Cassandra Epp - January 15, 2006

We knew you only for a short while,
Your giggles of joy filled the air.

The light of God shone in your smile,
A gift our Creator shared.

Our hearts are dimmed as your spirit moved on,
We will sorely miss you now.

God Blessed us well – while your presence brightly shone,
Devine Creator – comfort those who remain, and teach us how.

Love Auntie Margaret-Ann

Dear Rhonda, Dan and Cory, I have just come from Casi's memorial service and I am over-flowing with emotion and memories. I will always remember Casi's smile, the "big sister" way in which she worried about everyone who was ever placed on her team. The sweet way in which she always said "Hellow Mrs. Jack" and filled me in on her life. My favourite memory of her and I have a picture which I will send you, is when we went to Bible Camp with Kids Club, and she allow me to back comb her beautiful blond hair for the "Bed-Head Contest". My heart is filled with so much sadness knowing I will never see her and her wonderful smile again. God is very lucky to have three beautiful angels and we are very lucky to have them up there looking down on all of us. God Bless Lesley Jack

I was looking for the announcmant of a friends passing today. I saw your little angel and she filled my eyes with tears. I lost my sister at 17, and I just wanted to share with you a few things. Tje pain never really goes away, you just learn to live with it. And the most comforting thing, is to do something that she believed in. Maybe take a make up course? Or take a fashion design course. Just do anything that keeps your angel in your heart. That is the most accepting feeling I have ever had. I feel so much mourn for you. And I have tears in my eyes right now. Please e mail me if you need support . I know how it feels, and I will be praying good things for you , your family , and Cass tonight



Amy, with love and understanding

My heart felt condolences go out to the Epp family. Casi was a really nice girl even though I didn't know her that well. I always knew who she was when i was walking through the halls at school. She seemed like the type of person that could always make someone smile. You will be missed greatly.

Cassie,

We never got the chance to get to know you. You have always been in our thoughts and prayers. I know that you are with God.

Love always.

"Casi" was very special to us. She was such a happy child always, with a smile on her face often. I know she loved to sing. I remember how I would sing the girls to sleep and in the end the girls memorized the words to the songs. "This little light of Mine, I'm going to let it shine", "To be like Jesus", and "Keep me true Lord Jesus, keep me true". Casi, we will greatly miss you and will always love you. Grandpa and Grandma, Art & Kathleen

Our hearts were saddened when we learned of the loss of Casi. Although we only saw her infrequently we know how much she was loved by all of her extended Epp and Nickel families.

Casi,

We didn't get a chance to know you due to family circumstances but you were loved and thought of often. Your dad, Donovan and step-mom Kelly along with your grandparents Art & Kathleen Epp (Roland,MB) spoke often about you and your sister Cori. You will be loved forever and greatly missed by all of your relatives in Manitoba.



Love your uncle and aunt

Casi is so very special to all who knew her. As long as I knew Casi she always had a smile on her face and was always very kind and sweet. She will be very much missed by many people, including my sister, Catherine, and my mother, Lesley.
