I didnt really know cassa, I had met her a long time ago at camp but after that I never really saw her untill she came to MPA. I dont know any storys about her or anything that could make you laugh or even really smile but I can tell you that She was a great person, I always saw her smile and laughing with friends. Even though she passed so young I know that she will live in our hearts forever, I know she left a mark in mine. God has a reason for everything and I know that there is good in this just waiting to be let free. I'm praying for all of her friends and family. God Bless.

Love, Nichole Parsons

I am so sorry to hear about Cassa's passing. She and my son Ryan went to Adventist Christian Academy together. I enjoyed seeing her and giving her a hug whenever she visited the Sharon SDA church, and will miss her smile and gentleness.

OHMIGOSH. Kat Chavis called my dean and told me what happened to Cassa. She was my best friend while she was here at Pisgah, and when she left, nothing was the same. She and I had so much in common, and rarely didn't have anything to say to eachother! I still can't believe that she's not there anymore... with her wacky sense of humor and her crazy eccentricities!! Even though there is a huge hole in my heart, I thank God everyday that He allowed me to know Cassa when I did and that she was such a good friend to me and all else who knew her. My deepest sympathies are with you and you family at this horrible time! Love and prayers always,

Cassa was an amazing person. I got to know her very well when she was in drama at MPA her Sophomore year. She was fun to be around and would always lift your spirits if you were down. She was a great friend and had a great impact on my life. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. She will be greatly missed by everyone especially me.

I never really got to know Casa that well, but whenever I did get to talk to her it was like an adventure. There was always somthing new or interesting to talk about when she was around and she made the atmosphere humorous and delightful. I pray that God will be with ya'll in this sad week. And I pray that he will comfort you.

i never knew Cassa. I came to MPA for my sophomore year, right after she had left. I want you to know that I have heard nothing but good things about her. My friends tell me how nice she was, and how enjoyable she was to be around. I know what it's like to lose some one. However, i have always found that in times of death, it is always better to celebrate the person's life, rather than putting our lives on hold.

God will help you through this. Just listen to Him. He won't make your problems go away, but He will carry you through them. I promise to pray for you.

I hope that at least some of what I have said is comforting.

Dear Cassa's Family,

I only knew of Cassa by my daughter, Kandi, who was also a new Cheraw High Senior. Kandi would come home and tell me of a wonderful friend who would always bring a smile to everyone's face. Kandi was very fornunate to have at least one class with Cassa. They were even partners on one progect.

Cassa will truly be missed! My heart is with you all! May God bless you!
