November 8, 2020 Remembering Ashlin, Megan and Katie Jo
The day was November 8, 2020. From the darkness of night came the news that nobody wanted to hear, the news that three young lives had been lost in a shallow creek out in the middle of nowhere. The scene was a dusty road and a dusty curve that didn’t have a guardrail. At that scene, friends and family jumped off that curve down into the murky creek, but it was just too late. That night, three young ladies from our area lost their lives. Katie Jo Vaughn, Megan Daniel and Ashlin Cox never made it home to their families that night, and they never made it to all of the other events that come with being a young lady living in a rural community. Ashlin was never able to go to church again at Faith Missionary Baptist. She never saw her work friends at the Burger Joint again, and she never had the opportunity to finish college and go to work for Pixar.
