Ashley,
You were absolutely awe-inspiring last night
both in the performance of the National Anthem
and Josh’s Song. You set us up by inspiring us
with love of country and then showed us the cost
of defending our country, the cost that military
families such as yours pay to protect us all. There
is no amount of thanks that can be given to our
military to ever repay them or families such as
yours that make the sacrifices for the good of us all.
There was not a dry eye in the house when you
sang the song you wrote for your brother and it was
absolutely beautiful and touched us all. It is such a
gift that you have to be able to speak through your
music and have such an effect. We were so moved
by your song and the love that was so apparent
between your brother and yourself was so genuine,
heart warming and heart breaking all at the same time.
It is a gift that you have given us, to be able to relate
on a personal level with our troops and their families.
Your song made it personally touching to everyone
as evidenced by the standing ovation you received
from the crowd. Awesome, you are truly awesome.

Thank you for the evening of great music at Pasco
high supporting the Troops of Bravo Company 2/116th
FA in Dade City Fl. We were honored that you care
enough to sing even when the power went off.
My husband was a Marine (Camp Lejuene, NC) and
is now in the National Guard. We have 6 more years
and he will retire. His civialian job is at WREC.
He is a lineman. We love the people that support
the military. It is a hard job going away from your family.
But my 9 year old son said mom it is hard not being
able to go see daddy either. If is hard for everyone.
Keep up the good work as and artist, great citizen
and remember we are who we are and support your
family. They will be by you no matter what. Families
are going to look out for each other. Hug everytime you can.
Tell Josh we are praying for him!
Your song for Josh makes me cry...Thank you.

Miss Shannon,
It was an absolute honor and pleasure to have
you perform today at Pasco High School, for our
troops that returned home! I was in total AWE
when I heard your voice. With the power being
out and no lights to illuminate you on stage,
I was amazed at the professionalism that you
exhibited; continuing with the show and giving
the performance of a seasoned entertainer!
Without a doubt, I know I speak for all in attendance,
you were astonshing!
I pray that you are blessed with many years of continued success!
Your newest devoted fan,

Ashley,
I would like to express my deepest appreciation for
your participation in the Patrick Cooper Memorial Benefit.
I'm sorry I have not contacted you sooner but I wanted you
to know how much we all appreciate your willingness to help
others in need. The day I met you and your mom at
Sparklebration you did not hesitate to reach out and
help the Cooper family, whom you did not even know,
which makes you a very special person. You make the
world a better place and I wish you much success in the future.
Sincerely,
Randy Bentley

Hey Ashley,
I am a Realtor at Keller Williams Kelly Realty.
Nancy Kane is a dear dear friend of mine and
I wanted to thank you for volunteering to
perform at her event. We raised over $3,500 that night!
Can you believe it. You were awesome.
My husband kept leaning over after each person sang and said...
I wouldn't want to follow her... I wouldn't want to follow her....
or her..." and so on the night went until you sang. Then he said
"The others were GREAT! She (you) BLEW them away!"
I wanted to ask if I could email you a picture or two
from the event. If that is okay send me an email to
send it to and I will forward it. If you ever need votes or
audience participation just email me! I will make sure our
office and the East Pasco Association of Realtors signs
up to help you out! Again, thanks for performing for Nancy!

Hey Ash,
Your disc came Tuesday in good health.
Wow you really are a talent and a half !!!
I didn't have any doubts but me and Jen
listened to it top to bottom on our way north
to see my daughter on her first day of the
school year. We kept wondering if we were
at the end and you would give us another beauty of a song.
Don't change a darn thing. You've got everything
you need to make your dreams come true.
I pray that our paths cross soon as I really
appreciate the support people like you and Kenny give.
That's sometimes hard to come by !!
Hope to hear back from ya soon !!! ~ Q & Jen (or San J HA!)
