She was however, especially close to Amy, Suzie, Amanda, Michelle, Shaneen, Irene and Allison. Everyone will miss her terribly. Ashley was born in Winnipeg at the St. Boniface Hospital on June 3, 1981 at 3:19 p.m. She grew up in Elmwood and East Kildonan, attending River Elm, George V, Salisbury Morse Place, John Henderson and Kildonan East Schools. She was currently attending the Adult Education Centre to obtain her grade 12 with plans of attending university. Ashley loved life! She was so excited and happy about many things. She loved her son Jayden with all her heart and was a wonderful mother to him, including him in all her plans, taking him places and teaching him about life. We will keep her memory alive for him. Ashley had many gifts and talents. She played the piano, sang country songs and was learning to play the guitar. On Christmas Day she learned the chords for "Midnight Special" from her grandfather and then sang and played it for all of us. She had a special gift for bringing people together and often had friends and family over or took Jayden and went to visit. She kept in touch with her old friends while making new ones. She was a bright, shining star. Ashley had her hard times too and was figuring out her life but she never let things get her down for long. She relied on her family and friends for support. Ashley was very close to her mother and brothers, living in the same apartment building, just one floor down. She and Jayden often came up to visit and have meals or had her family down for her lovely chicken or hamburger soup she had recently learned to make. We miss her so much already but are grateful for the many wonderful memories of our beautiful daughter and sister. She will always be loved and remembered. Thanks to the doctor and nurses at the Percy E. Moore Hospital for their efforts to revive her and those who assisted at the scene. Many thanks to all our relatives and friends for their love and support at this very difficult time. Pallbearers will be her cousins: Michael, Craig, Daniel, Ambrose, Adam and Shelby. Honorary Pallbearers will be Amy, Suzie, Amanda, Michelle, Shaneen, Allison, Krystle, Melanie and Kevin.
