This was by far the hardest thing I have ever been through. Seeing my family go through this pain was hard seeing this beautiful young lady who was raised as my (grand daughter) and I love and cared for her;her whole short life. Was the worst! I wanted to traid places with her. She deserves to be here with her beautiful daughter,she deserves to have a long life,she deserved so much more. She was a beautiful person. And I just don’t understand why her life was cut short. I’m praying for my family as I know they are in so much pain from the loss and that will never leave them. She will always be in our hearts on our minds and in our souls she could never be forgotten ever. Rest easy sweet girl your family misses you so very much. They have a precious gift from you and will take care of her just as they did you keep an eye on them and help them get through this. We love you Ashley Taylor King Love mum mum Tresa Baker/pop pop Bill
