Ashley was born on Monday, Dec. 18, 2006, at North Valley Hospital to BryAnna and John Reis of Kalispell.

She is survived by her loving parents, Bry and John; brother, Justen; and sister, Stephanie; her maternal grandparents, Tammy and Gordie Olson, of Columbia Falls, and Gene Zechin of Kalispell; paternal grandparents, Audrey Lapka of Bigfork, and Mark Reis of Aberdeen, S.D., and her godparents, Matthew and Tamara Larsen, of Columbia Falls; as well as many other relatives and close friends.

Our 'Little Angel' had an all too short life, but a life that was filled with so much love. Bry and John would like to express their love and heartfelt thanks to all of the staff of the Birthing Center at North Valley Hospital and the ALERT flight crew and staff for their heroic efforts during Ashley's short life.

A memorial celebration will take place in the spring.
