Ashley passed away peacefully in my arms this evening at 9:25pm. She was visited and blessed by our priest this morning. Our hospice nurse was on hand throughout the afternoon and well into the evening to ensure her comfort. Adrian held her for hours and she amazed us all because her heart continued to beat so strong despite the fact that her breaths were very shallow. It gave us great comfort to be with her, holding her, as she passed. It also gave us great comfort to know that she is finally at rest with her Grandmother Lilia and Great Grandmother Jessie in heaven.

Funeral details will be forthcoming. However, I can share with you the name and address of the funeral home and our church.

Dear Claudia & family,
Oh if there were words that could properly express my deepest sympathies to you right now…but there are no words that could say it all. May your sweet, strong Ashley rest in peace. What a gift she was to you, and all of you to her. My prayers, my love, my heart is with you and your family.

You don’t know me but I learned about your daughter through our good friends, the Ganz Family. I have prayed for your family since Michelle posted your site a couple months ago. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Ashley was a beautiful little girl. There are no words that will probably comfort you now because no one should lose a child, but please, if it helps,know that my heart aches for you and I will continue to pray for your family during this very difficult time.

Claudia, Adrian and Lindsey – My heart aches for all of you. Your loss of such a precious little girl is unimaginable and my family continues to pray for you and Ashley as she now finds a sense of peace in Heaven. I hope through all of this, the memories that you made with her, will help give you comfort and healing every day. I am deeply sorry and while no words will ever be able to make the ache go away, please know that Ashley touched so many lives and made each of us better people because of it. We love you and will continue to pray for your family.

So sorry Claudia, Adrian and Lindsey .We will see you all soon. Love to you all from Cleveland Family.

Claudia and family – It broke my heart to hear of Ashley’s passing. I still have so much hope for you and your family – that you feel everyone’s love and support through this, that you know how many lives Ashely has touched by the site of all the posts here and elsewhere, and that you lean on your friends and family. Much love and hope – marcia (leal), paul and penelope radja.

Oh Claudia and family.
I am so sorry. Ashley was such a fighter, and went through so much at such a young age.
Much love,
Sarah

May God comfort and hold you cradled in his arms as you grieve this deep, deep loss … a reflection of you, as you cradled your precious little Ashley into Christ’s waiting arms. My heart reaches out to you as you bear this unimagineable loss. Love, Barb

Claudia, Adrian, & Lindsey,
We were so fortunate to have had Ashley touch our lives, even if it was for such a short time. We will always remember her special smile, gentleness, and, wonderful determination. We will miss her greatly in class. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

“Watch over our LOVED ONES wherever they may be.” Just one of the things we say in our family prayers, since so many of us are spread so thin & far away at times throughout our lives. Nevertheless,we are REALLY only a THOUGHT or a HEARTBEAT away when we just close our eyes & go to that special place where only ourselves hold the key to. GOD BLESS YOU ASHLEY!!! WE LOVE YOU PRECIOUS!!! Its truely a blessing to have your beautiful face to think of every night.Sweet Dreams Mi Amor. Claudia, Adrian & Lindsey, Our prayers & hearts are w/ you ALL!

Dearest Claudia, Adrian and Lindsey – my heart aches for all of you; for the loss of such a precious little girl is unimaginable; I will continue to pray for all of you. I hope you find peace knowing she’s walking joyously in Heaven with our Lord.

Dear Constantino Family,
I do not know you, nor do you know me…..but I am so saddened to read your dear, sweet, brave Ashley has passed. I pray God blesses you with the peace that passes all understanding. There are some things in life that are beyond comprehension and understanding.

I found this site some time ago when I was searching for college volleyball statistics on my own daughter, who shares the same name….Ashley Constantino. And from I have read it seems my Ashley has much of the same temperament — determined, strong, courageous with gazing eyes and a smile to melt your heart.

I wish I could conjur up the right words of comfort (which I’m usually pretty good at)…..but I know there is nothing I can say to ease the ache in your heart.

Please know your story, Ashley’s story, has touched many…..far and wide.

I offer our sincerest condolences and prayers.

So very sorry for your loss. I hope you will find peace and may the grace of God bless you and your family throughout this difficult time. Your beautiful daughter was an angel here on Earth and is now an angel in heaven watching over the ones she loves. God Bless You!
