Ashalee, we have definetly been friends for many years, the good, the bad, and the ugly we shared and supported each other.. I stepped away because I had to get my life together but I know you know I always supported you no matter what.. I understood the battle, still do and I'm just so sorry I couldn't have been there for you these last few years.. but I know you are proud of the person I have become.. you had a beautiful soul and we had many talks about the here after.. their is no doubt in my mind where you are, you had a beautiful heart and cared for others!

John Nichole Ashalee Adamson was my Dear Friend of 37 years. She was the true Definition of Living Your Best Life. When the World was AGAINST her, she stood Tall and Brave. She didn't care what others said or thought about her, bc she lived her life on Her Terms. No Matter the Cards life dealt,she was still My Friend and I loved her and will miss her Dearly😪 Rest Easy Beautiful 🕊 You Definitely got your Wings 🥰😘❤️❤️
