Delightful, charming, and fun are words I  would use to describe Cassidi from the few times I was fortunate enough to spend with her. From the pictures of the personal tributes and memories on her casket, the impact she made on family and friends is evident. My heart goes out to Gary and all the family in the loss of Cassidi who meant so much and was loved by so many.

I met Cassidi and spoke with her only a few times, and it was so apparent what a beautiful, sweet spirit she was/is. I live a few doors down from her dad on Jo Anne Lane and the first time we met she sat and visited for quite awhile during our yard sale, which I was impressed by. Other times I'd see her taking walks through the neighborhood. Although I didn't know her well, she is someone that I feel truly thankful to have crossed paths with in this life. You don't need to spend much time around such a beautiful, unique spirit to be touched on a deep level in a way that somehow sweetly lingers and helps to give you strength and hope in your everyday life. I'll miss seeing Cassidi and I'll always remember her.  Janel

We were so fortunate to know this amazing young lady.  She was the bright spot in the room.  Always knew there would be many laughs if Cassidi was there.  Our deepest sympathy to all the family, especially Annette, Gary and Shasta, can't tell you how sorry we are for your loss.

Hands Down one of the best people I have ever had in my life!

Cassidi and I have been friends for over 15 years. She was my daughters God Mother and one of my dearest friends. We had many adventures together and created memories that will last a lifetime. She always had a smile on her face and was the first person to help someone in need. I wish that I could have some of her character and personality to continue to spread to others in the way that she did. She found happiness in everything; no matter what the situation was. Cassidi could brighten up any room just by walking in and she will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to know her. I imagine that now that she is in Heaven she even more free than she was here. 
God has gained an angel and we have lost a friend. 
Until we meet again my friend. 
I love you.

I knew Cassidi  and Gary years ago. Although we lost touch I have always appreciated the friendship we had at that time. My heart goes out to her mother and father. No parent should ever have to endure the pain of losing a child. She is truly a free spirit now. Rest in peace Cassidi.

This kid was a whimsical comedian. A true pleasure to have known. Never have I met someone who seemed to embody Janis Joplin. I will forever remember Cassidi in a costume, which really seemed to be her regular wardrobe. I always envied her free spirit. It seems she lived the life we all want to live, yet are bogged down by extreme responsibilies. She is blowing mystical bubbles from a giant bubble maker in heaven now. I didn't realize she was only 2 years younger than me, as she will forever remain un-grown up in my mind. Yet so classy. I am truly shocked and saddened. And send her loving family and Festie FAM my condolences. Luv, "lala" Elena from Florida with Cali in my heart.
