So many of us PBHS students remember the great times we had at the Casey house. Mr. and Mrs. Casey made all that possible. I know we will laugh with joy as we remember Mrs. Casey and what she meant to us all.

I have so many great memories of the whole Casey family when Bette and I were young teachers and we would spend our spring break with the Casey clan. I will always cherish the hospitality, kindness, and fun of those days. My friend Bette has become an amazing extension of all the good things that were at the core of the Casey household. I know many of Mrs. Casey's final years were difficult, but I also know that Bette and Dale worked very hard to make it all work. I hold all of the Casey family in my heart. Much love, Hedy

Bette,
One Georgia summer evening, your mom and I sat together in the swing on our back porch - quietly swinging and talking. The time was special and has become a cherished sweet memory.
Dan and I send our love, prayers, and hugs for you, Dale, and Brian.
