good to go for the next few minutes. U buy a bag...then it broke!oops...sorry.. Lol...I had the pleasure of returning again to see u days later for the exchange while u saw the other purses and planned ur next buy. Lol..ur too cute Ashley...we left off on keeping in touch and re establishing our childhood fun!! Ashley, u will always be remembered and although we went years without speaking, we both knew who we were and picked up right where we left off!!

"We Little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken & nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again. Unknown Author "
