Ashlei Mone' Tookes was a loving young lady, who was cherished with love by her friends and family. We know that no matter what she will always be with us. When life separates us we'll know it is only your soul saying goodbye to your body, but your spirit will be with us always. When we see a bird chirping on a nearby branch, we will know it is her singing to us. When a butterfly brushes gently by us so care freely, we will know it is Ashlei assuring us that she is free and has become a link in the family's heavenly chain. When the gentle fragrance of a flower catches our attention, we will know it is my loved one reminding me to appreciate the simple things in life. When the sun shining through our window awakens us, we will feel the warmth of her love. When we hear the rain pitter patter against our window sill, we will hear her precious words of wisdom. And we will remember what she taught us so well...That without rain trees cannot grow. Without rain flowers cannot bloom. Without life's challenges we could not grow strong. When we look out to the sea, we will think of Ashlei endless love for her family. When we think of mountains, their majesty and magnificence, we will think of her courage for her country. No matter where we are, Ashlei spirit will be beside us. For we know that no matter what she will always be with us. Ashlei Mone' Tookes will be truly missed by a host of relatives and friends. Psalms 119:105
