So very sorry for your loss – you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
Are filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In Heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
But when I walked through Heaven’s gate
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne
He said this is eternity
And all I promised you
Today your life on earth is past
But here it starts anew
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day’s the same way
There’s no longing for the past
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me
I’m right here in your heart
Cassie and I graduated from high school together. She was always a great friend to me and was really nice. I’m so sorry this happened. My wishes go to her family. She will be missed.

To Cassandra’s family I cannot express my heartache for you. I have children her age and I just couldn’t imagine losing one of them. I didn’t know her personally however I frequent Stop & Shop often and she was such a beautiful breath of fresh air. One of my children went to school with her and he is also heartbroken. Sending you much love and comfort.
Dear Jennifer and Mrs. Carlson:
We are very saddened to hear about Cassandra. We remember you both from our neighborhood growing up and how kind and generous you were to our family. We send our deepest condolences and hope that you both take some comfort in knowing that you are thought of at this time.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Cassandra personally, but know her from Stop and Shop. She was a beautiful young woman and a hard worker. I pray you find peace and soothing at this time in your lives. Nobody should have to feel the pain of losing someone at such a young age. My son is her age. I would break. I hope and pray that somehow you feel that peace and comfort. I pray all the good times to live in your memories and bring love to you always. God bless!
