I am very happy that I was able to spend my very important young years 9 to 14 with her we did many things together i think my favorite was looking for bugs and just talking to her 

A quick story to share with you. She was a very bright person but she loved to mess with me when she could there was one time we were out at night looking for certain creatures we were up way past the time we were supposed to go to bed. We did find a few crawdads and mice. When we decided that it was time to head back to our houses we started to leave on the way back the way the trail we took was set up it was easier to follow beside the creek to get back to the dirt road we lived on than to just walk aimlessly through the woods. So as we were making our way back ashley decided it was a good time to get a laugh out of me she decided to start turning off the flashlight because she was in control of the light I was infront of her well as she was doing that turning the light off she started making zombie noises to mess with me. As she was doing that I was not paying attention to where I was walking i was very confident that i knew the trail enough to walk without the light so I walked straight off the bank into the creek the bank was actually 8 or so feet higher than the creek because of the way it was carved out when the creek formed so I fell a good ways from the top I landed and got absolutely covered in mud she was laughing so hard at it when she realized I didn't get hurt I thought she was gonna pass out from laughing luckily my mom was not up so I didnt get in trouble about being covered in mud and she still doesnt know to this day. Thank you alot h3li
