FOX actually gave this story a 20 sec sound bite a moment ago.
A week ago , this brave woman was the belle du jour .
But today , I guess there are more important issues to cover.
From me: Thanks Ashley ! You were great! Way to go ....
Have a great life ! You deserve every penny of those rewards, so glad they paid .

[Not now, Not ever!]

Thankfully, we won't find out how many peoples lives were saved by this lady's actions.

[presently no screen name]

She's a beautiful woman - inside and out.

She did what most wouldn't even think out. All done with words and caring.

What strength! What character!

Shouldn't you be on this thread slandering Ashley?

"My life is testimony that God can use us even in the midst of tragedy and miracles do happen."

That should be written on her headstone. I hope that my life will reflect the same testimony when all is said and done.

She can afford that nose job now.>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'd take her as is.

Dude, you will ceratinly get flamed by the 'St Ashley crowd' for your comments even questioning the slightest bit about the gospel according to St Ashley!

Yours is the first mention of Ashley's boyfriend... tell us more!

[beyond the sea]

Why did Ashley's boyfriend drive Mr. Nicholes around for several hours BEFORE returning to her apartment?

Source, please!

Fact, Brian Nichols, A big young black man, dated mostly white girls AND it is believed by many in the sheriffs department that he dated Ashley.

Source, please?

Go for it, cool one.

Yours is the first mention of Ashley's boyfriend... tell us more!

He has no more about the "boyfriend" most likely. It "smells" to him like things "smelled" to you before.

At least you were a good poet, Chieftain!

Chieftain how was Daytona? It was so nice not to have you here heartthrobbing over Ashley.

At least you gave us a break, but now you are back, dragging your heartbroken tail behind you.

I see bhp just signed up and onto FR today. Is bhp now your alias Chieftain. If not bhp where are you getting your scummy rumormongering info from. You got links or is it you speak from wallowing in the mire yourself?

Here familurize yourself with the info, and don't call us, we'll never call you.
