So sad, i remember Ashley. She worked really hard to run a dance studio and raise her daughter. She was very sweet. My thoughts and prayers will be with her daughter and family.

Oh how sad! I remember her, she was a lovely, hard working young mom from what I saw of her on the show. Her poor daughter, nothing is worse than a child losing a parent at such a young age. My prayers and thoughts go out to her family in this very difficult time.

How incredibly sad to hear.. I remember watching the episode that her family appeared on, and she seemed so sweeet and loving, and devoted to her daughter. Such a tragedy.

oh how terrible! I too remember this family. At first I couldn’t understand Ashley. On the show she seemed lazy and spoiled letting her folks raise her kid but in the second episode she really showed how she was trying to do her best to run her own business and be a good mother. How sad for this family. My thoughts are with them during this terrible ordeal. May Ashley rest in peace and her family find some healing.

Thanks for crediting me CBB. I literally cried when I found this out last night. I too am a single mother and lived with my parents the first 1 1/2 of my daughters’ life due to financial reasons. I can not believe she is leaving behind an 8 yr old. I grieve for this entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Perrin family.

Is her mom the woman who shouted about Jesus all the time? That was the only episode of that show I ever watched.

Tracy on September 27th, 2007

I never watched that show, but this is such sad news.

The loss of a child and mother at such a young age… wow…

I send her family all my best wishes!

vanessa on September 27th, 2007

yes she was the one who was against anything “dark-sided, witchery” etc. She appeared again just a few months ago with another family. I have met Mrs. Perrin in real life for a very brief second and she is the most tender person and a very happy individual. Her daughter really seemed like she held the family together. Mrs. Perrin and her daughter also seemed like best friends. I again could only imagine the amount of grief this family is dealing with at this time. I feel especially horrible that an 8 yr old has lost her mother. So sad!!!!

I went to Mrs. Perrin’s website and you can make a donation in Lieu of flowers to Abigail Allen (Ashley’s daughter). I will be making a donation.

I had no knowledge of this until now. I am also a god-fearing woman and come from a Christian Family. I truly feel that Mrs. Marguerite was sent to that family of non-believers to lead them to God. God sent her to them.But hey, it’s up to them to read those Bibles she got for them. I understand that society thinks she’s crazy or is a holy roly, but she is just like any other Christian out there putting out the word of God to help lead people to Him. I applaud her and every Christian for that. I am so sad right now about this. It is a reason why she died. She has offspring that she is living through and she was young. Wow.. but in the Bible it says ‘obey your parents and you shall live a long life’. Think on that. My condolences to the Perrin Family.

The whole thing was and is sad, but people has to think also that the poor girl had so much on her shoulders that she coulnd’t cope with it.
We don’t know what was on her mind previously to the accident.
What the mother did on TV, a program watched by millions worldwide, would top anything any young girl can put up with. Girls are sensitive, specially if they are living with a controlling mom. This girl was holding the household together because dad wasn’t doing anything. Now the worse thing is not what the mother and father has to go through, but what the little girl (and her sister) has to go through in the next ten years, considering who is going to raise her. The mother is teaching them to hate whomever don’t think like her, and that will no give them a firm foundation to live in any place where there are many religions and many different ways of thinking. This woman is a strong manipulator and nobody can see that. On the other hand, if dad sees it, he is so hipnotized by his wife that he accepts anything from her.
He needs to wake up and take over, if the mother is not prepared to raise children to be loving and productive happy adults.

That is so sad! My prayers go out to the family and her beautiful daughter!
