A beautiful soul who left a mark
Pain surged through my chest
Tears rolled, flooded my eyes
Hysteria took control,
She was gone.
Ashley, a monument can never,
Never magnify the love you had,
Re-written stories can never fill inn,
The void you left.
Your soul expressed protection,
Your love made angels applaud,
Your presence bought happiness,
You depicted strength
Your character gave a full definition of intelligence
You were indeed a beautiful soul,
A soul that left a magnificent mark.
Ashley, when days go slow,
When days get dark,
I will tell them, remind them
That you were a beautiful soul,
A soul that left a mark.
A mark for them not to continually mourn
But rather to grasp the happy times we shared with you
Beloved sister, I will remind them,
That as always, you wanted to be happy then,
And even happy now regardless of your absence
Ashley, when the pain of your memory is overwhelming,
When pain chains the family,
I will tell them that
A beautiful soul left a mark!
I will remind them that you want them to try,
To try and embrace,
Embrace the tragedy,
A tragedy that has befallen us,
A tragedy of life,
That everyone will inevitably go through.
Ashley, the flame of love!
I will remind them not to cry in vain
For we are bound as humans,
With the will of God.
I will remind them of you,
Till grief turns to a smile,
A smile brought with the memory of you,
Because you are a magnificent soul,
A soul that is irreplaceable,
A soul that left a mark,
A mark that will never be erased.
(In memory of Ashley Zirobwa, a beautiful daughter, a beloved sister and an irreplaceable aunt….my your soul rest in eternal peace)

When all the tears are rolling down your face
And it feels like yours was the only heart to break
When you come back home and all the lights are out, ooh
And you're getting used to no one else being around
Oh, oh, I'll be there
When you need a little love, I got a little love to share
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come through
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there for you
Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
When it's Friday night and the drink don't work the same
You're alone with yourself and there's no one else to blame
When you still can't feel the rhythm of your heart
And you see your spirit fading in the dark
Oh, oh, I'll be there
When you need a little love, I got a little love to share
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come through
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (I'll be there for you)
Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
When you're lost down the river bed, I'll be there
When you're lost in the darkness, I'll be there
I'll be there when your heart is breaking
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
I'll be there
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (I'll be there)
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (ooh, ooh, I'll be there)
Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you, oh
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (I'll be there when your tears are falling)
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (I'll be there, can't you hear me calling?)
Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh
(When your heart is breaking)
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you, ooh
I'll be there for you, ooh
I'll be there for you, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, ooh
I'll be there for you, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you Whiz kid

Wow I still am in complete and utter shock that you are gone Ashley.. my heart aches for all of your loved ones as there are so many of us. You and I had a great few years of close friendship together back in 2014, hitting up the gym, going to movies, bowling, watching ball hockey, going to watch you perform at the body building competition in Moncton at the Casino and going out afterwards to Moxie's and the club to get our dance on, not to mention looking at being roommates at one point in time! I know life got busy for both of us over the years but we still reached out on birthdays and special occasions as I was reading through our old messages and found some pictures of us I shared as well. You were the kindest soul and such a role model and older sister to me, you will be deeply missed by all those hearts you have touched, my dearest condolences go out to your family and friends alike as we all struggle to deal with your tragic passing. All my love see you again one day my friend my you rest in peace forever gone but never forgotten.

Even though we only met for a brief moment, your smile brought warmth, happiness and joy to so many. You touched many peoples lives in so many ways. Now your bright light it among the heavens; shining brightly as a star. You will always be looking down and watching all your family and friends and when they look up at the sky they will see your smile and feel your warmth and protection with them always. A piece of you will always be carried with them in their hearts.

This is a picture that means a lot to me. Ashley and I had a true friendship connection that I hadn’t had prior to. It signifies the love and loyalty we had for each other. We had lost touch a bit this summer but it came right back full force when I had seen her before she passed. This picture will always give me the he happiest of memories.

It's difficult to believe and accept that you've gone, but nevertheless, we are so glad you lived- and OHHHH DID YOU LIVE! We are so proud of you and everything you accomplished in your great 35 years of life. We will forever miss you, and Mark wishes he had met you. But in a way, he has met you through your memory.
To the entire Zirobwa family (Dad & Mum, all siblings, husbands, nephews, nieces etc.), we are sorry we are unable to be in Saint John with you during this trying time. But our thoughts and prayers are with you always as we say goodbye to a loving sister and friend. The Kankya family also sends their love and sincere condolences.
We thank God for Ashley's life and the future she's going to experience in paradise. Fare thee well Ashley. Until we meet again.
Love,
Mark & Ruth
