I will always remember Cassidy as a little girl at Thomas Jefferson Elementary sporting so much sparkle and bling in both her personality and her attire. She lit up the room with her big smile and sparkling eyes and oh so much pink! She fought long and hard. I pray that you feel the Lord's arms around you through this difficult time! Much love!

This has knocked the wind out of me. I feel my heart breaking for Kenny, Kimberly, and Cole. Living a distance away I've not kept up with Cassidy's battle and assumed no news was good news, even reaching remission. She was a beautiful, heroic, young woman gone to soon. My deepest sympathies go out to my cousin Kenneth, his wife Kimberly, my Uncle and Aunt, Kenneth and Gloria Richardson. God has a new angel today. We will all reunite with you again someday.
