Sweet, Sweet Ariel...You know you will forever be in our hearts and our thoughts. You will be missed more than you ever could have imagined. Your sweet nature and your amazing smile that could light up a room will never be replaced. I'm happy you are with your Daddy and I look forward to the day we will all be together again and be able to laugh and smile again together.
Keep watch over your Mother and your sisters and brother. They will all be with you again one day. Until then we will all keep you in our hearts and cherish the time we had with you.
Know you were loved here on Earth and are loved still...now and always!

Jennifer I remember the day you brought Ariel home and when you used to take her to the feed store to sit with Shawns parents. I also remember the day you lost Shawn. I thought that all tragedy had been gone from your life and nothing but joy would follow you and your girls. When I heard about this I cried tears of sorrow for you and all your family. I pray that you and your family will survive this tragedy with the grace and love that has pulled you through all your other sorrows. Ariel was a beautiful baby and beautiful child she had wonderful role models with you and her grandparents. She was a valiant soul who put her family first and her love for her family uppermost in her life you can continue to be proud of the young girl and young woman she became. I will always hold your family close to my heart as well as I pray for closure for all of you in the knowledge that she was a hero in so many ways and will continue to remain one for all of us along with Kensie such a bright and wonderful child. May God bless and hold you in his arms while Shawn and Ariel guide you with their everlasting love.

Ariel, I've watched you grow up. We've had many fun family times together, and I still can't believe what happened. I'm so sorry and sad that I couldn't attend the memorial service for you. I really would have liked to have been there. I love you, and you will be very much missed.
Kenzie, you are amazingly strong and brave. I am so proud of you for what you did. I pray that you stay strong for you and your family in the tough days ahead.
Jenn, I hope and pray for your full recovery very soon! I love and miss you all!

god bless her family i was raised in kingman and knew the beast that did this.my prayers are with you at this time of need god bless each and everyone of her family.


"She was very outgoing, very bubbly," Gudel said, "like the sweetest person you ever met. It's just a tragedy. She didn't even get to live her life."

"It was just the three of us girls after that," she said. "Ariel grew up to be a beautiful young lady. She did gymnastics. She was outgoing and she had a million friends.

"She turned out to be a better person than I ever could have imagined."

Jennifer Allison said Ariel was the leader of the family and the glue that held it together.

Ariel's grandfather, Bob Allison, spoke as a slideshow of photographs played on two television screens in the courtroom of Superior Court Judge Rick Williams.

The slideshow included photos of Ariel as a toddler, as a preteen with braces, a high school cheerleader and on her graduation day. There was another one taken at a Kingman park hours before she was murdered.

Bob Allison told about filling in for Shawn whenever Ariel needed a father. In first grade she invited him to a father and daughter breakfast at school.

"She had a plan for life,"
said Bob Allison. "A real plan. She worked at Sonic and took all the hours she could get. She never forgot to call us on the holidays and our birthdays."

In 2005, when she was 15, Ariel left her mother's home to live with her grandparents. Ketchner had just been released from prison on drug charges and moved in with Jennifer. The two have children in common, but Ariel didn't want to be there.

"She was a neat and organized person," he said. "Her room looked like she was expecting company."
