I can't believe you're gone. I know in my heart you are watching over me, keeping me strong for the rest of the family. I miss you so much. Started thinking today, it was exactly 14 years ago to the day that I lost a friend and you took me to the funeral home to see him. You held my hand and told me not to be afraid, that he was with our Lord. I had never been so close to death, and was instantly overcome by a strength with you there. This is the first year that today has passed without a phone call from you -checking on me-You called me every year on this day and I would wait for you, knowing almost the exact moment the phone would ring. I love you and yes, I am fine.

To My Wonderful Sister, Cassandra: I will miss you dearly. I feel blessed to have had you in my, and my children's lives for the short time we had. I thank God each moment that he let you leave us peacefully and pain free. I know that you rest with Him and have no more worries. Mother and I went out to your grave today and put up a beautiful Christmas tree for you (which Ms. Izzy and Mason helped decorate)...it was so hard to imagine that we'll not see your beautiful face this Christmas. But, I know you will enjoy looking down on that tree and on all of us as we move forward and celebrate for you.
To my awesome nephew, Charles Jr.: you are all grown up now and made your mother so proud. I am here for you anytime you need me. Please continue living the direction that God, and your mother, would be proud of. I love you with all my heart.
To Everyone Else: Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts. The food and blessings...It means so much to our family that you have all been here for us. We love you all.

Choose you this day whom ye will serve...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Jos:24,15

She walks the halls of heaven walking side by side with God. The halo she has is hovering above her head. Thinking of the thoughts she has of when yall were kids running and playing. fighting and playing. Teh aruguments you may of had is going to be the good thoughts and she may run in and out of the thoughts you have. But we will remember her as an angel in heaven and a beloved sister.

she may not known me as well but im still going to say goodbye. She is in a better place as she walks around listening to her familys thoughts. She may no longer feel her pain because it has all gone away. God is going to keep her safe from all the harm she would have and has have. Time after time you will think about her and it will seem as if she shouldnt be gone but God takes people when he likes and that means the time is right. Tears will fall and surround your embrace but she is doing better now. So no worries. She is flying above us with the angels and watching you as you sleep to keep you safe from harm!

I dont really know what to say but heres a good try... Her thoughts will soon fill your head, we are all going to realize that my dear Aunt Cassandra is gone now.. the thoughts of her will play in our head. But she wants us to remember the good thoughts and the funny ones too! She was our rock and our everything...Connie, her mother, is going to need us through this sad time.. So all join hands to remember this great woman..
NOW I HAVE A POEM:
she hears our Christmas songs filling our houses with joy, while she is listening in on our thoughts.. she wants us to stay strong because she would for us.. she is the rock that holds us together as a family.. the halls she walks down are pure white, there is snow surrounding her in her white faded gown and pure gold halo. as kids you spent Christmas together but now you spend it apart. God is going to keep her safe when she goes to cry god will hold her tight. No worries for her she is alright, so soak up the tears and sing a Christmas song. Remember the ood times when yall were kids, because thats what she would want from us this Christmas New Year! <3 love always Ariel.

" My Loving Sister "
As this pen crosses the paper,know and believe these are the hardest words I've ever writen. I feel your energy running thru me.Letting me know that words cant decribe the paradise you are in now.
It has been and always truely will be the greatest honor of my life being your sister. If only I could be a third of the person you became in life I would be doing good.
Sister,I know your smiling.I know that now you feel no pain.And I know as you look down here at all of us,you want us to know that theres no need for tears because your in the greatest place anyone can hope to be.
Our hearts share so much.Many times before when we lived miles away from each other,our hearts beated as one when the other was in need.So,I know your here with me.And with that alone,I'll be okay.
You've been given the chance I long for..to finally be with our daddy.No words can begin to describe my love for you!
Your sister Always-N-Forever !!

" My Sister "

Of all the hands I'd rather hold it's the one's of my family. Mothers and Fathers share one bond but unlike the bond of my sisters and me.
Tonight I feel unlike ever before my prayers have bombarded above. I feel his energy filling me inside begging to keep a sister that I love.
Each breath you take we beg for one more. Knowing how hard it is for you to fight. The power we hold when we stand together is unbreakable and solid tonight.
As you rest a few days and more know that many of hundreds are by you're side. A remarkable amount of people standing with prayers,tears,hugs and pride. So,sister I've pleaded with the man above.Now it's all up to God and you.
Once you stood where I stand now,not knowing if you'll pull thru. So,Im asking you and God tonight...Bring you back,just a little more.I know our time here is borrowed but,we still need you.
Praise the Lord
In loving memory,your sister always,

Mrs. Cassandra will be greatly missed.
I will never forget her sweet spirit, and kind heart.
When we were in Bible study together she always was an encouragement to me. She loved the lord and her family with all her heart.
She always had a smile on her face no matter how bad she felt.
She always had a listing ear for someone else to lean on.
I will miss her greatly, but I have the assurance I will see her again in Heaven one day. Bro. Charles it is an honor for Denis to be a pallbearer, we love you all .

Sincerly,

To my family - Aunt Connie, Uncle David, Shelly, Judi Ann, Missy, Glenda - and to Lil Charles and big Charles - my heart breaks along with yours. There are so many memories that have been flooding through my mind in the past few days. I sat in the waiting room beside you all and all I could think of, was how much Cassandra would love to have been right out there in the middle of us - giving everyone a hard time as only she could with that beaming smile of hers!

The next few days, coming weeks, and even months & years, will be difficult at times. Although it is hard to understand why this had to happen, I find comfort in knowing she is in a better place - a place where she can walk and run again. A place where she has no pain. A place where she can see loved ones again who have gone before us. And a place that she can prepare and wait for all of us to join her one day.

I love you all so very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, today, tomorrow and throughout life. Below is something I wanted you all to have. Its a poem, that I found years ago that touched my heart. I'd like to think this is what Cassandra will be saying to us:

My First Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless
Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
was always most important
the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
my Father said to do.
I can't count the blessing or love
has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
Wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year

I cannot believe that I am writing this. Sandra - you were a wonderful cousin and friend. You were like a sister to me. You loved your son so much - he truly made you happy- it showed anytime you spoke of him. I am so thankful that Brittney had the opportunity to get to know you and she loved you so much. If only people could be as kind as you the world would be a better place.
To my cousins: Shelly, Judi Ann, Missy and Glenda, to Little Charles and to My Aunt Connie - I am so sorry - I know there are no words that I can say to make this any easier. I pray that God give you much strength to get though this very sad time. We all carry many happy memories of Cassandra that can help now and in the future. I love you all and if you need anything please let us know. Love Carla & Larry
