Ashlyn Leigh Shoemaker
May 20, 1990 - April 21, 2005
Ashlyn is the anglicized version of the Celtic name
Aislinn, which means vision or dream. Ashlyn was indeed
a dream. She enchanted everyone she touched. She was
the rare combination of compassion, intelligence and
beauty. In the short time that she graced this planet, she
had the opportunity to do many things. She developed many different interests, nurtured along
by the many people in her life that loved her. She was
well read, loved animals, had a flair for style and
trends, enjoyed traveling, loved the beach and surfing
and dedicated a great deal of time to her hobbies.
As
a person, she was refined, kind and compassionate. She
saw the best in people, especially the one's that were
easily overlooked. She was a safe port for her friends
that were having complications in their life and provided
companionship to her parents, grandparents and other
family members. |

She
attended grade school in Pearland, 8th Grade in Channelview
and High School in Galveston, TX. She was loved and
appreciated by many in each of those comunities.
In her passing, we also realize that she was a teacher.
She has taught us to not take life for granted, to appreciate
the people around you, to be kind to your neighbor and
to look for the best in people.
She
was taken from us suddenly on April 21, 2005. The cause
of her death is thought to be hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,
a condition that she was diagnosed with at 12 years
of age. Her mother shares this condition, and was diagnosed
when pregnant with Ashlyn.
We
hope that the lessons that Ashlyn taught all of us about
life will continue to resonate in your life.
She
was an amazing daughter, granddaughter, cousin and friend.
