I would like to thank the colon club for all it has done for me and my wife. I know for a fact without this place her journey wouldn't have been near as long or as manageable as it was. To all the peeps juliej pturley brownbagget and bev and many more some who r gone now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Ashley was my best friend my lover my constant companion and now she gone. When Ashley was diagnosed she thumbed her nose stuck out her tongue and went skydiving. She never would let this disease every stop her from seeing the beauty n each day. Even in death she taught me how to live. To pull my pants up stop being a pussy and live like she did( her words)!!!!! None of us know our time and we can sit around thinking about it or start living!!! I'm so thankful to have a wife who left me with the tools to live on as she would have wanted.(I went skydiving 3days after she passed). Things I have decided I will not let her down! I will not let this disease steal my joy of life!
I will leave with the quote that best sums up her life that was read at her funeral.
far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure....
than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because the live in the grey twilight that knows not victory or defeat. T.d. roosevelt.
this is how I will live my life to honor you my love. You skydiving, whitewater paddled, caver little adventurer I miss you! you will always b able to look down on this earth and I'll b doing something to make u smile. Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you... Sweet dreams to leave all troubles behind you. Thanks so much colon club
