Ashlee, You helped me more than I think you ever knew, and you have made a lasting impression on my life. I am so so sad that you are gone, but happy that you are now at peace. I remember the last time we talked. We hadn't seen each other in a long time, and you called me and we talked for hours. Even though it had been a while, and we were 8 hours away from each other, it was like we just saw each other yesterday. I miss you so much and hate that we Will never get to have those talks again. Love you Ashlee, rest in peace

Ashlee was such a sweet girl. She always worried about others. I knew she was a special person the first time I met her. It breaks my heart that she has gone so soon. I had hoped and prayed she would see her own beauty. Rest in peace Ashlee.

Ashlee, my heart is truly saddened by your passing. But I take comfort in knowing that your heart and soul are now at peace. You were a true friend and you thrived on making people happy and making sure we all laughed and wore a smile everyday. Words cannot even begin to explain how big of a heart you had and the love you had for your family and friends was and always will remain inspiring. You were true to everyone and im going to miss your beautiful face and that contagious laugh. Rest peacefully my dear friend and this isn't goodbye but until we meet again you will truly be missed and never forgotten!!!!

To know Ashlee; was to know love, laughter, and true kindness... With a little bit of stubbornness mixed in there too! Ashlee really had the biggest, most loving and giving heart of anyone I have ever known. I know she will be missed by many, and my deepest condolences and prayers go out to all of Ashlee's family! Ashlee, Words can't begin to express the sadness I feel about you leaving this earth way too soon. But I take comfort in knowing that you're finally at peace now. I know there will be a day when our souls cross paths again... And until that day comes, I will continue to miss you and love you always, friend!

I met Ashlee just recently through her brother, Joshua. I was struck by her love and devotion to him and her family. I had the honor and privilege of holding her hand and saying a prayer with her. I wish I had spent more time with her and known her a bit better. My prayers, love, and sympathy go out to this dear family. May God comfort you ALL. May He give you peace.

Ashlee I still can't believe you are gone from this earth but I know you are in peace now and God has one of his best angels with him now. I sure do miss talking to you and although I would get upset sometimes when you would ask me for money I wish you were here to ask me for some money now because I miss everything about you. You will remain in my heart always !

She was a friend from first conversation. Super funny and silly. Huge huge heart, and loved her family more than anything. I remember that's what she talked about most. Heaven is so lucky to have her. R.I.P and God bless

What our families say...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
