Alaska is mourning Kotzebue's daughter Ashley by wearing the color Purple

Alaska kids are mourning the passing of Kotzebue's daughter Ashley by wearing the color purple.  It is amazing a color usually associated with cancer is the dominate color in the state right now.  I wonder how many girls who are about to born will be named Ashley in the next couple of weeks.  We may have to check birth records.  Ashley could also be a boys name too.  Ashton could also see a rise in the male gender to honor this child.  Alaska is praying for you and Samantha Koening is taking care of you as a little sister.
