To Cassie’s family, Jeff, and her friends, I’m truly sorry for your loss. I worked with Cassie at MTD and sat at the lunch table with her and Jeff sometimes. Even though I didn’t know her that well, I know she will be greatly missed. Once in a while when I got a chance to talk to Cassie, what struck me the most about her was the way her eyes sparkled when she would smile and laugh about something. I’ll always remember her bubbly personality and her laugh. Work will never be the same without you Cassie. I wish I could have had a chance to know you better! My thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones. God will have the greatest angel in Cassie. Hope to see you again someday Cassie!

I will never forget your beautiful smile and how much you made me laugh and to get to spend your 21st Birthday w/you. Jeff you are in my prayers.
You may not be with Us now, but Cassie you will never be forgotten. The good Lord needed someone with him to make him laugh and you will enlighten him with the wonderful way you made us all enjoy life and made us laugh. Rest in Peace our sweet Beautiful Cassie!

To Caasy’s family and friends,
I got to know Cassy at Pioneer and was so impressed with the work she did to benefit the American Red Cross. She researched this charity and then worked to raise funds which were donated to the organization. Even at her young age she made a difference while a student at Pioneer. So sorry for your loss. Keeping you in thoughts and prayers.
Trina,
Our hearts were broken to hear about the loss
of your sweet Cassy, what a beauty and what a great loss to everyone who had the privilege of sharing in a part of her short life. She truly had stolen a piece of our hearts. It was a sad day to learn that she was taken so soon, but she will live on in many hearts that loved her so. And she will never be forgotten.
We know that she was very much loved by her family. Cassy was a amazing girl and we will always remember her for that warm beautiful smile and her wonderful caring ways.
So may you feel comfort in knowing just how much she was loved by others. We will keep you and her whole family in our thoughts.
Trina and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that words can’t take away the pain. May God comfort you in the days ahead. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya girl!
