I have so many memories with her and I will miss the opportunity to make new memories in the future! I love you Ashley! Rest easy sweetheart. You’re a great girl!

    I was stationed in Germany with Ashley and we became good friends as we were both from Indiana. I just now 4 years later heard what happened and my heart is broken for her son Ben and the rest of her family. She was so goofy, sweet, and caring. I would watch Harry Potter frequently with her just to kill time in the barracks. I have many wonderful memories with her. The last time I had spoken with her was in 2017 and I regret not staying in better touch. She was such an awesome person and always knew how to make you laugh! I will keep Ben and her family in my thoughts as I can’t imagine what they are still going through.
