Cassandra was one of the most caring people I knew and a very loyal friend. She was always there for me as well as anyone else...she never met a stranger. Those that knew her were the lucky ones. I was honored to have her stand beside me the day I married and though this time is heartbreaking for so many of us, she will always be loved and remembered. She will remain in our hearts forever!

Cassandra had a smile that would brighten the room when she walked in, she never met a stranger, and was always there to cheer you up. She has impacted everyones lives that knew her, and those that weren't given the chance have missed out on a spectacular person. Life without Cassandra will not be the same, all memories of her will be cherished. Please pray for her family, friends, and fiance' Daniel Crow.

Cassandra was the most loving and caring person to so many people. Her life was an inspiration for all who knew her. She had a passion for life that we have never seen in another person. To lose a best friend is heartbreaking, and she will always be loved, remembered, and honored.
