On her mom’s final day of life, Ashley said she went to her home for a visit as they both live minutes apart in Tennessee.

“It was a mixed day,” she said. “I visit with my mom and pop every day when I’m home in Tennessee, so I was at the house visiting as I am every day. Mom said to me, ‘Will you stay with me?’ and I said, ‘Of course I will.’“

A friend then came by to visit.

“I went upstairs to let her know that her good friend was there, and I discovered her. I have both grief and trauma from discovering her,” Ashley continued.

“Our mother couldn’t hang on until she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by her peers,” she added. “That is the level of catastrophe of what was going on inside of her, because the barrier between the regard in which they held her couldn’t penetrate into her heart, and the lie the disease told her was so convincing.”
