This echos the sentiments of another day… Ashton McDuff, so precious, so pure…

The words of this world are never quite enough
When speaking the aches of the heart.
But although they may be a frail expression,
These words form our greatest memorial
When we share the life of one so beloved.

Each memory that Ashton left behind
Is like a rose peddle which fell from her soul.
And though she walked upon this earth but a moment,
Her unmistakable touch ripples beyond the bounds of time.

Through the countless tears
Of pain, and loss, and grief,
We can grasp onto the hope the Creator has given
And know that we can say goodbye with hope
Because we know our goodbye is not the end.

For there’s a place on the other side of the sky
Free of this world’s uncertainty and doubt
Where we will walk together someday
And see her face again.
