Ashley, I am thinking of you during this difficult time. I meant to write earlier this week but it didn&&single&&t happen but know you have been on my mind all week. Losing a dad is hard. I am also thinking of your mom and brother during this difficult time as well. Losing a dad and a husband are both hard as I have experienced both. So I feel for you all. Thank you Ashley for working for me when I was needing to go to appointments with my future husband.It was appreciated then and it is still appreciated today seven years later. My heart broke for you when I heard the news on monday about your dad.
