REV. ANTHONY J. CASSESE

I miis my dear friend very much

Dear Georganne and family:
You have been and will be in my heartfelt prayers on your loss of Father Tony. May God bless and console all of you. Fondly, your classmate,

My sincere sympathy to Fr. Tony's family and dearest friends, although I had never met him I have heard wonderful stories about him over the years from a mutual friend. He is now at home where we all hope to be one day in Our Lords eternal home free from all pain and earthly suffering. jn

My condolences to Fr. Tony's family, friends and parish community. My own father, LerRoy Matthews, had the privilege of caring for Fr. Tony's CF for many years.and encouraged Fr. Tony in his vocation. Years later, when my father suffered a stroke, Fr. Tony was a frequent visitor to the ICU sitting th our family, administering the sacraments, and entertaining us with his stories.

Our prayers for you now as you so often prayed for us.
-Samuel (and Molly) Campola

What a wonderful priest. So many fond memories from when I was a child in Cleveland Heights at St. Louis. You'll be greatly missed.

Father Cassese, so much more than just a priest. A real person, mentor and friend! One of a kind with humorous honesty, thanks for all the great memories.
