RIP Ashleyann Carlson: July 1, 1955 -- September 30, 2018



Today, 10-20-18, I attended the memorial service for Ashleyann Carlson with my family's very special friend Tom McHugh. (I know Tom and his wife Lori from something that has nothing to do with skating.)

I met Ashleyann at the ice rink at Chapel Hills Mall in Colorado Springs somewhere in 2005 when she introduced herself and told me that she was friends with the McHughs and that Tom and her had once been ice dance partners. (Ashleyann was Tom's first ice dance partner in fact and Tom began ice skating at the age of 45!)

She adored Tom and Lori, so every time we saw one another, we'd talk the "wonderful McHughs!"

We've been in touch ever since 2005 and I always thought it was so wonderful that Ashleyann loved skating so much and that she was always so complimentary about my three children's skating accomplishments.

Ashleyann is missed so much. Hugs to her husband Ted and to everyone who loved Ashleyann.




This is the paper Ashleyann gave me in 2005 when I met her at the Ice Arena at Chapel Hills Mall in Colorado Springs.  I stuck it in my purse and forgot about it, but when I was cleaning an old purse out last weekend 10-13-18, I found this paper!
