My name is Janelle Berger, I wanted to write something here today because i got the opportunity to meet Cassie and I saw the fire and light that she had inside her. She was a bright woman that could captivate you with her beautiful smile. I enjoyed the conversations we had about life, friends and family. I wish i got the chance to see her again because she made me feel alive. When I got the chance to hang out with her she was upbeat and positive, she was smart and clever. She talked about how much she loved Phill and one day i would find someone like him too. I told her once how pretty and artistic she was, and how i loved the way she represented her self threw her hair and clothes. She looked like tough girl and at times im sure she had reasons to be, but when I was with her she was caring and protective, sweet and generous. She touched my life and i will always remember Cassie. My condolences for Phill and Cassie's family.

I lived below Cassie and Phil for several years and truly love them both. Cassie's bright light will be missed terribly. She was an amazing person who would have added a lot to this world if she hadn't been taken so suddenly and young. Her memory will always be in my heart.
