Cassie was a neighbor of ours for several years. She loved my my girls like her own. She would always invite them over to do crafts and have snacks especially for them. She even randomly dropped a wig off for my oldest because she remembered Bailey loved thr movie Encanto. We will miss your hugs. Rest in Peace. Miss Cassie. Love you! Jen, Sky, Bailey and Leslie. Your neighbors on Linwood Dr.
