I think of her all the time but more now than I ever have since she went to be with the angels.....I miss her soooo much. She just turned 6 years old on February 28, she shouldv'e been here to blow out the candles on her cake but, the cool breeze that day had to do it for her. You are very missed Casey. I love you very much. Love, Marcie

To Boo and Family,
I am not sure if you remember me, but I am Angie's friend, Naomi. I wanted to send my deepest sympathy to you and let you know that you all are in my thoughts. Casey was the brightest, most beautiful little girl I have ever met, and I will never forget her. She was a very special little person, and where there is no comfort in losing someone who meant the world to a lot of people, there comes comfort in knowing that she isn't hurting anymore. If you need anything at all, just let me know. You are all in my prayers.

Casey,
Although I only met you once,I realized quickly that you were a special girl. Your sweet smile and little laugh lit up any room you went into. You are amazing and will never be forgotten! 2 Timothy 4: 7,8

Dear Beth, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your baby girl.I remember comparing baby stories, when you worked for Acme, since our girls were only 4 months apart. She was such a beautiful and intelligent child.I would get to see her when your mom would bring her into the store.My husband read the article in the paper about casey talking about going to see the angels. He said that girl was an angel and she left many people with the message, love your children ,they are angels from god, you never know how long they will be here, cherish every moment you have with them. All of the people you worked with at Acme offer our condolances to you, and will keep you in our hearts and prayers.

Boo and Family, We all will miss Casey very much. No one will every forget those big brown eyes and that awesome smile that was on her face day and night. I will always remember the car rides to the mall when Casey's in the back seat saying "hey mommy turn the music up thats my song". She was always one of the girls and she always will be. She was always a angel but now shes an angel with wings.

I love you very much Beth, Love always and forever, Marcie

God's Lent Child



"I'll lend you for a little while

A child of mine," God said-

"For you to love the while she lives, And mourn for when she's dead.



It may be one or two years

Or forty two or three;

But will you till I call her back,

Take care of her for me?



She'll bring her charms to gladden you And-(should hr stay be brief)-

You'll have her lovely memories

As a solace for your grief.



I cannot promise she will stay,

Since ALL from earth return;

But the lessons taught below

I want this child to learn.



I've looked the whole world over

In search for teachers true;

And from the things that crowd

Life's lane-I have chosen you.



Will you give her all your love?

Not think the labor vain?

Nor hate me when I come to take

This lent child back again?"



I fancied that I heard them say

"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.

For joys Thy child will bring

The risk of grief we'll run.



We will shelter her with tenderness,

We'll love her while we may-

And for the happiness we've known

Forever grateful stay.



But should the angels call for her

Much sooner than we've planned,

We'll brave the grief that comes

And try to understand."

Elizabeth, you may not remember me, but I have fun memories of you when you were a little girl. I dated John while in highschool and I grew to love you just like my little sister. I was so deeply saddened to see that you lost your little girl. It made me wish that you were once again that little girl that could be protected from pain and hurt. I have no answers for what you are going through, only words of comfort that Casey is with Jesus now and has a fully restored body and will no longer experience any more pain. My prayers are with you, "Boo", and your family.
