    Today Ashley's brother lost his 6 month battle with lung cancer .. he was only 45 years old. He leaves behind a wife and 4 children.

    One of the hardest things we are all trying to come to terms with is that he died of lung cancer, a disease normally associated with smokers but he had never so much as taken a puff of a cigarette in his whole life and nobody in his family had ever smoked either! How cruel is that??

    The lessons we should all learn from this tragedgy are to ...

    Live life at full speed,
    Take educated risks,
    Start each day with a smile
    And be thankful for what we've got,
    At every opportunity tell those you care about
    Just how much you care about them.
    Don't regret anything, simply learn from it.
    .......... You're a long time dead.
