Grrrr! I can't figure out why only the lead will post! Well here is the rest of the post.

The tradition started with her father. He had gone to the state fair for over 20 years in a row and had taken Ashley the month before she was even born. Ashley was known for bragging to her friends each year about the new foods she had tasted at the fair. “She always was adventurous and didn’t care how much it cost, she just had to try it,” her best friend Eric said.
Ironically, she died when a horse that was to show at the fair in 2011 trampled her.
A memorial service for family and friends will be held at New Life Church in Princeton, MN. She had requested a cremation and will be brought to the family’s hunting land in Alexandria afterwards.
A well written, informative obituary that really lets the reader get to know you. I especially liked the part about your father beginning the state fair tradition. It reminds me about the events and pastimes my father has gotten me into. Nice job!
I really liked how most of the parts were about you and your dad and the state fair in some way. You made the reader feel like a part of your life somehow and you had good information in it!
