Rest In Peace Ashley B.

I first met you in 4th period U.S. History last year. It was my first year and your first year at Terry. You came in second semester as the new kid in town and you looked amazing with you smile :-). You came in and sat down in the first dest in the last row. You looked nervous and were very quiet. I didn't really talk get a chance to talk to you for that semester but you became pretty comfortable around everyone else for the end of the year. Now that it is our senior year at Terry, I got q better chance to get to know you and I have you in two classes and I see you at lunch. When Ms. Pritchard assigned me as director of the children's show "The Odyssey of Jeremy Jack" and you were auditioning for the role "Louis 'Lou' The Lizard", I saw so much potential and joy inside of you! you had "I'm so excited and confident!" written all over your face, and I was eager to see you perform. In my head I thought "Whoa this girl is amazing! no wonder why she's in theatre, and she definitely deserves this role!" When auditions was over, and I called out the roles and the joy on your face was amazing, I knew you were gonna be very pleased and ready to take on the role. Spending my time rehearsing with you and your cast mates was the best, you always knew what to do, and you delivered your best! :-D. When you performed, I felt like a proud mother. Seeing you onstage with your green, black, and glittered costume really gave me butterflies. ;-) You were a very talented, beautiful, & a intelligent girl! I really admired your work ethic, and your creativity :-) When I heard the devastating news, my heart locked and I was in total shock. It really hurt me to hear a good person to go on such short notice. I can't believe that you are gone and I really miss you. You are apart of the theatre family, and apart of me :-). I really wish that I would have gotten closer with you, but I will always and forever admire the bond and friendship that I've had with you. I know that you're in a better place, and I'll see you soon.

Rest In Peace Ashley <3
