My best friend.. my sister.. not a day goes by that your not on my mind. We drifted apart but the day you went home was the day a part of me was taken home as well. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not. I know your up in heaven watching over us. Things aren't the same without you here. You were truly an amazing person in every way. So artistic, funny, sweet, crazy at times and just plain awesome. I will not let your name die.. everyone will know of you and your greatness. I love you Cassie so much and the pain from missing you will never fade. You were and are my very best friend.. my "sister from another mister". I feel your presence with me everywhere I go. So many memories that keep replaying in my head that just make me smile as big as the ocean.. all the crazy things we did all the laughs we shared.. right down to the mayonnaise and cheese sandwiches.. the honey buns and cheese lol.. I miss you so much.. rest in paradise my beautiful sister <3 ❤

I'd only known you for a relatively short time, and only had the chance to be around you a few times, but that didn't stop your sweet nature and loving character from shining through. Even given the circumstances. You were a beautiful young lady, inside and out, Cassie. I wish I could thank you for always making me and my children feel welcome in your presence. It pains me to know that my son will never have the chance to know you. I have no doubt that he would have loved you. I promise that he will know about you, and he will know that you cared about him. Even in such a short time, you made a lasting impression.
You will be missed by many.

Sweet, sweet Cassie. I have not seen you for a long time.you always remembered me at Christmas and sent us a card. You made me a leather key chain that I use every day. You will be sadly missed by so many and your innocent babies. Grandma will make sure they know you. You are now one of God's Angel's. One day we will meet again. Rest in peace sweet Cassie!

I met u just once and we had a connection I thought was going to turn into a strong friendship. We shared our interest in our small dogs and the love we had for our kids. Im glad to have got that chance to meet u even if was only just once. Rest in peace. We will meet again

Lacey McDowell. Not Stacey McDowell. Honest mistake in my earlier prayer. We are all a bit distraught these days.

I loved meeting Cassie's two children today. She was so strong in spirit with us. I never cried for so long in one single point of time. I just wish the kids didn't see me crying.

Thank you, Carol, for being strong for me today. I was a real wreck crying in your arms.

Tunkashila, Wakan Tanka, Pilamiya washtelo. Wopila.

Grandfather, I ask that you heal the hearts of those who have been severely affected by our loss. Cassandra was a beautiful person. Both inside and out. Truly, both inside and out. I miss her, Grandfather. So very much. But she is with you now, and we know you have an angel with you. She will be in good hands.

I pray for her mother, Carol. Tunkashila, please guide her through this. She is in pain, and needs your help.

I also pray for Cassie's two children. Logan and Stacey. Help them, Tunkashila. Be their light in their own personal world of darkness

Aho! Mitaku Ye Oyasin!

Truer words have never been spoken.
