Ashley, in the blink of an eye you've become the most beautiful and loving young lady! It's hard for us to believe that you are twenty one and in your third year at UCF. Our hearts swell with pride hearing you talk about your dreams and passions. We are so very proud of the choices you are making. Continue to keep your heart and mind and eyes focused on the things that matter most in life.

Blessings Beyond Measure

This site is dedicated to our family - Kim, Darryl, Ashley, Brittany, Kristen, Dean, Joey and Cody. You enrich our lives with your love, warmth and passion -- you add purpose and meaning to our existence. We are rich in memories and blessed beyond measure.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)
