Ashley Victoria Jean Wolpert

Sitting on the patio this morning watching my butterfly bush, and just like many years ago sitting at your final resting place, the butterflies are doing their dance.........I can only help but think that it is you coming to say hello and to let us know you are OK.  
Another year gone by today and still cannot forget that night.......I'm thinking of your mom and dad today, and John and Alex as well.  All of our lives changed that day, but especially theirs and I can't help but wonder how things would have been had that tragedy  not occurred.  You have gained quite a few angels with you over the past years, and I know you have your heavenly family with you ---- they know how much we love and miss you!  Baby girl has grown so much over the past years......and now a high school student!  Life is going by way too quickly!  Love and miss you more than you know! <3<3<3 

Here it is ,,another year flies by and we are still sending our love and birthday wishes to you. I think about how it would have been if you were not taken from us at age 21,,to see you and your beautiful daughter, Alexandria, do all those mommy & daughter things together...I know I feel cheated out of seeing this, as do many others, especially Alex, but I guess we should be thankful that we still have a part of you still with us,,,don't we...your Alex is a trip and she's just like you,,keeping up with her is fun and she is doing really well ,,living with her big family...but I'm sure you know this...AVJW.

Another year has gone by.....time is moving so quickly in this world.  Another angel has joined you in heaven yesterday......he was so young and full of life just like you.......and another senseless death.  I think of his parents just like I’m thinking about yours today, knowing that their hearts are torn wishing you were here.  Your baby girl is still growing, and is far from being a baby anymore........she will have her first year on the hill in September......it seems like only yesterday that she was standing on the kitchen chair helping to make pizzas and singing her favorite Elmo song.  Watch down over us today just a little extra........and help Blake find his place in heaven.......send some comfort and peace to his parents like I know you do to yours..........love you ever, ever always❤️

Ashley ---- I can hardly believe that ten years has gone by since you've left us.  Memories of that day are scarred in all of our hearts, and while the pain may slowly go away bit by bit, you are never forgotten.  My heart aches for your mom and dad today; a parent should never lose their child.  My heart also aches for Alex as she never really got to know her mommy --- but everyone shares their memories of you with her --- she knows that you love her and are with her always.  Alex is growing up into such a beautiful young lady ---- so full of fire and life, just like you!  She's almost as tall as I am ---- and quite the string bean...........you would be so proud of her!  I think of you, and especially in the last few weeks since my butterfly bush is in bloom.........I see the butterflies flocking to the flowers and just know that you and all of our other loved ones are coming for a visit.......love you ever, ever always!  I hope you are dancing up there <3 <3

Ashley,

Another year has gone by and another birthday being celebrated in heaven ---- I know you have quite a good crew up there to celebrate with, and if I had to guess, Pap (my dad) is making you the bestest cake possible and sitting beside you with a beer in hand LOL  We all miss you terribly ---- Alex is growing up way too fast and is playing basketball and softball.  She just went to her first school dance and looked so beautiful.  Jarod has grown way way tall and is now at 6'5" --- in college and getting ready to play his first college baseball season --- he even has a starting spot at catcher and pitcher!  I'm hoping someday to be sitting in a skybox at one of those big stadiums.  Your picture is with him wherever he goes.  Gab is now a married lady and getting ready to graduate college --- and she'll be moving to San Diego in May with her hubby.  My life has changed a lot since these kids all grew up.........it's not the same without them all around every day, and it has definitely never been the same since you've left us.  As I have always told Alex, "love you ever ever always"........you are always in our hearts.  Watch over everyone (especially your Mom) and keep us safe..........Happy Birthday sweetie! <3 

Ashley, not a day goes by that there isn't something that reminds me of you. It takes me back to the days where you were always at the house making fun of me for something! I will never forget the day you made fun of my ashy elbows lol. I make sure to put on lotion every morning to not disapoint you (; Since you've been gone, I've been accepted into college and am currently a sohpomore majoring in education. Hopefully one day I can teach children how to live life to the fullest, like you always did. Continue to watch over the crazy lindenberger family! We love and miss you very much! <3

Ashley ----- another year has gone by and it still just seems unreal that you aren't here with us...........Corn Boy was all but 9 when you went to heaven and just a little guy ---- now he's 18 and quite a handsome (and very tall) young man headed off to college......Gab is about to get married next week ---- and Alex is quite the young lady.  How I wish you were still here with us to give them all a hug, dance around at the reception, and squeeze your corn boy tight as he goes off to his next journey in life.........Miss and love you lots........

It's hard to believe yet another year has gone by without seeing your smile or hearing you laugh.......I wonder at times how things would be if you were still on earth here with us.......Alex has gotten so big and is a great big sister to Avery, she would make you beyond proud!  Everytime I look at her I see more and more of you everyday, and cannot thank God enough that you and John brought her into this world and into our lives........my baby girl means so much and it just makes my heart hurt to know that you aren't here to see what we get to see in her.  My butterfly bush is planted in the backyard and that thing is growing like a weed.......yesterday there were tons of butterflies and all I could think of was you and your friends from above (and Pap too!) were coming for a visit..........miss and love you everyday, but especially today! <3

love you mommie

I'm sitting here watching a butterfly outside of my office window and cannot help but think of you.........it's hard to believe you left our lives seven years ago today......you would be so proud of Alex and how she is growing up......and you would be proud of John too for stepping up to the plate and being such a great dad.  Most guys would have fallen apart and left her care to others, but not him..........he and Emily do not left her forget you ever and I'm sure she will be out there today (or may have already been) for a visit with you.  Love and miss you terribly.........and wish more than anything else in this world that you could be here with us watching Alex.  Keep watch over her from your clouds above.........and everytime that butterfly flutters by I know that you are here.  <3<3

Ashley ----- at the time I'm writing this your darling daughter is dancing in the aisles on one of the bestest dates she will ever have in the whole world......Daddy got her tickets to see "her" Justin Beiber.  I'm sure by now John's got earplugs firmly in place.....Aunt Becky made sure she looked like a superstar with hair, makeup, nails and a new outfit (including a new JB shirt --- and she didn't even get the hint!).......wish you were here to see that toothless grin when Daddy handed her the tickets......it was absolutely priceless!  Watch over her today during her special "date" with Daddy.......and give JB a little extra oomph to make it unforgettable for her.  <3
 

Just wishing you were here to see Alex practicing her spelling words......it's so hard to believe that she's in the first grade and so far so good!  Watch over her.......and help her get that 100% on her test she wants!  lol  <3<3
 

It's hard to believe that five years have gone by without us hearing your voice or seeing that pile of curls bouncing on the top of your head ---- in three weeks Alex will be starting first grade!  She has grown up so quickly and we all wish you were here to see and go through all of those "firsts" that we are sharing with her.......Corn Boy will be a freshman this year, and Gab is off to college.  We all love and miss you so much......you are forever in our hearts and each time I see a butterfly I cannot help but think of you flying free watching over all of us.  

I love Love you Mommie and miss you everyday but I am being a good girl as I grow up. You are so pretty & I am glad that you are my Mommie. xxoxooxoxoxooxoxxxxxooooxoxoxo! Love Alexandria

Seashells remind us that every passing life leaves something beautiful behind, and I thank you Ashley for being my only child who was the joy of my life and giving the world the most precious gift, your daughter ALEXANDRIA. She has your eyes and personality and those who meet her will see you as she smiles. I love you. ^i^

I miss you Mommie and love you so much!  When I see the moon I know that you are watching me and I am a good girl....I send lots of kisses to you...

Halloween and Trick or Treat is just around the corner and Alexandria is starting to look like a little jack-o-lantern with all those front teeth missing!  Watch for her in this year's parade........can't tell you what she's going to be doing yet.....it's a surprise! 

I'm looking at the clock and already thinking back to that day......and the shock and heartache when that call came.  We miss you so much......Corn Boy is a young man now and he misses you everyday....he carries your A keyfob as a good luck charm.  Alex is such a beauty......thank you and John for giving us such a wonderful gift to cherish......kindergarten is just a few weeks away, I can't believe how the time has flown.  Be free like the butterflies......I think of you everytime I see one.....love and miss you much!

LOVE YOU MOMMIE :)

  Having read some of the posts on line about the death of my daughter, Ashley,,,I must address two of the comments made about it....from "concerned 102 " & " sunshine 07 "....Yes we do know that all of the girls were drinking that night but the only one responsible for this is the DRIVER.....Did Ashley & Stoo really know how much Kristi was drinking that night, or how long she was out at Hot Z,s drinking & what was she drinking??? No, they did not because Ashley drove herself & friends out there & just happen to see Kristi there.....They weren't even together, Kristi & Ashley, that night....just happen to see each there,,,,,so, maybe Kristi should not have accepted two more passengers in her car that night, knowing how incapable she was in her abilitly to drive back into Columbia, going 70mph down Rt. 462..there was no argument or fight in that car during the ride into Columbia,,,,testimony had been heard by two witnesses who saw how fast the car was being driven & how no break lights were applied once the car was on the sidewalk by the bank, driving staight into the block retaining wall....If a fight was going on in the car....don't you think that the driver would have pulled over & told whoever was fighting to stop or get out....Had my daughter been involved in a fight with Amanda, who was sitting in the front passagner seat, Ashley would have gone through the windshield, face first and she would have had traumatic facial injuries, like Amanda or Stoo, who was behind the driver getting her face crushed by the seat....No, Ashely was thrown from the back seat, between the two front seats and hit her head either on the dash board or steering wheel....When I saw my daughter at the hospital that night, she had no facial injuries, only a small cut on the upper part of her forehead, no other cuts...The doctors confirmed that Ashley was thrown forward, hit her head on the dash or steering wheel and ruptured internal organs causing her death...I do wish Kristi well, which I do know she is doing the best she can,,,and she will live with this for the rest of her life, as we all will....but in truth,,,,any driver of a vehicle, who has passengers in their car, is the only ONE who is in control of that machine....the girls put their trust and life into Kristi's ability to drive that night, regardless of their decision to jump into Krisiti's car...Once they were in, Kristi was RESPONSIBLE, 100%...
