I knew Cassidy from frequenting The Loop. Although our aquaintance was infrequent, she always greeted me with a hug and a warm smile. I will miss you, Cassidy!

A life to young released to heaven...
Left on earth we wonder why?
Some are sent among us briefly...
Some have spirits meant to fly.
We will miss Cassidy and her beautiful sweet smile.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Cassidy's smile brought joy to our family every time we saw her at The Loop or in Manitou, which was at least once a week. Cassidy was always wonderful to our daughter who made her first appearance at The Loop when she was 3 days old. We will miss her greatly.
