My friend Ashley…
Many of you have followed Ashley’s story since I originally shared about her back in 2011.
(Ashley and I in spring of 2010)
If you aren’t familiar with Ashley's story, please visit both of these links to read about her.
Sadly, I must share with you ~ My dear and precious friend, Ashley, went to be with The Lord on March 15, 2013 at exactly 5:00am. She fought a courageous seven year battle with metastatic melanoma. She is finally at peace, no more nasty tumors, no more pain. It was a surreal experience to witness her last breaths along side her loving parents, Bob and Karen Trenner ~ I am truly blessed to have known Ashley Trenner for the past 30 years of my life. I am sharing her story so that no one else ever has to endure such pain – I truly believe her story will save lives.
If you would be so inclined to post something on your Blog / Facebook and share with your readers – It would mean so to me personally that you share her legacy.
xoxo, tracie

SO BEAUTIFUL, so young, this is justr tragic, I am so sorry.
May you find comfort and peace with your Faith in God - may she be pain free and happy now.
Rest in Peace, dear beautiful Ashley.
I lost my best friend to breast cancer when she was only 41...with two young daughters.....she bravely fought for 7 years too. I think I know a little of your pain, and I surely hurt for you at this time.
Blessings to you all.
May Ashely's struggle not be in vain- spread the word for sure.
Hugs, big sisterly loving hugs.
I hope she can learn something!
Its wonderful of you to share her story and keep her memory going! What a great friend. It so sad to loose a friend
Hugs!
I think it is so important to get her story out so that more young women may be saved from this type of cancer!!
My prayers go out to you and her dear family!
Sincerely,
Melinda
It saddens me that we have lost such a cherished life on this earth.
How beautiful the two of you are in the image you post today.
How comforting for her parents to have you there by her side when she passed.
I will go to your facebook page and spread the word.
May your faith in God and your memories ease the pain at this time.

I have shared on FB.
My father died of melanoma after a brave three year battle. It started on his skin on his side and moved to his brain.
I have never been a sun worshipper, and hope dear Ashley's story will change help people see the dangers of tanning.
Bless you
~Becca~
May your memories keep her with you always.
Extra big hugs.

I pray that people read your story and understand the dangers of sun beds. I live in New Zealand and our sun alone is a killer here with many melanoma deaths. My mother had metastatic breast to bone cancer, sadly she never had a mammogram. I would like to encourage women to have mammograms regularly because if my mother had one she would still be here today weeding her garden and sharing her love and laughter with her friends.
Thank you for sharing I pray for comfort for you and Ashleys family, it will hurt for a long time but she is no longer suffering or in pain but that doesn't compensate us, I would have my mum back in a flash and care for her all over again if I could but that would be selfish of me.

HUGS!
I don't have a blog to put I posted it on Facebook.
Hope it helps.
My sympathies for your loss.
Love
Cris
Thank you for letting me know...you have blessed me in the fact that you have now allowed me to pray for peace and comfort for her family and friends. My prayers for you to find closure and comfort in losing your good friend.

Her spirit will live on, in great friends like you.
Love and wishes..xx
So very sorry for the loss of Ashley. I am praying for you and her family.
hugs

Prayers to you and for her family.
I'm so sorry to hear you lost your beloved friend Ashely. Melanoma is a terrible disease. I hope her story will help to save some other lives.
I will keep you and Ashely's family in my prayers.
