What do you say at a time like this? The world has lost such an amazing woman and such a testament to so many. She inspired and touched numerous lives in so many ways. She was an angel on earth, but now she is an angel in heaven. Her pain is gone and she has been made whole. I will keep your family in my prayers as you go through this difficult time. She loved life and so many loved her. I will carry our friendship and my memories in my heart. God had his plan and her message inspired all she touched. She will be greatly missed.

Cummings, Cara and Coleman, Your wife and Mom will be remembered by so many for her love of family, dedication to her God and beauty of life.

With great sorrow, we learned of Cassandra's passing. She was a wonderful teacher to Taylor. I will never forget such joy she had, when she shared with me that a mom of one her students had accepted Christ. She was a true witness and disciple for Christ. Her battle is over. Find comfort in knowing, Jesus welcomed his faithful servant home.

My heart goes out to the entire family. Cassandra was an inspiration to me and everyone she met. What started out 9 years ago as a parent/teacher relationship, developed into a lasting friendship. My heart breaks for such a precious loss but I know she is in Heaven right now, free from pain and shining that beautiful smile that we all loved so much! She will truly be missed but I take comfort in knowing that I have such a wonderful friend waiting for me when I do get to Heaven!
