Friends, I am so very sad. Ariel had such a presence. She was unassuming, yet penetrable. I got to know her when we went on a missions trip to MS to help after Katrina. It was a joy to work beside her. She was a fast friend from then on. Treasure her sweet memories. Lean on your friends and your faith for your strength. When you need Jesus with skin on don't hesitate to call. Brett and Ailene Banks and family

John/Jea - It has been years since I've seen you. I will never forget the day that Jea called John at the office to tell him that they were having twins - and the look on his face! What a blessing! My heart is so heavy for you. Our children are gifts from God and while Ariel's time on this earth was brief she touched the lives of so many in ways you may never know. Find comfort in your faith and have no regrets. God bless.

Ariel oh my Ariel. I really do not think that you realized the impact that you made on so many people during your short life span. If you had maybe you wouldn't of decided to end your like so soon. I had so much more to talk to you about and do with you. You were my inpiration and I miss you so very much! Life will never be the same again for me, your loving father.

I never had the privilege of knowing Ariel, but she touched my heart by reaching out to my son when he was a freshman and she was a senior on the cross country team at Mill Valley. She made a huge impression on him. He used what she taught him about leadership to reach out to new team members in the following years. My heart breaks for you in your pain.

My prayers are with you and your family. I only knew Ariel from Emporia but she definitely made a amazing impression on my life we were on the same floor our first year attending, the Foxy Fifth floor. She was one of the few I liked and could hang out and get along with. We would talk about cross country and horses and other things we had in common. She was a great friend and always knew how to make anyone laugh or put a smile on our faces especially if one of us were having a horrible day. I only wished I went and visited more the second year since I left at semester. She was always trying to get me to take a break from working so much and to go stay and have fun with everyone at Emporia. I will miss her greatly and will always remember her!!

Dear John & family,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss! When we lost Tiffany, that was so difficult, and she was my niece - a daughter is unimaginable. We knew Ariel not just from Pizza Hut, but we've also gotten to watch her grow-up! I still remember when you told us twins were on the way - that happiness. Hold onto that feeling and know, she smiles down on you, praying for your healing through this time.
Please know, you are ALL in our prayers, and if you need anything, please let us know.

We knew Ariel from Westside Church in Shawnee and remember her sweet smile and bright personality! I imagine her now walking with the Lord, fully complete and at peace. Micah 7:8 reads: "When I sit in darkness the Lord shall be light unto me." I pray that He will continue to give you comfort through this difficult time! Love to you all!
