In Memory Of
Ashley Dawn
Blevins
Sept. 29, 1988 - Mar. 16. 2007
In loving memory of our beau
tiful girl on her 29th birthday. We
would like you to take a moment
and just remember. Perhaps you remember her beauty,
her heart, her will, her spirit, her loving and mischie
vous ways, or maybe her contagious smile and laugh.
There isn’t a single moment that goes by that we don’t
love her and miss her terribly. We always will.
As we remember her, we can’t help but remem
ber the tragic events of that day. Teen crashes are the
#1 killer of our teens. Please don’t speed and always
wear your seatbelt. Please take a moment and go to
http://www.tvip.org Teen Victim Impact Program that
is based right here in Georgia and share this informa
tion with your teen. It may save their life and your
heart. As always please pray for our teen community.
Pray that they know and trust in our Heavenly Father,
pray for their safety out on our roadways. Also please
pray for our First Responders, my heart goes out to
them everyday. A prayer and a simple thank you to
let them know how much we do appreciate them. It
would brighten their day. Let’s lift our community in
prayer. Believe in God, Faith and the Power of Prayer.
God carries us, prayers lifts and comfort us. As always
our Faith in God will get us through. Thank you and
God Bless.
With many prayers and much love,
Cindy Blevins
