This is the last post
Hi everybody,
This is Hana, Ashley's wife. I am sorry to tell you but Ashley passed away this morning, Wed. April 2, 2002 in Florida.
Everybody who loved him and whom he made laugh, please pray for him and his children.
Things are going to be a little crazy now as I have no fucking idea what to do. Pardon the profanity but I guess you must be used to it from here.
I will post again the funeral arrangements and such.
Oh my God, Hana, I am so sorry to hear. I'm shocked. I can only offer your family my prayers. My sincerest condolences to you and all of Ashley's loved ones.

I wish I knew Ashley better. But I do know without a doubt that he loved you, Hana, and he loved your children.

Seung just told me and I was praying to god that this was some wicked April fools but its not.
I am so saddened by this loss I can't even imagine what you are going through right now but please know that I will be praying for you and you're family.
There are alot of powerful voices in New Orleans but Ashley's was the only one that I could always here every single word.
Dammit this one really hurts.

Oh, Hana, I'm so sorry. I adored every word he wrote on our Wire blog and he was such a joy to know even to the small extent I did.
Please know that many, many of us are holding you and yours in our hearts.

Our thoughts are with you. When he was here, just a couple of weeks ago, he lit up the house.
Anything you need, know that we're here for you.

I'm so very sorry to hear the news. I didn't know Ashley personally, but I always loved reading his writing and his wonderful sense of humor.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

The other night I wrote about something that was bothering me and Ashley responded with love.
There are not enough words to express the joy that Ashley brought and his dedication to helping us out when we needed it. He shared what he had..we all felt it.

I am so sad I can't even breathe.
Ashley was my brother.
Anything, just ask. Anything.

Oh my God I am so sorry. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything.

Hana, I am so sorry. Ashley is the second person I know who's life ended prematurely in the last few days . . . .
Both irreplaceable. I miss him already.
