Ashley Van Wingerden Obituary

Ashley Sue Van Wingerden, 11, of Earleville, MD went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, July 24, 2009. Ashley was born on July 16, 1998 in Denver, Colorado. Her first smile came at two days old and it rarely left her beautiful face. She was kind and generous, sweet and caring, and loved to dance. She was happiest at home with her family, playing with and taking care of her brother and sisters. She loved Jesus with all her heart and dreamed of being a teacher. She will be deeply missed but her faith in Christ gives her family assurance they will meet again in heaven. Ashley is survived by her parents, Jake and Wendy; siblings, Jacob, Jr. (8), Emma (4), and Grace (1); grandparents, Arie and Lynn Van Wingerden and Glenn and Linda Boll; 2 sets of great-grandparents, 28 aunts and uncles, 13 cousins, and numerous great aunts and uncles and second and third cousins. Services for Ashley will be held 10 a.m. on Friday, July 31st at Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church, 2880 Summit Bridge Road, Bear, DE, where friends may visit one hour prior to services. Interment will be in Georgetown Cemetery, near Galena, MD. Flowers can be sent to the church and donations can be made in Ashley's name to Happy Life Children's Home, http://www.happylifechildrenshome.com.

Dear Van Wingerden family,

I wanted to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. We are a Red Lion family and we will remember your daughter regularly. I know you will be reunited in heaven with the Lord in His time. While you wait, I pray that you can comfort one another, encourage each other, and find joy in your future.

Dear Van Wingerden Family,
We do not know one another, but I have heard of your loss. My oldest child died eight months ago, so I am still new in my grief journey. I am a Christian but I have had many times when my faith has faltered. When the "if onlys, woulda', coulda', shoulda's" surface, two areas of Scripture bring me some solace; Job 14:5 and Psalms 139:13-16. Know that you are not alone, and your grief journey will be as unique and individual as your walk with our Saviour. The prayers of many are with you.
