Dear The McManus Family,
Although I wasn't incredibly close with Cassidy, the couple of times we got to hang out with each other were fun. Cassidy was a really sweet person. I saw her at the Apple Fest, and as soon as she saw me, she yelled my name and gave me a big hug. She always had a smile on her face and was a beautiful dancer. You are all in my prayers; I'm so sorry for this loss.

The McManus Family,
Bless you and your family, I cannot imagine going through what you are. I did not know cassidy, but my cousin went to school with her, and my sister, cassidy, knew her. Just by the way they reacted by the untimingly passing of her, she MUST have been adored by all. I've got to say, your daughter was one of the most gorgeous girls i have ever seen. Remember, even though you werent ready for her to go, god only takes the best.
may angles lead you in.

Cassidy was a one of a kind. Whenever I was upset she would always make me so happy! I will never forget all the good times we had together, she was like a sister.

Dear McManus family,
I would like to take this time to tell you how lucky you are to have a daughter like Cassidy. She was always smiling, laughing and really enjoyed life. At dance she worked so hard because she always wanted to improve her skill, and that was her motivation...to get better. She was the "life of the party" and made you feel so welcomed in everything you did with her. Helping her get ready for the school dances are the greatest memories of all. Almost every friday was a dance and we always got ready together and danced the night away. It was just those few hours that made us closer and closer, and that made our friendship even stronger. Cassidy will always be remembered, and never ever be forgotten. She is in a better place, and is flying free. God Bless.

Mr.McManus, Mrs.McManus and Rob,
i am so sorry to see this happen to someone we all know and love very much. Cassidy was one of my best friends and im reallly upset, but i can only imagine what your going through but things will get better because even though cassidy isnt physically here with us right now, she is in our hearts and i know that she is watching over you guys everyday and every niht because she loves you guys so much. Cassidy was best friend and we have had some many great times together (and i will never forget the jonas brothers concert with her because we had such a great time together.) She has made such an impact on my life and im pretty sure she made a huge impact on anybodys life that knew her because she was such a loving and caring girl. She always made me laugh when i was sad, she always made me smile when i didnt want to. And i always knew when we were in school in gym class and i couldnt play because i was hurt, she would always be there right next to me sitting on the stage with me to make me happy when i was bored. She was such a good friend and she always had my back, and i will never forget that. I will always be praying for you and your family and for Cassidy, and i know she is in a better place right no, and shes happy and thats what matters.
i love you guys so much. and just remeber that she is watching over you right now, pretecting you. <333

Dear Mr. McManus, Mrs. McManus & Rob,
There's never a day that goes by that I do not think about Cassidy. She was such an amazing girl. What hurts me the most is that I dont hear my brother talking to her at all hours of the night on the phone anymore. It's so quite. Hard to get used to hearing them not laughing together. I remeber when i used to come to St.Stephen's to visit I'd always say hi to her and talk to her. Everytime i looked over she was always smiling and its hard to not see it anymore, except in our memories. The pain i feel now that she's gone, I know doesnt even compare to yours. It's hard to lose such an amazing person. But you always have to think that she doesnt want you to be sad she wants you think about the memories of her. God wanted her to come back to him. If he didn't, then he would have kept her with us today, which i pray every night he would have kept her with us. She truely was an angel an angel to you me and hundreds of people. Please stay strong for Cassidy. She's watching and the more your down she gets down. She wants to see your family happy. Even through the holidays. I miss Cassidy so much and I know my brother Tim. misses her more then ever because he was so close to her. You are always in my prayers. Cassidy's watching
May God help you through your time of need,

Mr. McManus, Mrs. McManus & Rob,
I am extremely sorry, I know that this was so sudden. And for me, it was unbelievable. Cassidy was my best friend, and i love her so much. With all the pain I have been feeling, I can't imagine what you are feeling. She is loved by so many. Cassidy was and still is an amazing person. She was the only one who laughed at all of my jokes with me...even though most of them were not funny at all! She made me smile every single day, and every time we were together we laughed until we cried. Even though she is in a better place, it still hurts.. i know it does. But we have to continue to stay strong, because she loves you all so much and wants you to be happy. She is in paradise, and guiding us everyday. People used to tell Cass and I that we had the same personality because we would always smile, and laugh at everything, we would call each other sisters. She was my sister, other half and best friend..and she ALWAYS WILL BE. I love her so much, and she is with me everyday. I know she is. I want you to know, that I am praying for you always, I talk to Cassidy every night before I go to sleep, too. She is my guardian angel, and yours.
I love you all, and please, don't forget that.

The McManus Family-
I may have not known Cassidy that well, but we had a lot of fun together in class. She had a positive influence on me. I always loved to watch her dance. I would watch her recital numbers over and over and never getting tired of it. It was almost like she had a natural talent for ballet. She always tried hard and never gave up. No one will ever forget her. We shared tap and jazz classes together and she always made me smile.I am very sorry for your loss. She will live on in our hearts forever. Everyone loved Cassidy and she made everyone smile. May God help you through this hard time and your family will live on through our prayers. It won't be the same at Kennetts without you. I'll miss you Cassidy!!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
