What a great girl Ashley was. I worked with her for years at Easter Seals and remember her leaving and me not knowing where she went. Then, years later, I come to work for ChildServe and find that she is at one of the homes. I was very excited! She was always so much fun at camp. Kim, I know that I didn't know you well but you had such a great daughter. She will always be on my heart and my sympathy is extended to you. You did such a great job with Ashley!
