To the Family,

I have fond memories of the whole family especially Carole and the grandparents.
As a child in grade school at St Albert the Great I became friends with Carole. I was invited many times to the beautiful estate of both Dr. Cassalia and his parents. We played with the horses and goats. My sister, Lorie was friends with Marie. Later in life my wisdow teeths crossed paths with Dr. Cassalia. I was sad to read about his passing. In January my mom, Kathleen Weitort passed. My sympathy is extended to all.

Dr. Cassalia always made me feel like one of the family. When he saw me, even if it was years since the last time, he would hug me and introduce me as an adopted daughter which would bring huge smiles to both of us! He was a great friend to my dad & mom, Thomas & Evelyn Donze and the best man at their wedding. I know he will be missed by all in our family and we all extend warm thoughts and prayers to the entire family. With our love - June Donze Morgan, Glen & Tom Donze, and Deb Donze DeArment and families.
