Comments
I am deeply sorry for your loss,
My prayers are with your entire family.
It is apparent that Ashely touched so many people’s lives. She is now wearing her angels wings. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family.
The the Van Wingerden family – my prayers are with your family. I am sorry I never met Ashley. I had the privledge of knowing Jake because he was my son’s soccer coach last year. I am very sorry for your loss.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this difficult time.

I have been praying for your family and have a heavy heart but in much prayer for you.
Ashley has touched the lives of people who have never even met her, through people who love her so very much. I’m a friend of Rachel’s and I am so very sorry for your loss.
What a beautiful young lady…
Thank you for posting “I Can Only Imagine” and the other services. My prayer is that it leads to healing for those who love and will miss her, and that it may bring comfort to everyone who is mourning.
Jake and Wendy, I am so so so very sorry, I truly wish I was able to have known Ashley longer than I did. You and yours are in my prayers. What a joy it is to know we serve a God in whom we will, one day, all be reunited in His presence, all of us glorifying His name together.
God bless you Ashley. You are loved…missed and you continue to change lives
Jake and Wendy, I grieved for you when we first heard the news of Ashley’s death and couldn’t even imagine what pain you were going through. As I watched the service and the video of her life, I felt like I knew her. It’s a real tribute to you to have raised such a wonderful girl who radiated the love of Jesus to everyone she met. We continue to ask God to hold you close and comfort you. (Wendy, I babysat for you and Gwen when your mother went back to work after you were born)
Very sorry for your loss. We can not imagine the pain you are going through. You are in our thoughts.
I went to school with Ashley I am not sure she remebered me. I wasnt ever close to her but she knew I was her friend. I am spreading the word about my dear friend Ashley. I remeber excactly how old she was even days. I miss her so much.
ashley is my very best friend and i love her and her family. i cry and i dont always know why god chose her to go. but i know she is with the lord.And i pray for her family and even for those who i dont know.If any of the vanwingerdans read this i want you to know i love you so so so so much and i pray for you and i hope you liked your valentine card.
with true love,
Kelly
I forgot to say she touched and truly truly blessed me. Trust in the lord because he has done everything for a reason.
