Stephen, I just want to say how honored I am to have met both of you. You two experienced more in your time together than most and your zest for life, living it to the fullest was/is palpable. I know you will continue to celebrate your life and I am so thankful to read what you wrote. You will always be surrounded by Ashley's love and energy.

Light and love to you Stephen. Soar in sweet peace, Ashley.

Ashley's fight was one we followed closely (from afar), and we are thinking out you both today Stephen. This hits close to home especially because of your young age and Ashley's treatment. Continue to live life to the fullest, as she did so well. Love all around
