ashley

This is Ashley, my 15-year old youth who, after a nearly three year battle with cancer, yesterday afternoon entered heaven, where "He will wipe every tear from her eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. And He who was seated on the throne said, 'Look! I am making all things new!'" -Revelation 21: 3-4



But here on this mountain, God-of-the-Angel-Armies
will throw a feast for all the people of the world...
And here on this mountain, God will banish
the pall of doom hanging over all peoples,
The shadow of doom darkening all nations.
Yes, he'll banish death forever. - Isaiah 25: 6-7

Ashley is beautiful and now no pain for her - just for those she left behind who were fortunate to have had her in their lives. You created a nice tribute here for her! mom

I can't imagine what I'd do if one of my after school girls passed away. My sympathies to you and her family.
