I have no words. Ashley was my tag partner at Wrestlemania. My sometimes road wife. We did countless photo shoots and press days together. It seems like yesterday Ashley was a major part of my life and then our worlds changed and now she is gone. Im heartbroken for her family. https://t.co/QTcNxN3P0K pic.twitter.com/olaTWKD9JS

I didn’t know Ashley well. But as an acquaintance, very recently, she seemed very bright and was great to be around.
The sadness and hopelessness can be very real, and we can all do better.
Talk to someone. Tell somebody you love them. It helps. Trust me.

The first time I met her, she went out of her way to say hello, and always had kind and encouraging words since.
