Ashley, like many addicts was a warm, loving, giving and funny person. She would give her last dollar to a stranger or her favorite item of clothing to someone in need. I remember when she came home from kindergarten one day and said “mommy, the school is asking us to donate our change from our lunch money to the children of 9/11 fund”. She proceeded to tell her father and I that she wanted to donate her piggy bank. It was a large glass Mickey Mouse piggy bank that had to be broken open, she could not even lift it. I asked her if she was sure she wanted to do that, I said, we could just give her money to bring to school. She replied with mommy those kids lost their parents, I have you and daddy. I have all I need! They need it more than I do. It brought tears to my eyes. The next day I took her and her piggy bank to school and she donated it to the fund. Ashley died 2 years to the day that she started using heroin. She tried for 22 of those months to quit using heroin and could never find her way out for good. I know she would want others to learn from her death. She tried to help others even when she couldn’t help herself. 9/25/1996- 12/20/2016.
