The Burleson Family,

We are very sorry for your loss. My daughter and I had the joy of coaching/playing softball with Kasey in the Worthington Rec League. She was a wonderful young woman with an amazing attitude and spirit. She was a hard worker and we always admired her skill in softball. You all should be very proud of her and know that she will be missed by so many people. Again we are sorry for your loss!

The Burleson Family,

As you know I was a very close friend of Kasey. I have been online for so long now looking at all these comments on so many websites on how Kasey was such a good person. I think it is very important to remind you of how much Kasey was loved. The one most repetitive thing that has been mentioned about Kasey was her beautiful smile. That picture will be kept in my memory forever and that is how I get through everyday. I am here with you by your side and you know where to come if you ever need anything.

Love a new member of your family,

Sami Prentice

There are no words that come to mind to express how sorry I am for your loss, your daughter will be greatly missed and by the looks of things by many many people. She however will never be gone from your hearts. There is a spot there reserved for her and you will never lose that, stay strong and pull through. And feel good knowing your loss has brought out a whole lot of kindness across the country, you have thousands of people praying for you and your family. I know I will tonight.

God Bless your family.

Mark: I Pray for you and your family, the loss of a child is like no other, no words help and only time lessens the loss, but never a day will go by that you won't reflect on her and the love you shared through those brief 16 years. Its hard to understand now but life does go on, your faith in God will be your sanity.

Hi Marsha and Mike-

You may not remember me, but I was Aaron's roommate at Ashland. I met Kasey on a few different occasions, from Lil Sibs weekend to last year on Labor Day. She was a beautiful young lady. Kasey was a friend to many, and I was fortunate to have known her. May the Lord be with you and your entire family at this time of deep pain. My prayers are with you now and forever. God Bless! Tim

Marsha, and Mark,

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I remember meeting Kasey and you Marsha right after you moved in. She was SO nice. Remember the night they were going to take the picture up from outer space and me and Kasey drug you outside and my mom and we stood out there holding our candles up hoping to see them in the picture. I remember talking with her and having so much fun. You had the same relationship with her as I have with my mom. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Kasey was such a great person. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your enitre family. I will try to stop in and see you both the next time I visit my parents.

I read the Dispatch online since moving to Arizona. Like others, I hoped and prayed this wasn't your Kasey. Mark, in the end it is all about memories. Savor the memories and know that you and your family are in the thoughts and prayers of so many. May you find strength in these most difficult times.

Mark and Marsha, I am just sick at the news. I am so, so sorry. We are not supposed to bury our children. Thursday was the 7th anniversary of Dave's death. I feel your pain. May God bless you and Brian. If there is anything I can do or if we can even get together for lunch later please contact me. You know the old friends are the best. I remember Kasey with such fondness. I can still see that cute little thing when you would bring her in the office. God has a purpose and we may never know it, but somehow it will be revealed. God bless all of you.

When I first heard of the tragic death of Kasey I couldn't believe it. For the time that knew her she was a very nice person, full of joy and made me enjoyed coming to math class. Everyday in math she would always make the students laugh in some sort of way, and when I needed help with my work she assisted me. It's really sad that she is not here with us but now she's in a better place. I'm sorry that I won't be able to make it the funeral but my condolences goes out to her family. LOVE YOU KASEY
