My love and prayers are with you all always. Grandma will be truly missed by many people. However, I'm sure that Jesus is enjoying her company right about now and she is enjoying Jesus, no doubt in my mind about that. God's paradise in heaven must be quite spectacular from the way Jesus describes it. She was truly blessed to have such a loving family. I'll miss you to Grandma.
God Bless you all.

Love Sandi, Ernie, Naomi and Jake

I could talk to you about anything Gram. You were the only Grandparent I ever really knew. I could also confide in you like a close friend....I could live to be 10,000 years old and I would never forget you....Perhaps heaven for us will be like a Casino in the clouds, where someday I will see you again. We can split a box of wine and each play two slot machines at once as we look down on our grandkids children etc. etc. I miss you already Gram......Love, Dave

Dear Bernard and Michael and all the family. I was so sorry to hear of Alda's passing. She spoke about having Thanksgiving dinner with all the family. She said over 100 come. One day we will eat a very special Thanksgiving meal in Heaven, The Marriage Feast of the Lamb. Your mom was a very special gentle soul. She told me that "God is healing me day by day." Now there are no more sicknesses, pains, sorrows... Jesus has wiped away all her tears. Now, Jesus wipe our tears away. Amen. Your friend and Alda's, Stan Webster, Chaplain OLOM

Once in a while
Someone comes along
That one in a million heart
So pure and so strong
They can face up to the tears
And somehow still find a smile
We only get them
Every once in a while

Once in while
Someone has the eyes
That one in a million look
Never tells lies
They can get you on your feet
To walk that extra mile
We only see them
Every once in a while

Oh, they can face up to the tears
And somehow still find a smile
But we only get them
Every once in a while
Alda M. Casey was some of God's best work.
she had a passion for people.
she was funny.
honest and as beautiful a person as they come.
she could enlighten ,energize and empower your spirits,
to make you feel good about yourself.
she could have you laughing freely and loudly,
over simple things.
you could practically see yourself in her reminiscence tales.
you were aways welcome in her heart and her home.
she lived and loved effortlessly without boundaries,
and our lives will aways be filled with the graces that she bestowed upon us.
God Speed

Dear Casey Family,

On behalf of the DiDomenico Family, we would like to express our deepest condolences. We lived next door to Alda for many years on Livingston Avenue and have always had the highest regard for her. She was such a kind, soft spoken lovely woman. It was an honor to have known her.

GG was a Great Grandmother like no other. She was good for giving me cookies and I loved getting into her kitchen cabinets the most when I was younger. No one could ever top GG . She was the best. I will miss GG's hugs & kisses the most.
Love,
Connor
