This is a big loss to all of us. We loved her. she was an inspiration to people of all colors. As hard as it is for the family to come to terms with it, let them know the nation is mourning a hero. We have lost a champion. Its painful because she died knowing she is celebrated by many, but she will never know just how much she has touched our lives. That on our side should be enough to comfort us. So instead of mourning, lets celebrate her life, for she did her duty as assigned by the lord with distinction. Let her soul rest in peace and her memories endure forever to keep inspiring us.
February 15th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
I didn’t know her in person but she felt like family through her God-given acting talent. May God be with all your family and friends who will dearly miss you. My deepest sympathy.

Ashley Callie was a much-loved TV personality and will be sorely missed. We often tend to believe that these individuals in the spotlight are beyond the clutches of material miseries, with many of us living vicariously through their on-screen persona’s.
Such a tragic passing jolts us back to the reality that this precious life is fragile and should not be wasted even for a second. Even though Ashley was taken at such a young age, she lived life to the fullest, and this should be an inspiration to us all.
May God be with her family and loved ones during this time.
February 16th, 2008 at 1:12 am
To the Callie Family & Friends,
Another star has left this earth to shine in the Heavens!
Thank you Ashley for providing us with such good memories, and thank you Callie family for sharing her with us.
My Condolences and deepest sympathy go out to the Family and Friends in this your time of sorrow, may the Angels surround you all with love and give you the strength to get through this.

Dear Callie Family,
Like so many who felt they knew Ashley from tv, it’s unimaginable that she’s gone, in her prime. Its been years since I’ve watched Isidingo, yet Ashley made such an indelible impression with her strength, beauty and unique presence. She was unforgettable. May she rest in peace and the Almighty heal your hearts with all the good memories of your time together. Love and Prayers

February 16th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
My heart is bleeding. ‘Lee’ was my favourite girl, in fact I had a crush on her, just seeing her on TV. It’s so hard to believe. My sister called me this morning to tell me the sad news but I totally refused and took it for a joke. My heartfelt sympathy to the family. You are in my prayers. God bless you! May she rest in peace

For the family of Ashley Callie: she was a wonderful actress, playing an inspiring character, a great loss to us all. I recently lost a son in his twenties and think I have some sense of what you are going through. My heart goes out to you. I hope you find strength and comfort in the knowledge that she achieved so much in her short life and, through her acting, was loved and admired by many, many people who never even met her.

This is quite sad for Ashley’s friends and family, but let’s all remember there are other families still struggling with the health and well-being of their loved ones also seriously injured in this unfortunate accident. It was not just a red Renault– there were people inside.

February 18th, 2008 at 7:58 am
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I don’t think she could have known what an impact she had on those who watched her on Isidingo. Her face, so vibrant, her twinkly eyes, and always her lovely hair, and of course, her acting ability, was always an inspiration and wonderful to watch. She will be greatly missed. Since her accident, we have spoken about her every day and sent a prayer for her recovery. She has been constantly in our thoughts - now those prayers will be for you!
February 18th, 2008 at 8:20 am
To all Ashley’s family, friends and loved ones
My sincere condolences to you all. She was a wonderful actress and from interviews that I saw of her on Top Billing, she came across as a warm, loving down to earth person with a great love of life. It is such a great sad loss.
You will be greatly missed.
February 18th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Dearest Callie family,
May God provide you with much love and tender care during this incredibly hard time. Your daughter left a legacy and those who were fortunate to have known her much have been truly blessed!!!!
Ashley was a phenominal actress ….. one which Charlize Theron could learn from.
You will always live on in spirit.
God Bless,

I feel quite devastated by the loss of Ashley Callie. Even though I only “knew” her through the tv set I felt she was part of my life every evening.
Isidingo will never be the same but I will continue to watch in her memory.
To Ashley’s family I wish you all well and great strength at this difficult time.
To Ashley I have no doubt you will take your magic and wonderful nature to your new home. May you all have a blast up there.
February 18th, 2008 at 8:50 am
My condolences, perhaps the people that she was can shared some more light. Did Callie have a glass of wine at the function on her wayback to meet her untimely death? If that is not the case, why can we not get some bold Journalism going on to chase the story withiot fear or favour. Is it also true that she did not have a medical aid let alone a Hospital cover?
I feel we not getting the whole truth out of this story. If tables where turned the vultures would have a field day.
February 18th, 2008 at 8:53 am
We are praying for you. Now that this has happened don’t stop believing that God does care. Sometimes when things like these happen we get so discouraged, and as much as it hurts right now know that God is also hurting with you. He will be by your side each step of this thorny road you are going through. God loves you and he cares, don’t forget to pray each moment for strength from above and for peace within.
We did not know Ashley on a personal level but we loved her work and her personality on and off stage. We will miss her terribly. We are praying for you. Philippians 4:7
February 18th, 2008 at 8:56 am
My deepest sympathies to Callie’s family and friends, she was a very intelligent, brilliant and gorgeous lady! May she rest in peace and watch over her family during this difficult time. An actress that would certainly have given Charlize a run for her money! Ashley, you will be sorely missed, Isidingo will never be the same without your sunshine face.
February 18th, 2008 at 9:04 am

I’m so heartbroken for your entire family. I didn’t even know Ashleigh personally; but I felt like I did because I watched her on Isidingo everyday and I guess I identified with her character on some levels.
I pray that God will comfort and guide your family during this time and that He will watch and protect her precious soul.
February 18th, 2008 at 10:02 am

To the Callie Family,
Deepest condolences too you all. Ashely will be sorely missed by us all.
This is a poem I find alot of comfort in.
I Am Not There.
Don’t stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond that glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I did not die.

To The Callie Fam.
No words will take your pain away. Know this “Lee” has managed to pull South Africans of all race and color together thru a tv set and left a mark that no other actor will fill very quickly. S.Africans r mourning her dead today. coz we love her. “Be still and know He is Lord ” May the Lord give u strength.
February 18th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Her character was so real on TV, that we fell in love with the character, knowing that she would be the same in real life. She was “simply the best” thing that ever happened to Isidingo, and I and my family will miss her terribly. The show will never be the same without her, but we will still watch the show with fond memories of Ashley. Our deepest sympaties go to her family and friends.

I pray that you are given the strength to carry on without your beloved Ashley. I only knew her as Lee and the odd interview - what an amazing, vibrant person! It is a tragic loss but her legacy will live on and she will continue to be an inspiration to many South Africans. God Bless - Love and Light - Susan

My sincere condolences to the Callie family. I loved watching Ashley in Isidingo. She was one of the most beautiful woman on T.V. We dont know why bad things happen to us or our loved ones, all we know is that we must keep the Faith, and I pray that God heals you in time. I think it takes longer for parents, you have birth to her and cared for her for many years. Always remember you did a wonderful job and God will get you through this terrible time. My condolences to the cast and crew of Isidingo. God Bless

February 19th, 2008 at 8:32 am
I am still shocked and crushed by this tragedy. It is very painful to see her on Isidingo, knowing that she’s no longer with us. Feel like I’ve lost someone close to me, although we of course never met. I’m so sad and wish the family and those who were close to her in ‘real life’, peace and happy memories of her when the rawness starts to heal.

May she rest in Peace
February 19th, 2008 at 10:26 am
My family and I are avid watchers of Isidingo, I found that my relationship with my father is very similar to that of Ashleys character Leigh and Barker. It is a great loss to both her family and SA viewers. Celebrate her life and achievements as Ashley touched many lives as an actor, her smile some how just roped you in! ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG, I know that this is little comfort but time will allow this open wound to heal.
February 19th, 2008 at 11:54 am
My dad died on Friday evening from a massive heart attack, i understand the hurt, pain and anger that you’re feeling. I know my dad had great company when he reached the Pearly Gates. Good luck to your family during this difficult time.
February 19th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS
NO WORDS IN THIS WORLD WOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN JUST HOW DEEPLY TOUCHED WE ARE. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT GOD LOVES HIS ANGELS THATS WHY HE ALWAYS WANT THEM AROUND HIM, SHE WAS TRUELY AN ANGEL ON EARTH AND NO ONE CAN REPLACE HER.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this extremely sad time. She was a breath of fresh air on our screens and touched us her fans.

Kind regards, Carol

Sometimes God breaks our spirits to save our souls
Sometimes He breaks our hearts to make us whole
Sometimes God allows pain so we can be stronger
Sometimes He sends us failure so we can be humble
Sometimes God takes everything away from us,
So that we can learn the value of everything he gave us.
So make plans but understand we live by Gods grace,
Each and every day.
May He be your comfort during this difficult time!
February 21st, 2008 at 1:11 pm
A Better Place
She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.
It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.
We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

Mr and Mrs Callie, Lauren and John…
Thank you for letting us be a part of Ashley’s farewell and celbration of life. I had the complete honour of meeting her once. She is and was an inspiration of life, energy, hope, radiating life, love, laughter and purity.
She will never be forgotten and we will keep her memory, her spirit and flame alive within us.

My heart goes out to Ashley’s mom, dad brother and sister for what is one of hardest experiences a human being ever has to face - especially the loss of one’s child. You raised a rare and shimmering gem, and we the public are blessed by what you gave us in the person of your daughter. Fly high Ashley!

To the friends and family of Ashley
Isidingo was one of our favourite soapies. When we moved to Texas we used to check the website every day to find out the latest and were shocked to hear about the death of Ashley.
She will definately be missed and this is a great loss to the entertainment world.
Be strong and keep the faith
All the Best

its been months now but i still fell the pain of losing one of my favourite actresses. isidingo is no longer the same. it had a wonderful vibe when you were still alive because you were the only one who could tame the irritating character Barker. you could have saved rajesh from his circumstances if you were still alive.
February 17th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Dear Family
Not only was I fan, but she was a role model to me, I loved her to bits, the only reason I watched Isidingo was beacause of Ashley, she will be missed very dearly, my condolens to the family.
Many thanks
