Colonel,
Oh my! Our deepest & most heartfelt sympathy is with you & your family. Our hearts hurt terribly when we heard the news. Cass was such a wonderful person and had a big presence where ever she was at. She will bless heaven with her great sense of humor. I know that when the activities are done and life is back to routine, you will feel her absence the most. Please call us for dinner or just to get together when you are up to it. We have always thought the world of you since we met when Jeremiah was in NJROTC. Our prayers will continue to be sent.

Colonel and Family,
Words can not express my sympathy for you. I was blessed to know Mrs. Nardo, I know she will be missed tremendously. I have always considered you and Mrs. Nardo a part of my family, as you have always been there for not only me, but my wife and son. Heaven has surely gained a WONDERFUL soul. Like the Fr. said she is the wave that has returned back into the wonderful ocean God has made. Please accept my condolances. Also, Damaris, Logan and myself are always here if you need us.

Dear Colonel Nardo and family,

Dan and I want to let you know that we are thinking of you at this difficult time. We were so fortunate to have the honor of getting to know Cass when our daughter, Kim Dreyfuss, was a part of that wonderful ROTC program at Oviedo High. Please know that you will be in our prayers.
