Understanding Life ~
If I could help the pain of someone else,
Maybe I could relieve that pain within myself.
I finally understand it is not the strength of a man,
It is the wisdom and compassion that will make you stand.
I live for everything that I choose to believe,
And I strive to stay alive for every second I breathe...
Ashley Nicole StricklandThis memorial website was created to remember our dearest Ashley Nicole Strickland who was born in Jacksonville, FL on August 24, 1986 and passed away on May 4, 2007 in Nashville, TN. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
Ashley was a beautiful soul that came into our lives full of love and positive energy. She touched everyone she met and filled any room she entered with life and laughter! It is for that reason it is so very difficult to have lost such a Angel.
On May 3rd, Ashley was in a tragic accident and lost her fight the next day! To have someone ripped out of your life seems to be the most painful and difficult in losing a loved one. We struggle everyday with understanding God's plan, but do trust that He has one.
Very few people have ever understood each other the way my daughter and I did, and I know I will never meet another individual in my life as precious and as wonderful as Ashley. I can never thank her or our Lord enough for the blessings she gave during her short time with us.
