I was traveling out West when I received the news about Ashlee. My heart is broken for you, and for this world. She had so much to offer and such a bright future. As much as we needed her here the LORD needed her more in Heaven. I know she is serving Him there today as she served Him here while she was still with us. She was one of the brightest most conscientious students I have ever taught. She brightened my day every day she was in my class. Please know that I am praying for your family. I feel so blessed to have known Ashlee.

- Sue Anderson Walea, Garden City, GA

Kraft and Blackston Family, I can't begin to tell you how upset I was to hear about Ashlee. I have been out of town. My family did not want to tell me b/c they knew what Ashlee and your family mean to me. If Chloe turns out to be half the young lady Ashlee was I will be so pleased. She was so AWESOME to my children. I will miss her so much. She and Dr. Bob are in heaven laughing. I would trade places in a heart beat. I love yall and sorry I haven't been here for you. Gods Peace, Biza

To the Kraft Family, I had just gotten to meet Ashlee when I got involved with the BCM over the past couple of semesters.

It seems like just yesterday day we were all on the soccer field together. I know that Ashlee was very special to Krissy. She appreciated all the special things that Ashlee did for her to make her senior year special during soccer and volleyball season. After I heard I pulled out the 2 scrapbooks that Ashlee made for Kris her senior year and just felt such an overwhelming sadness for you and your loss. Ashlee will always be remembered.

To the Kraft Family, I went to college with Ashlee and although I only knew her for about a year, she was an absolute treasure. She had a smile that lit up a room and she always showed the love of Jesus. She'll be missed on Earth, but she is home now, praising God forever. I may not be able to make the funeral, so I wanted to properly send my condolences. I have been praying for you for the past few days and will certainly continue. To be such an awesome person, I'm certain Ashlee had a truly wonderful family.

All were blessed to have Ashlee in their lives.

- Linda S. Harris, Americus, GA

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Kraft and family, I had the blessing of working with Ashlee on several Chrysalis Flights. From the moment I met her, I knew she was a special young lady with a passion for Christ. She was an awesome servant and never seemed to want to be in the forefront but rather quietly serve. She will always be loved by those of us who knew her and served with her. I will miss seeing her smiling face and her sneaking up in a crowd to give me a hug. I will always remember her as a precious, tender hearted, highly competitive, lovable, hard working, joyful, young lady who made an impact on those who were blessed to know her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you comfort and strength. Chip Strickland Pastor, Guyton United Methodist

We spent so much time talking about photography and she took some wonderful photographs. My heart is breaking today as I think of her big smile.

Mr and Mrs Kraft and family, I went to school with Ashlee at VSU and we both shared some amazing times at the BCM on campus. I am from Savannah and played soccer with Ashlee, so coming to Valdosta and seeing a familiar face was definately a gift from God, especially when I did not know anyone at the time. Little did I know how much better I would come to know Ashlee and love her as a sister in Christ. She has been an amazing friend in the time that I have gotten to know her better, and although we are sad, I know that she is dancing with her Jesus in Heaven. I pray that God would give your family comfort through this difficult time. I love you all. Randi Taylor

Mr. and Mrs. Kraft, Ashlee was very dear to my heart. We developed a special bond at her first volleyball camp before 6th grade. That friendship grew over several years and extended to my daughter, Bess. Ashlee was a special person with a tremendous heart. In 8th grade, her class would get her to ask me if they wanted to do something, because they knew she could get me to say yes. She has touched so many people in that same way. My heart goes out to you and your family at this time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
