Ashley Loses Her Fight with Cancer

Ashley Walker

On Sunday, at around one p.m., Ashley Rebecca Walker died at home, her mother Kayla by her side. She had been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in September 2014, shortly before her fourth birthday, and since then had been battling the deadly cancer. She beat it back twice in 2015 before receiving the bone marrow transplant she desperately needed recently. Shortly after that transplant Ashley took ill again, and doctors discovered that the cancer had come back. At that point, there was nothing more they could do but pray for a miracle, and Ashley was sent home with her mom Kayla. That is where she would take her last breath on Sunday in Miami, Florida.
