But also... I dont mean to hijack this thread... this is not about me and I sorry if that comes across that way. My thoughts and condolences are towards poor Ashleigh and her family... so let's leave this thread for what its started for and that's her. Thank you.

I never met Ashleigh... but I will never forget her face and it haunts me everytime i close my eyes... i have slept about 5 hrs total since the incident happened at 1am Monday morning.
