If a person is measured by the love they have inspired in others, then Ashleigh’s essence must surely burn brighter than a thousand stars.

What a wonderful gift to have the opportunity to share love with such a beautiful child.

May rays of sunshine remind you of the joy Ashleigh has brought so many lives.

Ashleigh taught us a lot. May she now be free to teach us more.

Such a short life. But what a large legacy.

 

 

 

To our dear Ashleigh, What a priceless gift you have been to us! Thank you so much for that smile on your lips and for your humour and for that look in those lovely eyes. Thank you for that amazing fighting spirit which you showed us in your struggle against all odds. Thank you for the love … You have brought Light into the world and you have inspired and affected so many in your short time with us …

 

So many lives have been touched by Ashleigh, although for one so small, she was large with love, strength and spirit.

With quiet grace your spirit showed me how to listen with my heart, how to understand when there were no words and how to love beyond all boundaries.

Thank you for beautiful memories and a shining hope for the future in you –

Ashleigh lives on in our lives and the people she has so clearly touched.

Love, like a beautiful song echoes on the heart even when the last note is silent.

I saw a great spirit, Ashleigh, released from its small weary body, and the spirit soared.

What a beautiful little girl – inside & out. We will all miss her.

… her special qualities will live on in our memories for ever.

Like a shaft of sunlight you brought a touch of warmth and joy into our lives. Your courage and humour humbled us. Our love for you will live for ever in our hearts

You have taught me so much… You have cheered me with your smiles, even when you were suffering… You have forgiven us when we have caused you pain. You’ve been strong & courageous. I know that after you leave, you will continue to touch all those you meet.

My dearest sweet Ashleigh, How does one say goodbye to such a special baby? You are an amazing woman! You’ve been through so much in such a short time – a time when you are so innocent & sweet!
