My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Cayabyabs' and the Camachos' family. I had the honor of making Cassandra's Debut dress. June Tapia called me and I was shock to hear the news. I will continue to pray for the family for peace and blessing during this time of great lost. It is our faith and believe that where Cassandra is, there is no more pain. Love Jocelyn

Cassandra- I still cannot believe that you are no longer with us. I will miss sharing stories with you about our children and motherhood. I am happy that you were able to experience the gift of motherhood. It is such a unique experience. The love a mother has for their child is endless and I know that you will continue to be with your children.
It brings us comfort knowing you are no longer suffering and in pain. You are at peace now. We love you Cassandra.It's not goodbye we'll see you again.

Love- Amy, Mark, Rick, Joshua & Drake

My family and I offer our deepest sympathies to the Camacho and Cayabyab family. I met Cassandra before I began elementary school. What I can remember most about her is that she always had a smile on her face. I am sure she still does. Her smile will be sadly missed.

This comes as such a heartbreaking shock. I remember Cassandra from when I went to Hogan for ROTC. Cassandra was always so sweet, polite, quiet and kind. It's easy to see how Gerald fell in love with her and started a family. I'm truly and sincerly sorry for the loss and pain you're feeling right now. Please be strong and remember all the happiness and love she brought into this wolrd.

My sincere condolences go out to Cassandra's family. We were friends in High School and lost touch after graduation. Cassandra was always a wonderful, vibrant individual to be with. A lovely person who I wish I never lost contact with. I am so sorry for your loss.

My condolences go out to the family. Cassandra and I were in the same math class when I was a sophomore and she was a junior at Hogan. My memories with her were when we would laugh and giggle and talk about girly things in math class. She will be sadly missed!
