Nikki DeLoach Issues Birthday Message for Ashley Williams
Taking to Instagram, DeLoach posted a carousel of photos and videos to mark Williams’ birthday. There were two photos of the friends posing, along with a dance video and hilarious videos of Williams being her super funny self with Andrew Walker.
One video showed Williams sitting on the floor in a hallway, going through her purse. DeLoach explained the footage in her very touching caption to Williams.
“Been collecting these gems for a special occasion. And today is that day. It is my girl @ashleywilliamsandcompany’s birthday. She is so easy to love, so easy to celebrate. And she is my favorite person to laugh with. She may lose her hotel key, ear buds and most likely forget most of her shoes on any given work trip BUT her hustle, hard work and brilliant mind is unmatched,” DeLoach wrote.
The “Holiday Unplugged” star went on to share her birthday wish for her pal. “In fact, what I wish for you today, my dearest Ash, is a day in bed with lots of snacks, sparking water and TV. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ASHLEY WILLIAMS! I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH. 🎉🎂,” she gushed.
Williams popped up in the comments to express her love and gratitude for DeLoach. “Omg love you soooooo much thank you for being my FRIENDDDD,” the “Miles to Christmas” star shared.
Although they have never starred in a movie together, Williams and DeLoach became good friends working at Hallmark. They bonded over losing a parent to Alzheimer’s disease and are big advocates for the Alzheimer’s Association.
In fact, DeLoach and Williams have been hosting and organizing the Dance Party to End ALZ fundraiser, created by Kimberly Williams-Paisley, for years. It’s an event that is near and dear to their heart. Their Hallmark family shows up each year to be part of the event.
