AshleyRose Knorr
I am writing this letter on my daughter AshleyRose who was an organ donor. AshleyRose passed away June 7, 2014. She would of been graduating from St. John Fisher College in Elementary Teaching/Special Ed. She passed away from a brain aneurysm. The worst day of my life and I relive it every day. She loved family and they adored her. She was beautiful, energetic and when you met her you would never forget her! She put everyone's needs above her own. The hard part was never being able to say goodbye. She was on life support till the very end. She was always the one decorating the house for Holidays. She loved making different meals and loved cooking. She was going with the love of her life for about 6 years his name was Josh. Her main focus was setting goals for herself and accomplishing them. She was doing her student teaching in about three of the inner city schools. VOA was one of them. She loved working with kids and they adored her. She also volunteered at the Boyscouts of America where she helped in the after school programs. To say we miss AshleyRose is a tremendous understatement as she holds part of all our hearts. AshleyRose had 2 brothers and 1 sister. She also had nieces and nephews who loved her so very much. Birthdays would be full of presents and balloons for the kids. She never forgot your birthday and would buy gifts ahead, she loved showing me what she purchased. She loved giving because it made her so happy. Her dad was Stephen which she adored so much!! I could go on and on about her. I hope one of these days I can meet one of the recipients. I know it is hard on them but that is my one wish. I was writing the last 6 years to them. To know they are alive because of her is a great joy! God Bless All! We do a Golf Tournament each year to raise money for students who are majoring in Elementary Teaching/ special Ed. We have an endowment at Fisher. The scholarship is in her name. So far we have given out 4 scholarships and 1 more this year in AshleyRoses name. We are definitely keeping her memory alive. Thank you and sending all my love to Heaven to my beautiful Angel. Love your Mom.
