Dear Maryann, Marie, Jean, Lester, Guy and families
It was with great sadness that I watched the video of Ashley’s funeral which was sent to me by a friend today. It brought back wonderful memories of our time in Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Perambur as teenagers where we spent happy times with you guys and the wonderful Psychedelics band. You were such a close knit and loving family and I’m sure Ashley will be watching you all from heaven and be your guiding light. RIP Ashley.
