Cassandra, you will be missed greatly. I remember the kindness you shared with me as a fresh international student. So many good times working together at Nova Center of the Ozarks in Springfield, and juggling school at SMSU at the same time. You had such a big heart, and so much love for your kids and grandma. I'll forever remember your optimism, and your acceptance of everyone as they were. We were blessed to have had you among us. Rest in Love.

Such a sweet and young heart to be lost way too soon. My heart breaks for her children and those who loved her. I knew her through being Kiara's girl scout leader so didn't know Cassie too well, but we kept in touch on Facebook. I'm so sad to hear about her passing. I know that God has welcomed her with open arms. Rest in peace, friend.

March 6, 2020

I could not convince you to join the Wichita Police Department, but I enjoyed our many conversations regarding the topic. I looked forward to coming to HR to tease you and laugh with you. You had a big personality and your positive attitude and smile was a gift you gave to many people at City Hall. Patrick Leon

I knew Cassandra because I was the Latchkey director, and she would come in and bring her children in every morning. Every morning she would come in singing hello. She was always such a happy person always in a good mood. Every evening, she would come in again, in such a cheery happy mood. She would make this little sound with her mouth and Shaunessey could hear it from far away. It was so cute to see the connection that they had. Cassandra was one of the most friendly people I have ever met. May she rest in peace.

Kathy Kennard

Your beautiful face and contagious smile will be greatly missed in City Hall. I remember sharing stories with you when our youngest children were born around the same time frame. We shared many laughs! Cassandra you were so easy to talk to and no one was a stranger. We were all blessed to have worked with you. Much love to you and your family.
