Happy 30th Birthday, Ashley!

Dear Sister Lamb---Ashley. What an amazing woman you are. While on your mission and serving here in the Meadville, Pa. area you and Sister Lyda touched all of our lives. From Ralph and I to Ralphie, Cari & Abbi  to Mikey--we all felt of your spirit, your zest for life, your willingness to serve and NOT judge, your sense of style(yes even on a mission) and your delightful stories of your experiences on your mission and even some from your "pre-mission" life. We were like sponges--soaking in all of you as much as we could.


I shared my ups and downs(lots of downs) and you always had a listening ear and a caring heart.---always offering encouragement and uplifting me with a scripture or an inspiring story. Those are days that I treasure and long to have again.Thank you for making us feel important and worthy, even if we weren't attending church or doing what you as a missionary knew we should be doing. You were a lifeline to us as I am sure you are to many. Bless you for being a wonderful friend to all of our family.


Happy, happy birthday Ashley dear, happy days will come to you all year, if I had a wish then it would be a happy happy birthday to you from me!


Love the whole gang of Gomora's!

Ralph, Mary Kay, Ralphie, Cari, Abbi, Alivia and Mikey.

Dearest Ashley, You are awesome! You really have touched my life by your genuine kindness and love while on your mission. What a blessing you are to so many people! I know you have had your struggles and frustrations in life, as I have been following you on Facebook (lol) but I can tell you one thing, that is this: you are a strong soul and have much endurance. You may not think so but it shows in all your accomplishments and the way you live your life. Always remember, you are loved by many! I hope you have a wonderful Birthday with friends and family. You are special and have such a great smile :). Gosh, I hope I spelled everything right. This print is so tiny and I can't see it very well lol I am writing it with blurry vision as I have a migraine. I just noticed the bold icon but can't figure it out now that I am done. Lol go figure! Hey- Happy 30th Bithday Kid! Love ya, S Rowles, Conneaut Lake, Pa

Sexy 30!

Happy Birthday! 
Hey, Sexy lady!  Happy birthday!  I hope you have a very memorable and "rockin" 30th, it's one to remember, or so I'm told. 
If I lived closer I would totally give you one of those completely awkward hugs where we end up falling down and stuff... like say in my front room... with people watching. 
In all seriousness I hope you know how amazing you are and what a great example you are to so many people!  I'm really grateful I was able to get to know you the little bit that I was able to out in Pittsburgh.  I hope that Arizona is treating you well. 
Can't wait to see you again soon

Happy Birthday, Ashley!!!

Ashley is without a doubt one of the most creative and engaging people I know.  I remember reading her weekly emails sent from her mission, convinced of what a valuable tool in the Lord's hands she was, because she was consecrated, converted, exemplary, and genuinely interested in the people she met.  Who could resist her?  She has a terrific sense of humor and quickly puts people at ease.

She has developed her talents and has skills in so many areas.  What a gem of a girl!  I wish her a very happy 30th birthday and a beautiful year ahead.  

Love,

Margie Lamb

Happy 30th Birthday!

Hey Girl Hey,

I remember the first time that we chatted. It was in choir practice at the Butler’s and we were eating some of that delicious food (Yummy!). You struck up a conversation with me and we were getting to know each other. I thought you were amazing; serving a mission, traveling to all the places that I hope someday that I will visit, process of getting your master’s and I am sure much more. I instantly fell in love with your passion for life and determination. I can only hope that I have a fraction of that.   
I am so grateful to call you my friend. I love that I get to visit teach you every month and to get the scoop on all that goes on in your life. You are a great person to live vicariously through, by the way J And I am so eternally grateful that you are my Relief Society President. I learn from you every Sunday and each time I talk with you. Your spirit is simply amazing and beautiful.
I hope you have a great birthday! You, of all people, deserve every happiness in the world! So without further adieu…PLACENTA SEPERATION! TIME FOR CELEBRATION!!!

I love you “Bed Buddy”! (Remember Mexico)

Smiles all around :) Sarah Buckley

Nylons we absolutely hated... Food we absolutely loved!

Remember those hot days, wishing we could just throw our nylons off the cliff? Well, you know, sister missionaries are not required to wear them anymore. We're the old style missionaries... LOL.

Wow, there's so much to say... Thank you so much for being a wonderful trainer. I know I probably wasn't the easiest person to train, but you really taught me a lot and was a great example to me. I always strived to be a great missionary like you. Despite the small hardships we may have had, we had awesome times. Those first months are super memorable, such as us being stuck at the hospital for HOURS, Lydia vomiting in the bag and you with a neck brace. Timeless right? Thank goodness Carl Morris came by-- our friendship with him started there :). Remember when he accepted our invitation to be baptized and we bout peed our pants? Man, that was awesome. And of course, we can never forget about Little Caesars Italian Cheese Bread, Mickey D's ice cream cones, Saegertown uh... I can't remember what it's called now!! It's been years since we were companions, but the memories seem like yesterday. Here are some great snapshots of us!

ICE CREAM!

WE LOVE FOOD!

Sad day... You left me... :(

I have a WHOLE CD of us together! ;) Thank you for always caring about me and being a great sister and friend. You are so kind and so willing to offer help. You are crafty and talented in so many ways, I remember being so envious of you ;) Happy birthday gorgeous you... I hope you have the best birthday ever!

Love you tons and always, Chris Harper.
