Asher Kenzi Kruze Smith was born October 11, 2009 at 4:13 p.m. in Billings Clinic the daughter of Channing Smith and Ryan Burshia. She was 6 lbs. 1 oz. and 18 ½ inches. Baby Ash was loved by all that knew her. Even though she was born with a heart problem she always smiled and had the best laugh in the world. Asher ruled the roost in her pink dress with her pink bow in her hair. She loved to Kruze, whether it be in mom’s awesome car, the green truck, or Jammin out to some good tunes with dad. Ash Kruze’d to Billings and Great Falls many times, usually sick as hell, but NEVER let it ruin her ride. Asher had a very special Aunt Frankie and Uncle Joshua who loved her very much, looking forward to growing up together. Although she was only here for a short while, she still got more slaps in.
She was preceded in death by great-grandma LaDonna Allrunner, great-grandpa George Ferguson, great-great-grandpa William “Buck” Smith, and great-great-grandparents Emily and Jack Allrunner.
