Dear Bill and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard the sad news this morning. I remember the day we met was on a walk led by Brenda Monroe, to view the CFP properties. I had the pleasure of working with her, and you too Bill as a CFP volunteer. She volunteered so many hours in various capacities over the years. I can't picture her without her radiant smile! She was in my thoughts yesterday while I attended the CFP Easter egg hunt with my daughter and grandson. She spent many years helping the Easter bunny! I will remember her fondly.
In sympathy and friendship,
Jeannie O'Donnell-Northup

I knew Cass as a patient at Easton Pond Chiropractic. She really did light up the office and I always looked forward to chatting with her in the waiting room. She was always smiling and so friendly. She liked seeing my kids and was so proud of her grandkids. She really made you feel like you were her friend and she cared about everyone around her. I will really miss her.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful person that helped me so much with our Girl Scout troop. She was always busy raising her beautiful daughters and running a business.

Dear Bill, Ruth, Chris, Kim, Kate,Julie, Tina, Diana, Jan, Paul,and Family,
I am so sad for your loss. Cass had a wonderful way of sharing her love with you all. She really celebrated life with great style and created fun. During my childhood I couldn't wait for school vacations so that I could get to Sowams Road for days of laughter and fun. I know she loved her family so much - was so proud of you all and enjoyed every minute with you.

Chris, Kim and Kate,
I don't have a single memory of my teenage years that dosen't include Cass and the 3 of you. Cass' smile was infectious and she had a way of making everyone feel important. There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss. I hope you find comfort in knowing that your mom touched many lives and her memory will live on within each of us who had the great priviledge of being part of her life. My love and prayers go out to your entire family.
