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.
