Happy Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl! I can't believe that you are a "teenager" today and a beautiful one, I know. When the time comes for me to join you in heaven, I will look for the most beautiful angel and it will be you I know. I love and miss you bunches and Seazon does too! She has a beautiful tatoo that she helped design just for you! It is an angel made from the gold cancer ribbon and beautiful angel wings and your initials, of course. I thought it was a little too big at first, but it is just perfect - all for you!
Happy Birthday, Cassidy!!!

I didn't realize you still had the page. I was looking for someone else and thought I would just check. I did think of Cassidy in March and on her birthday in June. I guess I will always remember her and those dates that marked her short but precious life. She impacted my life forever. I say a prayer for her family everytime she crosses my mind. Lots of love and God bless you all, Cindy Fulmer

Miss Priss, I can't believe it's your 11th birthday. I can only imagine how beautiful of a young lady you would be. It seems like just not long ago you were just a baby. And it certainly doesn't seem like it has been over four years since I got to see you and tell you tales about Weasel. I sure do miss those times. You looked so forward to hearing how she was doing and would get so tickled about what she had done. She is still a mess. I know your birthday in heaven will be a good one. Poppy will make sure of that. HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY, Sweetheart!!
Miss you so much.....Aunt Bev

Suzi,
This is Mimaw Waite (Hamner, Noland, and Cooper's grandmother). This time of year, it is hard to be strong, so go ahead and cry and cry. God gave us this means to get the stress out in the open. We can't bottle it up inside and pretend everything is fine, because everything is not fine. You are here and Cassidy is up there, but we can thank God He is taking great care of Cassidy and she doesn't have a care in the world. She is happy & well, filled with joy, playing with the angels & her countless friends she has made. She never has a dull day. There are plenty of animals to love on and she has family that is always with her, so she is more blessed than we are. Jesus loves children. Don't worry a minute about her.
Our desire is to be there for you as you continue the reality that Cassidy is not here in our presence, but very present in Heaven from whence all good things come.
You know we pray for you and your family, but is there any other way we can help you? Please post it to your caringbridge website and list some things you just don't feel like doing. I would love to be able to do something for you and Cade. Is Cade into Spiderman, transformers, etc?
I want to give you and Cade a great BIG hug, so here it is.........
I love you both very much,
Mimaw Waite

Love you,

Suzie,
I was at Mike & Jennifer's this past weekend. Mike had a birthday on the 25th and Hamner played in a football jamboree. We were there to help celebrate. Jennifer told me you said, "hello." It was great to hear from you. Cade will be running around on the football field before you know it.
I just wanted to send another hug your way & tell you how special you are.
Love you,
Marilyn Waite (Mimaw)

Baton Rouge, LA East Baton Rouge - Thursday, August 27, 2009 2:48 PM CDT
Suzie,
With school starting and football around the corner and Polly recently breaking her thumb, we were talking about cheerleading and reminiscing about when I broke my ankle coming out of the pyramid. I'm pretty sure you and someone else ( I think Bethany) are the ones that took me home and mom was in the bath tub so you guys were hollering that she needed to come out because I broke my leg and she was like "she will be fine, I will come out there when I'm done with my bath"! Do you remember that?
I get a lump in my throat thinking about how you wish you could watch Cassidy cheer or have such good friends to grow up with, etc... My heart aches for you! But I'm so glad you had her to love and for her to love you with all of her heart, even if for such a short while! I really do love you and constantly think about you! No amount of time away can take away the bonds that all of us have! Cade has a special momma!
Much love!

Hey Suzie and family, I just wanted to let you know that I think about yall alot. I had looked at Cassidy's website some when she was sick and then I found it again about 2 weeks ago and literally sat crying reading the whole thing. It was so touching and Cassidy's life was such a blessing. I remember the first time I saw her at Bodyworks. She was always so beautiful. I can't imagine how hard it has been since you lost her but like you said the best healing and way to make it through it is knowing that she is in heaven with Jesus and she is totally healed. I will be praying for yall today and continue to daily. I know I will see you at the baseball park too. I can't wait! Cade is so cute! I hope yall have a good day remembering the life Cassidy had here on earth and how many lives she touched. I know she touched my life!

Suzie, I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you today. Seazon called a little while ago and she said "you know what today is don't you?" She said "I have had her on my mind all day." So thoughts of little Priss are everywhere today - just like they were before.
I miss her so much - I can only imagine how beautiful she is.
Love you,

Hey Suzie and sean. Just wanted to take a minute and update on Sara-Gale and to let you know we "check in" with you guys often on Cassidy's website. It seems that Sara-Gale's boost worked - back to 100% engraphtment! They do not know if this is just a temporary fix or if this did it for good, so they will do monthly engraphtment tests to make sure until they are comfortable that this will hold. My step-son's hodgkins relapsed this summer, so he is receiving chemo at Children's. Sara-Gale is dealing with GVH, but otherwise is doing great. She also has a site on caring bridge, just type in saragalemorris. You guys are in our thoughts and forever in our hearts. Thought you would like to know - Cassidy's "artwork" is still proudly dispayed on clinic walls in stem-cell. She is unforgetable! It sounds as if you have your hands full with Cade - wouldn't have it any other way! Love to all three of you! Kim and Sara-Gale

You continue to be a blessing to me and so many, and so many continue to pray for your family so don't lose heart, because we are still praying. I hope you find some time in your busy schedule to root for Bama. Oh, my, I have just made enemies with some of your Auburn friends. I do pull for Auburn when they play other teams, because they are still in the great state of Alabama. I love you guys and so thankful you are a part of the lives of my children: Mike, Jennifer, Hamner, Noland, Jennifer Allen Saunders and Cooper, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. When you get a chance, give us an update.

Sean, Suzi, and Cade,
I don't mean to hog the guestbook, but you come to my mind so often that when I think of you, I pray for you. A lot of people still pray for you that don't always write in the guestbook. I have a scripture verse I want to leave with you today. It means a great deal to me: "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." Proverbs 18:10 NIV. Whenever I am discouraged, broken-hearted, or depressed or having a bad day, I call out Jesus' name 3 times: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus and it gives me a sense that I am protected and everything is going to be just fine. Keep His name on your lips at all times. I love you all.

Hey Suzie! I've thought about you alot here lately. Since I lost my Mom in January, I truly understand what it feels like for everyone to go back to their "normal" lives, and mine will never be the same. Know that I still check the website, and think of Cassidy all the time. We still pray for you guys, and would love to get together with Rhonda at the beach. Love you, and praying for you esp. hard today. Love, Shelia

I know where Cassidy must have gotten her courage and strenght....MeMaw...Love, Miss Bootsie

You guys are in out thoughts almost every day. Sara-Gale has a picture of Cassidy framed in her room and talks about their fun and craft time on stem-cell. There is something about that little girl that makes her unforgetable. We are putting on our "strong face" once again as we prepare for contacting Sara-Gale's donor. She started losing her engraftment last October and Dr. Kharbanda feels it is time to act. I can only imagine how difficult every day can still be for your family. Please know that even though we have not seen you guys in some time, your bravery and love for Cassidy and Cade has always been an inspiration. We will be thinking of you.

Hey Suzie: Thanks for the update. I have not been such a good friend lately (sorry). That does not mean that I do not think about you guys and pray for you everyday. Parents should never have to go through what you did and I will never stop praying for a cure. We have be so busy with ball, etc. as well. I am like you, ready for a beach trip. Please keep me in mind. Ha!Ha!. The St. Jude Trike-a-Thon was at the preschool today so I proudly sported my Cassidy T-Shirt in remembrance of her. My life is forever changed because of her and her family. I hope to see you guys soon. Call me for lunch.

Cade caught my eye yesterday in the lunchroom while he was lining up to go back to his class and I just sat there and watched him intently because he looks so much like Cassidy (when her hair was short) but mostly I noticed the smiles and body mannerisms that were so much like her. He was cutting up with some of the other kids in his class and he was doing little things like she would do when she felt good and was in a perky or mischievious mood. It made me remember that I haven't looked at the website in a while. God bless, Cindy Fulmer

We wanted to stop by to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. At times it is so hard to be thankful when we have gone through all that we have...I think we share the same sentiment though, that we are just so thankful for the times we did have.
We hope you 3 are doing well. It has been forever since we have talked. We wanted you to kow that we think of you guys often and pray for you to find some comfort. We agree with you too that whoever said this gets easier with time must have been crazy. It hurts just as much today, if not more, that it did 18 months ago.
We pray that you will be able to find some joy and peace through the holidays. They are certainly the hardest time of the year for us as well.
Take care of eachother. We miss you all.

I just read April's entry and can't help but feel the same way. We shared a great bond through our youth that can never be replaced! I'm not sure about what "buffalo" is , but I sure remember you picking me up every morning in your black sports car for cheerleading practice in the summer. I will never forget the first time we met when you moved to Tuscaloosa and going to the skating rink together. And I must say, the cheerleading years were the best! I know I dind't know Cassidy very well, but I sure love her, because I love you! Please email and keep in touch, I would love to hear from you!

It will get a little better with time, but lots of time. With the loss of a child it may be a very long time before it gets any easier to go on. You are ALL still part of my prayers. Cindy Fulmer

ANGEL
Halloween comes the same time each year
It s a day filled with ghosts and goblins
And other monsters we fear, but also beauty from Angels that are dear. I could see you now contemplating what to be, But one look at you and it's plain to see with your beautiful eyes and beautiful long hair
You would be the furthest thing from a nightmare
You radiant smile and rosy cheeks
Those are the qualities that make you unique
You allured us with your, charm and beauty
It will be awfully tricky to make you look freaky
What ever you decide to be on this fun filled day above in the heavenly skies. There are just a couple of things that I want to say. With all those stunning characteristics that you possess. I am sure you will do nothing but impress. Since the day you were born it wasn't difficult for you to sell, The fact that you were an Angel right from the very start!
Happy Halloween ~j~Cassidy~j~!!!
Wishing Cade a Happy Halloween to!!!

Hi Tierces - I just wanted to say "Hello". I still check your site often to see what you all are up to. I think of you often and I am always interested to see what Cade is doing. He sounds like a very interesting little man!
Call me sometime when you are in Birmingham, we are in the Trussville phone book - I would love to meet you for lunch or something.
Ansley amd I were having a cheerleading discussion the other day (she is on a competitive team) and I was telling her about us as double stunt partners for so many years. Remember "Buffalo"??? You will always have a special place in my heart for all of the fun we shared in our youth. It is amazing that we didn't end up weighing 250 lbs. since we stopped at Barron's for ice cream almost everyday after practice. LOL You would be amazed at what these girls can do these days!Our glory days of "We've got that spirit, come on let's hear it!" have been replaced by basket tosses, standing back tucks and 20 girls on a squad.
Take care and I hope you all have a very special holiday season. I am sure that Cassidy loves looking down and seeing her family having some happy times. It is the best way to honor her especially since you have the eternal comfort of knowing that you will be with her again as you spend eternity with our Savior.

Hi Suzi,
I hope that you all will get to come up next Sat, 27th, for the Knockin Cancer out of the Ballpark benefit. I am in awe of the strength of Anne and Bruce to carry through with this so soon after losing Andrew. Hopefully their efforts will get a lot of attention focused on raising awareness of childhood cancer and finding a cure. During September I thought so much about all the children lost to cancer during the years I have been working with children receiving radiation. There was hardly any mention on TV, in the newspaper, etc. about September being the month for Childhood Cancer. There has got to be a cure found so more children like Cassidy won't die from this terrible monster called cancer.
Remembering Cassidy today,
Hugs, Nena

Wow how busy you have been!!!! I know it helps. Suzie, even though our lunch was short and sweet recently it was great to see and talk to you (as always). I hope we can get together again soon. Looks like I should have taken you up on the invite to the beach. Maybe I can go on that relaxing trip. Cade's B'day party seemed like a GREAT HIT!!! You are right, kids never seem to be bothered by how cold the water REALLY is. Hang in there. You guys will always be in my constant thoughts and prayers.

Suzie and Sean,
I know losing a child is in a different realm, but after losing my dad in June, I have a completely different perspective on life. You will be going about your day and wham!, it hits you that this person you love so dearly is gone and it can put you in a daze or make you go into an uncontrolable crying fit! The new "normal" is difficult to find, especially on holidays or visits with family. I now have a much deeper and purposeful prayer life for you and other families going through similar situations. Wrapping my arms around your family.

I am going to the hospital tomorrow to stay with Pierson for awhile so Kristy can get out for a couple of hours.
I think about you all and little Cassidy so much.
Know you are so pleased to finally have her marker in place.

Hi Suzie & Sean! I am sorry for not posting here in so long. That was us in June (the white van on Hwy 59 in Summerdale/Robertsdale/Foley) I don't know exactly where we were, but we saw your tag and I told Jason to pull up next to yall. I was in the back seat with my broken leg propped up. I bet yall thought we were stalkers or something! haha
I hope your buddy has a better school year this year. I am sure it is difficult for you these days. I have mixed feelings about sending Colette to school - happy that she is healthy and able to go, but scared because we will never be guaranteed anything! I think you know what I mean.
Take care!
Love,

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed spending time with Cade at VBS...I have missed seeing him this week as well as the other kids. Everyone seemed to have so much fun!! I am sorry that you were hurting on the inside at VBS...I cannot even imagine how that must be for you but you were on my mind so much that week b/c I knew Cass loved VBS so much although I too felt like she was there with us. I said almost every day how much Cade reminded me of Cassidy and it was good to see him having so much fun! I love you and think about you all the time. Have a wonderful week.

Hi Sean, Suzie and Cade,
I just wanted to say "Hello" and let you know that you guys are still in my thoughts and prayers so often. I miss seeing you in Tuscaloosa at the shop and I check Cassidy's site often to see how you all are doing so please keep updating as you think of it.
Take care of yourselves and always remember that you have a friend in Trussville. BTW - I met someone here with Gordo connections... Ben and Stephanie Fair - they go to church with us and said that they know Sean, I think Ben may have even said that he and Sean are distant cousins?!? Suzie - please give your sweet mother a hug from me too.

I was out of town on Cassidy's birthday but I told my husband as we rode in the car toward home "Today would have been Cassidy's birthday." I didn't forget. Just read your sweet entry. It was so beautiful! I'm so glad you had her for six wonderful years...she was a blessing to us all and to anyone who knew of her. I'm so glad she was a part of my life for a little while. She had more life in her than most have for many more years than she had and the love she gave and received is multipled in countless and even unknown ways. One day we will understand it all clearly and will count the suffering of this short life as not even worthy to be compared to the glory and wonders of eternity.

Suzie, we have been watching our home videos to label them and have them transferred to DVD. Last night (6/14/07) Hamner picked one at random for us to watch. It was Cassidy's 6th birthday party at the park in Birmingham. Hamner said "Thank you Lord for letting me pick this tape". We enjoyed watching it. The boys love and miss Cassidy so much!!
If you don't have it on tape, I will try to get it copied for you. Hope you guys enjoy the beach. Be Careful!

TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
MY Sweet ~j~Cassidy~j~
Its your special day,
And we miss you more
than we can say.
You are a part of us
and will always be,
In our hearts for an eternity.
We think of you often
and want you to know,
You were our sweet little girl
and we miss you so.
I know your at rest in
Gods heaven above,
And your Angelic face
fills heaven with Love.
You touched Mommy and Daddy
when we first saw your eyes,
And we often wipe away
the tears that we cry.
We wonder who
you would have become,
If you were not taken
away from us.
So our Sweet Little ~j~Cassidy~j~
What we wish for you,
Is happiness while
waiting for us to join you.
Happy Birthday Sweetie...
We love You...
I had to come back and leave you this poem for your Sweet ~j~Cassidy~j~. I meant to get by yesterday, but just been working and it slipped by on me. Hope you like the poem. Have a great time at the Beach and in remembering your Sweet ~j~Cassidy~j~.

My first thought about your birthday was two years ago when you turned 6 - you had a party at a park in Birmingham. You had just gotten out of the hospital and had to go back the next day. You wanted a horse birthday party and your mom got you all kinds of horse stuff with the cowboy hats and cowboy boots for the ice cream. You sure did have a good time!
I think of you everyday and miss you very much!
I Love You! Aunt Bev

You filled my days with rainbow lights,
Fairytales and sweet dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Gingerbread to ease my fears.
You gave the gift of life to me
And then in love, you set me free.
I thank you for your tender care,
For deep warm hugs and being there.
I hope that when you think of me
A part of you
You'll always see.

Sorry I haven't gotten by in awhile, but I do think of Cassidy all the time. Sometimes it's hard to get to the older Caringbridge sites on my computer. I found this and wanted to share it with you........
Mother ... Do you remember?
It wasn't so long ago when the doctor told you I was growing inside of you. Do you remember the joy? The wonder you felt? I do. I was so excited to be making my journey into your world. I chose you, you know. Of all of the parents in the world, I chose you. It was quite miraculous really, for both of us.
Do you remember the first time I moved inside your womb? Do you remember my first kick? My first hiccup? I remember, too. You were so happy and full of joy. You sang to me and I heard. You talked to me and I listened. When you moved, I rocked gently inside of you and it was so comfortable. You carried around my picture and showed it to all of your friends, even though it didn't look much
like a child, but more like a tadpole. Still, you shared your joy with those around you.
Do you remember the day I was born? Yes, how could you forget? Birth really is a miracle, you know. He allows us to enter this world through our earthly parents, and brings us from the darkness of the womb into the light of our parents love.
He told me it would be difficult. He said life on earth is hard and filled with both joy and tears. He was right. Of course, He always is. For He created this great world and all that is in it.
Do you remember how you felt when I was born? Did you grieve? Did you mourn? No, you were filled with abundant joy! You didn't grieve for an empty womb. You didn't mourn at the loss of the tiny child inside of you. Instead, you rejoiced that the child you carried in your womb, you would now carry in your arms.
Do you remember how many times you held my hand? I certainly do. Your hands were so safe and strong when I was insecure and afraid. I will always remember the comfort there - in your hands.
You held my hand when I was sick. There was so much love in your hands, but I could see the pain in your face.
I am an Angel now.
You cry , 'Why now?'
Life, no matter how long, always seems to be too short. I must ask, when would be a better time for you to say goodbye to me? Next year? In twenty more years? No, there is never a good time to lose someone you love. But time is only in your world, not in His.
You must remember this, for this is the Truth. Do not grieve now for your empty arms, as you did not grieve for your empty womb. I am not dead. I was born into your world, and you held my hand. Now I've been born into my Father's world, where He holds my hand.
I am always with you. I see you when you cry and wish I could hold your hand and provide you with the same comfort you've given me. I wish I could wipe away your tears. Remember that grief is a natural part of this earthly world, but you must not let it control you. There are many joys ahead. He has told me so. Then, the day will come when you will be reborn also, and He will welcome you with His open, loving arms.
Until then, He will hold your hand and walk you through each of the difficult days ahead. Lean on Him when you are afraid or when your grief threatens to overpower you. Let Him guide your footsteps as you so many times guided mine.
Be comforted in the knowledge that my love didn't die when I left you. It lives throughout all eternity.
It is long but beautiful and thought you might like it.....

Sky Bunnies
The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For stars to find at night.
Because it's Easter Eve, you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In the meadows in the sky.
______________________________________________________
I know it will be a difficult Easter without your ^Angel Cassidy^ and we are thinking of you. I know ^Cassidy^ will be hunting eggs and having fun with all her ^Angel^ friends in heaven with the Easter Bunny in the sky.
Happy Easter to all her Family!!!!

Hello! I just wanted you guys to know that I am praying extra hard for you this weekend, and I feel led to actually start our prayer chain at church for you. May God give you peace, comfort, and beautiful memories this Easter weekend. I'm sure Cassidy will be having the biggest egg hunt ever!

One More Day
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you
One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you
Leave me wishing still, for one more day
Leave me wishing still, for one more day

I have no idea where the time has gone - it seems like yesterday that our two families met at the hospital. You guys have been there for Billy and Emily and for that...I am truly thankful! Take care of each other and hope to see you again soon.

Thinking about you today and everday. Your family never leaves my mind and heart. The other day I heard Scarlett telling one of her friends that she saw Cassidy the night before. She said, you know, she is my guardian angel. When I get scared, she lets me know I am okay. We love you all.

I will forever pray for you guys and for a cure for this horrible, horrible monster of childhood cancer.

Although the Bible says there is no more time, just timelessness, in HEAVEN, Happy Birthday Cassidy on your first year in Heaven. No more tears, no more pain, never dying again...we can only imagine the glory and joy of that place...But for us there are bittersweet memories and that nagging sense of loss and emptiness, especially for your parents and family.
I have prayed for you, Suzie and Sean, so much this week. May your love, faith and hope get you through these rough days. Cindy Fulmer

Hello Tierce Family, I just thought I would write a note to let you know that I continue to keep your family in my prayers. Even though I did not get to personally meet Cassidy, she has greatly impacted my life. Last year I got my Curing Childhood Cancer License Tag and it reads: 4SCCT, for Scarlett and Cassidy. Your strength and faith is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter's story with everyone. God Bless.

Hi Sean, Suzi, and Cade,
I was just stopping by to tell you that your precious angel will not be forgotten by all the Hand-in-Paw teams who loved her. Know these next few days are going to be tough with tomorrow being the day Cassisdy earned her "angel wings". Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hugs and blessings,

I can't believe this week is here. So many "I remembers" of this time last year. Those memories are so clear and devastating. I always remember reading the card that the chaplan at Children's sent that said he wanted you to know that Cassidy's last prayer request was for Weasel to know how much she loved her. He remarked that it didn't matter what she was going through - her wishes and prayers were for others. That is a typical mommy.
I miss her so much. I pray for God to wrap His arms tightly around you today and hold you close over the next several weeks tighter than usual.
Love you,
Miss Priss, I love you and miss you big as the moon! I will always remember watching Stewart Little II with you.
Love you, Aunt Bev

I pray for you often and think of you so much. None of us will ever forget dear Cassidy. I know the anniversary is coming up in a few days. We dedicated our St. Jude Children's Hospital Mathathon in Cassidy's honor and we had the biggest contributions ever as well as the most participation. We had 197 students who participated (only had 45 last time) and we raised over $3,733.00 to help other kids fighting childhood cancer. Love to you all, Cindy Fulmer

Hello! I just wanted you guys to know that I am praying especially hard for you this week. I can only imagine how hard this month has been for you guys. Hold strong to God and he will walk with you through this sad time. I am able to tell Cassidy's story quite often. People ask "What does your tag mean?" And I always tell them it is "4CAS" and her story. I hope it will encourage people to purchase a tag to help continued research.
God bless you today and give you strength.

My Four Leaf Clover
I once had a four leaf clover,
So beautiful, tiny and rare,
I looked at it with wonder and delight,
It gave me all the joy I could bear.
So delicate and fragile it was,
So special and full of life,
I truly loved my four leaf clover,
To lose it would cut like a knife.
It meant more to me than life itself,
The days of joy it gave,
I would hold it close to my heart,
And then happiness filled my days.
But like most four leaf clovers,
It was picked way too soon,
I was heartbroken and lost,
My days were filled with gloom.
You see this special four leaf clover,
I had looked into it's tiny face,
It was my beautiful little Cassidy,
And she can never be replaced.
________________________________
Happy St.Patrick's Day!!! Being Kelly and the family will be here tonight I might not get by tomorrow so wanted to go ahead and send you this poem and wish you a good day and weekend. I will be thinking of you both and your "Cassidy".....

The time I spent w/ you on Saturday was wonderful. The memorial svc was really beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. I know God was right there w/ you, holding you up through it. I don't know how else you make it through something like that and in your everyday life. You guys are such an inspiration to me and have shown me countless times that you have got to hug your kids tighter and love them like nothing else. I look forward to seeing you ALL again very soon. I will forever pray, pray and pray some more for you guys. Lean on each other. We love you.

Occasionally, we are graced with the presence of an Earth Angel. They are unable to stay with us for long, but while they do, they bring unprecedented joy and happiness to all they touch. While they are here, we bask at their goodness and marvel at their contribution to the world. When they leave, we are left with the devastation that comes with losing such a wonderful being...but we must... remember...the earth bound ^Angels^ are not ours to keep. They are ours to enjoy, learn from, and behold until they return home.
^Cassidy^ was one of these Earth ^Angels^...............
Happy Sunday to all of you and hoping you got to get with the Gazzaways......

Susy,
You and your family are still in the grieving peiord and it lasts a long time for most people. When someone tells you there will come a day when you will get over it, just know that they mean there will come a day when you can smile again, cherish your sweet memories of Cassidy, and go on with your day to day activities, but there will never come a day when you will forget Cassidy (which is a good thing), but there will come a time when you can bare up under it. She will always be a part of your thinking and remembering, but I can promise you this, the days ahead will get better. One day you will realize, yee, I am not as sad today as I was yesterday and then you may have a depressed feeling the next day & take a step backward, but as the days move forward, you will start having more days of, "yee, I feel better today than I did yesterday." and these days will come more often as you move forward and begin to see that you are having more good days than bad. (This comes sooner for some than others), but as you get up each morning, just tell God, "I want to walk with you today Father." (and walk with you he will). Just know a better day is up ahead. My whole desire in writing to you today is to let you know that I can promise you (on the word of God), you will not always be in this valley that you are walking through at this time. Sunny days are in your future. I love you and my whole family loves you. If you ever want to just talk, call me collect at home (usually at night is better...I work during the day) at 225-756-8513 and I will listen to you for as long as you need to talk.
Your friend in Christ,

"Never Be Forgotten"
I’ll always see your face,
The corner of your smile,
And all the little things that no one will ever know.
Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away,
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say.
You will never be forgotten.
A million days could pass us by,
But what is time but just a dream?
Oh, I still feel you here with me.
You’re more than just a memory.
Oh, you will never be forgotten.
I can‘t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes,
And when I talk to you,
It just echoes in my mind;
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars,
I would look up tonight and know just where you are.
You will never be forgotten.
A million days could pass us by,
But what is time but just a dream?
Oh I still feel you here with me.
You’re more than just a memory.
Oh, you will never be forgotten.
And the world just keeps on going;
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone.
You will never be forgotten.
A million days could pass us by,
But what is time but just a dream?
Oh, I still feel you here with me.
You’re more than just a memory.
Oh, you will never be forgotten
This is song Lyrics and I thought its such a beautiful song and of course I wanted to send it to you as your Sweet ^i^Cassidy^i^ will never be Forgotten. ^i^Jacob's^i^ mum has it playing on his site if you would like to listen to it. His site: www.caringbridge.org/me/jacob The song is by Jessica Andrews and not sure if you have ever heard it. I think you will like it even though it can bring the tears flowing so have some tissue handy. Its a beautiful song and our Little Angels will never be forgotten and thought you would like it so sending to you.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend. I know you are looking forward to seeing the Gazzaway's again and hope you bring a little comfort to each other. I know the memorial will be just lovely as well and that the weather is great for you guys. Its suppose to be warm and Sunny here and hope you guys have great weather also.
Praying for you guys and Christie as well. I hope everything works out for Christie and she gets a donor soon. I know that means a loss for some family, but they will also be giving the gift of life as well and that's a very special gift.

This money that the kids raise goes to help other children who are fighting childhood cancers. We had already been doing this every other year but I am encouraging the school to try to really top our previous giving as we honor the memory of our dear friend and schoolmate, Cassidy. I will send you a copy of the letter we sent home saying this. With fond affection, Cindy Fulmer

I hope that you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!! As hard as it may have been for you here on earth, I now that Cass was smiling down and shouting I love you! I love you! from Heaven above. Can't you just imagine the Valentine's party they had there...We were leaving Mr. G's last night and Tate told Ms. Charlotte to look up because Cassidy was shining down. The moon was extra bright so I guess he thought it was Cassidy. Skylar told her "Yep! Mimi, she is looking at you." Ms. Charlotte got tickled and said they still have not forgotten and I said they never will. She is engraved in our hearts and that is where she will forever stay. We love you so much and continue to pray for you every day! I know the days ahead will get extra hard but just know that we will be praying extra hard and God will be hugging you extra, extra tight!!! See you soon!! Happy Valentine's Day, Cade!!

Our Baby Girl Valentine
We will always remember your Funny, little pouty face
The sweet shape of your mouth
Perfect in every single way
From head on down to your toes
You captured our hearts on sight
We didn't stand a chance
Seeing your perfection we were
Smitten at first glance
Angels brought you to us and
You brightened all our days
You brought us so much joy
Then the Angels took you away and we'll miss you Forever more, So Valentine, your eyes so bright
You gave us all such sheer delight
With Butterfly kisses and a gentle touch
We love you, oh, so very much!!!
Happy Valentine's Day Angel Cassidy!!!
Thinking of you today and hoping that all of you have a good day. Hope you like the poem. Just imagine how beautiful ^i^Cassidy^i^ is in her beautiful Pink Angel Wings. I know her and ^i^Kadin^i^ are having a good time together this Valentine's Day.

Oh how I remember the days too. I remember getting her Maddie, the little pink and white puppy, for Valentine's last year from Weasel. And we were talking later and the little tag on Maddie had another little dog on it that was red and white. She wanted it too. I went by to get it the next time I went to visit and they didn't have anymore. I panicked - I told the lady that owned the flower shop that I had to HAVE it and could she order one. She checked and called me at the hospital to let me know they were able to order it. When it came in, a few weeks later, it was brown and white. Cassidy never knew what color it was, because she had been moved downstairs when it came it. But she wanted it and she got it.
I hope ya'll have a good day. I will see ya'll soon!
Love Aunt Bev.

That is exactly what Cassidy wants you both to do. She knows everything now and I am sure that her one desire is for her family to know God, trust Him and live each day in a way that is pleasing to Him. Then she will rejoice when she sees you again for the way that you carried on after her and proved that all the suffering, circumstances and prayers offered for Cassidy and your family was indeed worth the victory here on earth and the glory waiting in eternity. Hang in there and know that so many care and are supporting you. If I can do anything, please let me know. Love, Cindy Fulmer

I just wanted to tell you that our family thinks of you often and I wanted you to know what an indelible mark Cassidy left on so many people. God used that little girl in a mighty way!

Hello Tierce family,
I understand that holidays are very difficult. I hope that Cade continues to brighten up those times, just as Cassidy would want him to do. Monarch and I are thinking of your family, and we have similar wishes for this new year. We would love a cure to be found this month even (but we would be happy with this year as well), and we want families who have lost their loved ones to cancer to have as much happiness as can be expected. Your family is strong and courageous and we are behind you every step of the way.

Suzie it was great talking to you the other day. I hope you made it through the day on Christmas and are having better days. Did you have any ornaments left on your tree or did Cade's blower do them in? I bet he is loving it! Scarlett got a little Corelle baby that is only about six inches long. It has the most beautiful little face. Tonight when we were going to bed she kissed it and we talked about how sweet her face is. She said, "she reminds me of something -- or someone ... a human ...... oh, it's Cassidy! She looks like pretty Cassidy!" I think she loves it even more now. We love you guys and think about you daily.

We are about to start a new Year and I hope it will be a brighter one for us all. Just imagine all the beautiful sights that ^i^Angel Cassidy^i^ gets to see from Heaven. This year has been a bad year as we lost so many little ones who became ^i^Angels^i^. These ^i^Angels^i^ touched all our hearts and changed our lives. With seeing so many earn their wings and having a sick child it changes you and we realize that life can be cut short and so we must live life to it's fullest each and everyday as each day is a gift, so we must cherish it. As we start a New Year and I know you are having some of your darkest times without your sweet ^i^Cassidy^i^, but remember she comes to you as she is sent from above and is there to comfort you and see you through the darkest of days forever and ever. She is there in a Gentle Breeze, the Warm Sunshine, to the Clouds and the Beautiful Rainbows after the Rain, and in a Gentle Touch and Loving Embrace from the others that you and she Loved, and in the Twinkling Stars in the dark of the Night, to the Beauty of the Flowers and the Butterflies and so many other Sweet things. She will be there to guide you with a ray of Hope and Love.
Wishing all a Happy New Year!
I hope it's a better year and we find a cure for this beast cancer....

Hi ya'll
We were just thinking of you and wanting you to know it!! HAHA. Actually we have been thinking of ya'll a lot over the past few weeks. We hope that Christmas was Merry as could be expected. We cross a new milestone tomorrow...a new year in which our babies are not with us. For some reason, this seems to really bother me. For Billy, it is just another day without his buddy. Painfully worse than the day before. Who said this would get easier?
We miss ya'll. I guess you may have heard about the big surprise here. The whole family showed up...It was nice that we weren't alone. Not that we would have been. We feel him with us always, and know that he is close by, watching and protecting us everyday. But the bad news is that we didn't go to Alabama as expected this weekend. It would have been nice to see you 3.
Our hope is for an amazing 2007. Filled with laughter, love, joy, health, hope...and always the precious memories of Sassy Cassy. Did I mention our hope for many many trips to Panama City Beach? HA! It would be great to see ya'll. Hopefully it will be before the summer.
Take care of eachother. Know that we love and miss you all. Happy New Year...

Christmas is approaching along with all the sites and sounds and it's hard to be happy when we lost so many little ones this year. It's been a bad year with so many earning their ^i^Angel Wings^i^. The loss so many have sustained is incomprehensible and alot of tears have flowed and the Spirit of Christmas has been knocked out of so many.
Combined with so many problems everyone is left wondering how to get through Christmas with joy in their hearts. We ask do we have room for Joy when our hearts are filled with sorrow? The tears flow when we think of these families having to struggle to live without thier babies.
We wish we could take away their pain and help them get through this Season. This weighs heavily on many of us and keeps us from feeling joy during the Season that's suppose to be joyous.
We think what right to we have to be happy, but in the end it's okay and even necessary to experience the Joy and Hope of Christmas.
Take away the gifts and decorations and look at what Christmas "really" is. We will find comfort, solace, peace and joy. For Christmas is Christ and Christ is eternal love, hope, life, joy and peace. This is what we need now more then ever.
Our pain won't be gone or our loved ones brought back, but by focusing on Christ this Season our burdens become lighter as we see a message of hope and comfort.
These little ones we lost are no longer with us physically, but they are happy and we miss them dearly, but they are living a wonderful fulfeeling life in a beautiful magical place.
Christ gives us the gift of Hope, Comfort, help, and healing. He is there for us and we are not alone.
It is my Hope that with all your pain you find joy and hope to see you through Christmas and celebrate it. Christmas is not about gifts it's about God's promise to us. Even if it's amidst tears, I hope you find Comfort, Peace and Joy this Christmas.....
Something else I wanted to leave for you guys...

Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear, A rather strange idea, I see everything from here, I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card, A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard, There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine, except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven, they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside, I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried, I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know, that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so, they talk with me, and dream with me, we still share laughter too, memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do? My parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight, they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells, they write to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well, so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth, I must find a way, to remind them of there wondrous worth, they need to be honored, and be remembered too, just as the children of the earth will do, thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best, find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me, until I can do it for myself, when they joins me in eternity.
Your ^i^Angel^i^
Thought this touching so wanted to leave it for your family.
I know the holidays are so very hard for you and remember ^i^Kassidy^i^ is with you always in your hearts and she left you all special gifts that you have in your hearts.

I cannot even imagine what your heart must be feeling right now but if you ever need a friend to talk to, please don't hesitate to call or maybe we can eat lunch one day. I hope that I see you Sunday! I also know how it is with having a little boy who wants something to big for him...Tate wants a red motorcycle to ride but we have had to tell him too that he is still too small, maybe when he gets 16 or 25 or older...Those things scare me to death but I know that someday I guess he will have to have them. Anyway, I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas!!! We love you and forever keep you in our prayers. Candace

Hello Angel ^i^Cassidy^i^ and family, I can't give all you ^i^Angels^i^ a gift along with your families so I've wrote a poem for a gift to all of you from me and our family. It's not the best, but hope all enjoy and find Peace in the Season.
Twas the Night before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse, The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, But to many children's stockings will be missing this year,
These children are heaven's ^i^Angels^i^ all snug up in their beds, Their parents can only dream of them dancing in their heads, These children all fought hard battles and stood strong, So why oh why did they have to leave our homes,
Whether it be from Cancer, Bad Hearts, Bad Livers or Damaged Lungs, getting stuck with Needles, having Surgeries, and Chemo, Then there's the Central Lines and Transplants to Checking their Counts, And it changes and shatters so many of our lives, We new in a moment they might fall a sleep and to start a New Journey being Pain free,
God spoke not a word and went straight to work, As he new he would be there to fill our Angels Hearts with Peace, Comfort and Love, And up from above the Angels did rise soaring through Heaven on a Magical Ride,
These little ^i^Angels^i^ soaring so high are the stars in the night lighting up our skies, Each with a name and they shine so bright, First there's Navada, Max, Kadin, and Gage, along with Shelby then there's, Skyler, Cassidy, and Jake, then comes Lexie with Laken and oh just to many to name... So lets Please oh Please find some cures so our Little ^i^Angels^i^ want have to soar up up and away to leave us to morn,
Before our ^i^Angels^i^ soared out of sight, I heard them all exclaim "Happy Christmas To All, And To All A Good-Night, And Lets Not Forget To Keep Fighting This Fight In Finding The Cures We So Desperately Need!"

Some beautiful Quotes....
"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why they call it the Present."
"The best of all gifts around my Christmas tree, is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other."
"The art of living Christmas is lighting a fire inside our hearts and Good Will and Joy are a vital part."
"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as as result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recongnizing and appreciating what we do have."
"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love, In return you will receive untold Peace and Happiness."
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart."
"To this world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."
Just some quotes and thought's for eveyone at this time of the year and as it says yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift and that is why they call it the present so live each day to it's fullest as it's a gift.
Sending your family well wishes. My heart aches for you during this difficult Season without your Sweet ^i^Cassidy^i^. I hope your family and the Gazzaway's have a good weekend getting to see each other.

Remember as an ^i^Angel^i^ Cassidy gives you all her Love and hopes it will Comfort you Forever more.
Remember her sweet thoughts as she remembers yours. She wants all your days to be filled with Love, as well as your Hearts to be filled with Joy.
^i^Cassidy^i^ touched and has left her mark for us all and that is her embrace on life filled with lots of Love. Whatever your Worries, Troubles or Strifes ^i^Cassidy^i^ is the ^i^Angel^i^ within your heart and she will surely surround you with Peace, Comfort and Love.
So remember ^i^Angel Cassidy^i^ is with you everyday of your life.
Forever and always......
I wrote a poem for you along with some others who's ^i^Angels^i^ are in Heaven now, but remember they are with you in your memories and hearts forever and always......
Love, Lenzie's Nana Sue

Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
The Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
And his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
And increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
And young men stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the Lord
Will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
They will run and not grow weary,
They will walk and not be faint.”
Isaiah 40:28-31

I recieved my first Christmas card in the mail today and it was a card with ^i^Angels^i^ with golden wings. It is a special card to me, because of course it makes me think of the special ^i^Angels^i^ I came to know such as ^i^Cassidy^i^, ^i^Kadin^i^ and many others. I know they are always watching over us and they put a warm feeling in my heart. I know they are in a Magical Place filled with Love and Beauty.
Thinking of you and your family. How Sweet of Aunt Bev to put up the tree for you. That's what family are for to be there when we need them and to give all the love they can.

Hey Suzie, Just wanted to let you know that I love you so much and wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. You seemed so sad the other day and I never know what to say to you without starting to cry myself. I hope that you continue to find strength in God each day and of course Cade who reminds me more and more of Cass each time I see him. I hope to see you and Cade on Saturday! I'm sure will even let some ballons go for Cassidy that day to let her be a part of the birthday in Heaven. Have a good week! I love you! Candace

Hello Sweet ~^~Cassidy~^~...
I know that you will be watching over Mommy during this difficult time she is having. Maybe you can wrap your arms just a little tighter around her and she will know you are forever with her. I am so glad that I got a little 'message' earlier last week that I needed to go and offer to help put Mommy's Christmas tree up on Thanksgiving afternoon (she had a lovely flower arrangement with a candle in the center made and the candle burned all day to let her know you were right that with her). I knew she was not looking forward to that day and the days to follow. She was a little hesitate at first about putting the tree up and I told her no day was going to be a good day. And the next thing I knew we were getting the Christmas tree out. Cade helped us carry it to the house in his wagon. Mommy got out each and everyone of the ornaments herself and I know that had to be tough, because they were all senitimental, some homemade and little ornaments from when you and Cade were first born up to last year. But...she made it and I even saw some smiles. I think I am going to have to go over and "make" her put Cade's little tree in his room and your lttle tree in your room. She was going to do that the next day, but I don't she has done it yet. But that's okay, because I like doing that stuff anyways. I love your Christmas tree at your resting place in the cemetary. Mommy did a great job fixing it for you. It's has little dog ornaments and other stuff on it. It even has lights that come on at night.
I know that Heaven will have a better Christmas this year, because you are there. I just hope you don't have to get up too early---you sure did get upset when you were younger because your dad would get you up at daylight to see what Santa brought.
I could also use some extra tight hugs right now, because I sure do miss you -- but I know heaven is a much better place that you are there.
Miss you and think of you all the time,
Aunt Bev

Going through grief isn't letting anyone down. You are a wonderful family and there are so many people who know that. Being sad, upset, angry or mad are not signs of weakness, but signs of love. The love that you have for your daughter. They are all part of mourning- and no expects you not to mourn. Praying for peace and comfort during this holiday season.

How could you think that you are letting anyone down? Your family has been through a trial and tragedy that all of us hope never comes to us. It is only natural to feel this way. The days are hard but I know that one day things will start to get a little easier and your pain will be a little lighter. You minister to all of us by your spirit and courage. Cassidy was and is a light for others and she got that eternal light from her heavenly Father. By the way, did you like the song? With love, Cindy Fulmer

Hi Tierce family,
Hope all is well with you three. No you are not letting anyone down by saying that it was hard to get throught the holiday's. I lost my brother this past july and this was my parents first holiday without him. My mom and dad had a really hard time, but alittle positive words i gave them was just remenber every day is a thanksgiving to him. My mom told him right before we ate lunch that she would make sure she ate enought turkey and dressing for the both of them sinch that was his favorite. well i found this on another caring bridge site and thought you would enjoy.
"You know you're the parent of a kid with cancer when....
Kids with hair look strange to you! ;-)
You can sleep anywhere and anything that reclines more than 15 degrees looks 'comfy' ;-)
You don't realize the sharps container is on the kitchen table until half way through dinner ;-}
You enjoy the trip to the hospital at 3am because there aren't any cars on the highway ;-)
You hear a truck backing up and think it's the IV alarm beeping ;-)
Med students ask to borrow your notes ;-)
You wrap presents and packages with surgical tape ;-)
Waiting for an hour doesn't seem a long time anymore compared to the wait at the doctor’s appointments-
You have syringes in your cutlery rack in the dishwasher
Every little thing can make you cry but this list has you rolling on the floor ; -)

Dear Susie and Sean,
We have thought about you guys and Cade almost on a daily basis. When we put up the Christmas tree last weekend, Sara-Gale proudly placed the ornament balls that she and Cassidy made together in stem-cell clinic last year. And of course, that prompted yet another one of Sara-Gale's "Moma, do you remember when ..." stories of her and Cassidy's time together in clinic. Through five years of treatment at Children's Hospital, no other child has affected Sara-Gale the way that Cassidy has. She speaks of her often and shows her new friends at school who visit, the pictures of them together at Halloween. Yes, Sara-Gale started third grade at Crumly Chapel School this year! She has been released from stem-cell and will have her first visit with Dr. Watts in clinic on December 14. We are truly blessed with her recovery. She stayed for a week recently on 4 tower with the chicken pox, but basicly has been doing great. Sara-Gale has painted a picture of a puppy for Cassidy, and wants to visit her soon to leave it with her. Please know that I can only imagine what the holidays will be like for you guys without that precious angel. But also know that our prayers are with you daily for strength. Way-to-go! for Cade for starting school! We love you guys very much and wish only cherished memories to ease your pain.
Love, Kim and Sara-Gale

I just couldn't imagine what you are going through and how you are getting by as each day passes. I'm sure Cade has been keeping you guys very busy and has a long list of things he wants for Christmas. I want to thank you again for your hospitality, friendship and love to my family (Billy & Emily). Take care and please tell the rest of the family that I send my love and "hello's"!

Hello There Tierce's, It's been along time since I visited as I just could not remember the site, but I finally had time to go back through Kadin's Gb and find you. I'm sorry it's been way to long. I have saved ^i^Cassidy's^i^ site to my favorites so I will not forget it.
I know the holidays are very difficult and hoping that spending time with Family helps some and as you said spend it with family while you can.
At Thanksgiving Dinner you be sure a set a place for ^i^Cassidy^i^ and put her picture there and she will be at dinner with her family. I'm sure she would like this and will be smiling down on her family. ^i^Cassidy^i^ you and ^i^Kadin^i^ and all the other little ^i^Angels^i^ soar high and make the day lovely for all to enjoy as I know all you Angels will.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Hello all.....just know that we all will be missing Miss Priss during these holidays as well as everyday. I am so thankful to be a part of your lifes and more thankful to have been a part of Cassidy's. She was (is) truly a blessing from heaven that will never be forgotten. I think of her everyday. The other day Seazon was so sick and not eating and I was in her room at 6:15 in the morning trying to get her to eat something and told her that she had to eat or she would have to get a feeding tube and I know she didn't want that. Then out of nowhere, some kind of bird starting making the weirdest noise right outside her bedroom window real loud. She looked at me and I looked at her---I said "I think someone is sending you a message about eating". Seazon just smiled. There isn't even a tree outside of her window for the bird to have been on. So I know that Cassidy is all around us all of the time and she speaks loud and clear when needed.
Please know that I am here and will pray that your Thanksgiving Day will be better than you expect. Cassidy will probably work through Cade to make it joyful.
And I,like you, miss Cassidy more each day! I think of all the things I wish I HAD done.
Love you, Aunt Bev

Hi everyone! Just wanted to stop by and tell you guys how much I have been thinking about you. My car tag finally arrived and everytime someone asked me about it, I am able to share a little bit of Cassidy's story. Hopefully it will inspire them to purchase the tag and the money raised will be that much closer to helping find a cure. Please remember by sister in law's friend's child, Pierson Estes. He is only 4 yrs old and 3 days ago he was sent to Children's with a "brain tumor". He had surgery the day after arriving and they removed a "raquetball" size tumor from his frontal lobe. They are not sure if they were able to get it all, and said that they will not know until Friday if the tumor was cancer. He like Cassidy, had vomiting and said he had a "headache". Please everyone pray for this family.
Suzie, I think about you everyday and pray for peace and comfort that only the Lord can send. Cassidy will always remain a source of inspiration to me and keep me fully grounded that life and health is a precious gift that I should not take for granted.

I said a prayer for you just now. The Bible says that we see on this side of eternity as "in a dark mirror" but one day "face to face" and "we will know as HE knows." One day you will know why. I also read that if we piled up all of life's sorrows and sufferings, they would not even be worthy of comparison to the glory to come. How can that be? I don't understand it, but we have to cling to that hope until then. That doesn't minimize the sorrow you all continue to feel, but I find those promises to be of some comfort. Sincerely, Cindy Fulmer

Hey Suzie, I hope that today is going to be a great day for you, Cade, and Sean. I can only imagine how your heart longs for Cassidy and how much that you miss her. I know that she is watching over you every second and how she must miss you too! Please know that we love you and keep you in our prayers always. The kids will never forget Cass because still to this day, every time they get a balloon they cannot wait to send it to Cassidy...they do not want to even play with them, they just want to give them to Cassidy. Also, it was raining the other day and Tate said "Momma, I guess that Cassidy and Jesus sent the rain because they wanted the flowers to grow." She was an amazing person just like you and she will never be forgotten. We love you and I hope that somehow, your days will get brighter! Love, Candace, Skylar, and Tate

Suzie, What an AWESOME entry!!! I love the poem you found!!! I think it is EXACTLY Cassy!!! As it says, these kids bring SO MANY strangers together and have STRENGTHENED many people's prayer lives!!! They have increased the number of times we HIT OUR KNEES in a day, week, month, etc!!! I have found myself MANY times here at work when a child really needed prayer (such as surgery, a turn for the worse, just not knowing what was going to happen, etc.) and I would get up from the computer, close my office door and hit my knees!!!! I know all of these kids have a SPECIAL place in my heart and just like I wrote on Lenzie's site, these kids and their families begin to feel like your own family after following their lives EVERY day! I pray that you feel Casssidy's presence with you ALL the time and I pray that God will continue to carry you as you try to adjust to your new "normal" without your precious girl! Oh, what a day it will be in heaven when you are reunited and will NEVER have to worry about being separated from her again!!!! You will all be together again as a family for ETERNITY!!! What an AWESOME thought!

It was so good to see you yesterday. I just can't imagine how hard it is for you all to come to events like the one yesterday. You are so brave and your presence helps others understand how cancer robs a family of their most precious treasure. Thank you for continuing to support finding a cure for this terrible beast...cancer.
Cade has grown so much that if he had not been beside you, I don't think I would have recognized him.
You truly inspire others with your courage.

Emily and I are doing ok...just like you we are trying to stay busy and our mind focused. I wish we lived closer to each other. If you ever need us, we are only a phone call or 6 hour drive away. Oh yeah, I need your phone numbers again...got a new phone. Thanks and give Cade a big hug from us. I hope you guys find a tractor costume for him. We'll be looking down here in Florida for one. We love you guys.

Happy Belated B'day to both you and Cade. I have several dear friends that sew so if you would like for me to call them about Cade's tractor costume let me know. I will forever pray for your entire family's strength and a cure. Hope to see you soon. God bless all of you.

Thinking about Cassidy this morning. I still check this website every morning. Habits die hard. I know that these next few months of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to be hard on you both. And though I don't have any words to say or deeds to do to make things easier, I just wanted you to know that I am, and will be thinking about Cassidy too. It still seems unreal that she's not here. I love you!

Hey there! I know it's been a long time since we signed but there is not a day that goes by that we don't think about you guys. Kori was on the computer the other day talking to some friends and I looked in on her and she has Cassidy's picture as her back round. It's funny how they never got the chance to meet but she feels so close to her. We miss you guys a bunch and we hope that you'll come and visit sometime. Hope you and Cade had a Great B-day. Tell everyone we said hi and we love you all so much!

Your family has impacted my life in so many ways. Thank you for sharing prayer requests of others...I always join with so many to lift them up. We all need prayers, each other and especially the mercy and grace of our Heavenly Father in His Son, Jesus. My Dad died a few days ago and someone told me at school "Now he's with Cassidy." I replied, "Yes, I used to tell him about her and now he can meet her." With affection, Cindy Fulmer

Hey Tierce's,
I know it's been a while since we written in Cassidy's journal, but we think of you guys often. Please lift up a prayer for Molly. She is showing some signs of a tumor and Dr. Reddy has moved up her MRI. She didn't see anything that sent up red flags, but she is doing the MRI early to just be sure. May God Bless you and give that sweet Cade a hug from us.

I just wanted to let you all know that you were in my thoughts today. I check Cassidy's website frequently to see how you all are doing. I told Ray about the posting of Cade starting school and how bittersweet that was for you. I laughed about him wanting to cut grass all of the time, that is cute! I still tear up when I think about that precious baby belting his lungs out at Cassidy's funeral when they played her favorite song. To me, that was evidence of God's hand reaching down to make you smile during the hardest day of your lives. I know every day without Cassidy is so hard, but Cade gives you a reason to get out of bed each day. Praise God for Cade and for the legacy left behind by Cassidy. Thinking of you,

Hey Guys! I am sorry you had a rough week! Of course, after losing your precious baby, I am not sure it will ever be a GOOD week! My heart aches for so many people that long to be with their children one more time. Just to hold them, hug them, kiss them, and tell them that you love them. I cannot imagine walking one day in your shoes! I pray that you feel God's loving arms wrapped around you as he carries you each day! I pray that you feel Precious Cassidy's presence with you as she walks beside you every day! Thank you so much for sharing your precious children with us!
I too was shocked to read the statistics you posted. I ran across them about a month ago! Those statistics confirm why we all should be so passionate about finding a cure! These children have shown me what I am here to do and that my purpose is to help in any way I can! I think more people would give donations if they just realized! I have tried to tell as many people as I can and get the point across that the time to help is NOW before your family is faced with this horrible disease. If you look at the number of children that will be diagnosed with cancer during childhood and look at all the people you know including friends and family and their friends, it makes that number REALLY scary! Cancer is everywhere and I pray that a cure comes SOON!
Sorry to get into all of that, but it is really heartbreaking! It is more than unfair and I pray that there will be a day where innocent children will not suffer from this monster anymore!
Give Cade BIG HUGS from me and Dustin! Sunday I thought of Angel Cassidy and the other AMAZING children that have earned their angel wings. Dustin and I saw a rainbow on the way home! It was BEAUTIFUL!!! Sending LOTS of Love and Warm Wishes, Tierce Family!!!

Well, it is just me again checking in as usual...I still cannot help but to check every day just to see how things are and what is going on with you, Sean, and Cade. I find myself looking at Cade too and thinking of how much he reminds me of Cass and how proud she would be of him. I think she sord of lives through him; especially his eyes and smile. Thank you for always updating the site each week although I get to see you at church...it just reminds me daily of how blessed I am that I have two beautiful, healthy children and that we were able to know one of the sweetest girls to ever be placed here on this earth. We love you so much and miss Cassidy too! I hope that this week will be a little better. Love, Candace

Suzie,
For some reason, I am drawn to your site all the time. Through you, I have prayed for so many other familys as well. I wanted to tell you that there is a memory I have that comes back to me every time I think of Cassidy. I saw you and Cassidy and your parents at Harvey's restaurant and we visited with each other, I was blown away with Cassidy's beauty! Her smile was just like yours, so sweet! Sometimes things stick with you and you just don't know why, now I know! Something else, we have just moved and are finding it difficult to adjust. I read Cassidy's site and others you have related to us, especially Kadin's, and have realized that life is not what we think it is so much of the time, it is not making the gifted program or being a star athlete or having children who don't fight with each other, it is loving each other and cherishing our time with each other because others wouldn't care what grade, athletic ability, etc.. that their child had if they could just hold them agian and have them there to love!! I want to thank you and your family, especially Cassidy, for making it more clear every day what life is really about.
With much love, Nikki

You have made me sad this morning. But then again, I think you were right when you said this has been rough week, because I have been sad all week. I cried at the Kandles for Kids, I cried at the Compassionate Friends meeting and now you have made me cry. I think I am just missing Cassidy.
Seazon told me that while she was over there this past weekend, that she caught herself just staring at Cade. She couldn't get over how much he looked and sounded like Cassidy. She had me to order her car tag yesterday and it says IMISU. I thought that was sweet.
I hope everyone will look on Kadin's page and look through his pictures - there is one of Cade at Kandles for Kids and it is precious. I have it set for my wallpaper on my computer. For those who don't know....he loves tractors and he had on a shirt with a tractor on it when he had his face painted. That is a tractor on his face.
I love ya'll very much and I want you to know that losing Cassidy after all she went through is the worst thing I have ever been through. She has put a scar in my heart that will be there forever.
Love,
Aunt Bev

Hey guys,
I just wanted to say that we are praying and thinking about you. Suzie, it was good to see you and Cade at the Kandles for Kids. I'm sure when we come up to visit for an Auburn game then Sean and I will get to hang out in his "man room." You two were there for us when we first got to Stem Cell and you continue to be there for us. I hope one day we can repay the kindness you two have given me, Emily and Angel Kadin. Sometimes when I'm playing golf, I see two butterfly's playing together and I smile and imagine that's how Cassidy and Kadin are playing together in Heaven. If you guys ever need anything, we are only a phone call away. Take care of yourselves.

Hello,
I found your page about your beautiful Angel through the Crosby Thomley web page. I started reading about your little one and the joy and love that she brought to everyone she knew. I also have a little one with many medical problems and like Cassidy they are so carefree and full of love. I thank God everyday that I was chosen to be my little girls mom, because she has taught me so many life lessons. I just wanted to say that my prayers are with you and your family, I will pray for comfort and strength for you and your family. May God Bless You and Keep You Always.

I have read thru dozens of caringbridge sites in the past week as I was directed there for a local child in Children's Hosp. Each time I read a page I see a supernatural strength that could only be explained to anyone as God. I have two children and even though we lost my husband and their father three years ago, I can't imagine losing one of my children. I will say there are days in my daily walk when I will question God and my role in this world.....until I read a site like yours and know God is still God and he is in control. Thank you for renewing my faith!

How do you fill a hole in your heart? How do you get over the emptiness? How do you just keep on going when your soul cries out in pain? How do you handle the ache deep inside? You don't...you just keep breathing in and out each minute, each hour, each day and then one day you'll notice that the pain is not so painful, the hurt not so severe, the ache has dulled and that life goes on. But when does the "missing someone" completely stop?...only when you're together again. Loving someone is risky and we always risk losing them, but isn't the loving worth it?

Hello!
I don't believe I have ever signed but do want you to know that Cassidy's life had an impact on me and I continue to check on you each day and hold you up in prayer. Today someone sent me an email story that made me think of you and your family. I apologize if you have heard it already, but I think it is a great reminder to us all about the journey we are on and our purpose. Cassidy has already reached her Heavenly goal and is more blessed than all of us left behind.
Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot;then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it".
Especially on the hard days, always remember that God does love you and is preparing you for the special job he has just for you. He has promised to never leave nor forsake us. I pray he will continue to ease your pain and fill the void in your life.

hey hey!!!!i was just wanted to know how you were doing.....tell cade that i said hi......we should come down and we could do stuff...i have a pomn for you.I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.
i love you so much...kori danielle locke

Goodmorning To All,
I was sitting here at work and just thought of Cassidy, so I thought that I would write you A few lines to say hello and to tell you that all of you are still in my thoughts and prayers everyday that goes by. I went out to check on Chelsi and Cassidy on Saturday and things still looked very good out there. When we go by a cemetery Cayson always says bye bye Chelsi and then he says we love you ChelCass(meaning Chelsi & Cassidy). I thought that was pretty cute. I really wish that Cayson and Cade could get together some time and play. They had so much fun at the rodeo getting dirty and walking aroung with Tim (my husband). Tim thinks that he is so funny. He still laughs about him asking if he had some money for him some ice cream.
Well just wanted to let you know that I still think of all of you very often and love you very much. You are always in our Thoughts and Prayers.
We Love Ya'll! Shawnee, Tim, & Cayson Franklin

Suzie, I agree that boys are different than girls! I only have Dustin, but my sister has 2 girls and twin boys! The boys have ALWAYS been different! Dustin is only 2, but the only thing he will tell me about his day at daycare is, What did you do at school today, Dustin? Reply, They push me. EVERY TIME!!! I have come to figure out that when he says, They push me, I think it is actually that Dustin pushes someone else! He is not a bully, but he is rough at times :o) I hardly doubt that his teachers let people push him around all day! I bet this has been a hard week for you! Praying for you and praying that Cassidy's presence is still ALL around you!

This is long but such an encouragement.
The Brave Little Soul
by John Alessi
Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. She especially enjoyed the love she saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however the little soul was sad, for on this day she saw suffering in the world. She approached God and sadly asked, “Why do bad things happen; why is there suffering in the world?”
God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in people’s hearts.” The little soul was confused. “What do you mean,” she asked.” God replied, “Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone.”
The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, “The suffering soul unlocks the love in people’s hearts much like the sun and the rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this - it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer - to unlock this love – to create this miracle - for the good of all humanity."
Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain himself. With her wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into the world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people’s hearts! I want to create that miracle!"
God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you.”
God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, “Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed.”
Thus at that moment the brave little soul was born into the world, and through her suffering and God’s strength, she unlocked the goodness and love in people’s hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys – some regained lost faith – many came back to God. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased.
I thought this was lovely. It was left in ^i^Angel Skyler's^i^ GB. All these little ones are brave little souls.
Cade wishing you and all a wonderful school year. Hope all have an fun and good week. Take Care.

I know it is hard everyday but it will get better just think that she is not suffering anymore and is with all the family in heaven. It has been nine years since Uncle Dave has been gone and I still miss him and wish he were still here. The hurt gets better each year the first is the worse. Keeping you all in my prayers every day.

I haven't posted in a while, but your family has not been far from my thoughts and prayers. I am thankful that Cade has recuperated well. I absolutely love the pictures/slideshow! Your Cassidy was so beautiful! What a charming smile she had. And Cade is a cutie! I wish our well-wishes and words of comfort and love were enough to take away your pain, just as I wish all our prayers were enough to keep Cassidy here with her family. I hope that you feel HIS presence as well as Your Cassidy's daily.

Cassidy, I bet you and Kadin are having a good time together and playing with LOTS of new friends! I bet the two of you keep everyone entertained! Keep watch over Mommy, Daddy, and Cade! I know all of them miss you like crazy and I know that you are patiently awaiting their arrival for eternity! I am so glad that your Mom & Dad shared your journey with all of us and I am blessed to have "known" you! I look forward to a HUGE hug when I finally have the honor of meeting you!

Hey Suzie, Well I looked at the slide show and of course it brought tears to my eyes. Cass is so beautiful, just like her momma, and I know that you miss her so much. I will always keep you in my heart and prayers and will always love you for my blessing my life when I was a little girl and now when I am grown. I am so sad that VBS is over...I really had a lot of fun and cannot wait until next year. Remember to get a copy of the tape from church b/c it was really great to see all the balloons going up to Cass...I know she caught atleast a red and blue one( one for BAMA and then one for Yucky Auburn) As for the other ones, I hope they reached someone who once again Cassidy's testimony will inspire to know Jesus as she did. I love you! Have a good rest of the week. We will have to get the kids together again real soon! Love, Candace

I know Cassidy is with you every step of the way (ok, when her and Kadin aren't running like wild children)! I know her and Kadin are having a good time in heaven, but I know they watch after their families constantly too! They aren't normal children; they are both little Superheros! They both have impacted SO many lives! Everyone has learned from these guys and they are STRONGER than I could ever hope to be! Lots of Love & Hugs, Sean, Suzie, Cade & Angel Cassidy!

Sean and Suzie, I am so sorry for taking so long to write. Bailey has been in a lot of pain and it has lasted for a little over a month, in which we have spent in the hospital. I was devastated to hear of Cassidy's death and Judy and I had made plans to come to the funeral, but Bailey was admitted to the hospital the same day. I can't say that I know exactly how you feel but I'm sure that it's no less painful that what I'm feeling right now. In case you didn't know, Bailey has little time left. I'm hopeful that he'll make it to his birthday on 8-28, but it's doubtful. I hate sending bad news when I'm writing to wish you well. Will right again soon!
P.S. We're in room 442 and we would love to hear from you.

We hope you have a very happy 4th of July. We have been thinking of you all a lot and think that another reunion is in order. We miss you all terribly!
The summer has been busy for us. The move was much harder than we had anticipated. Though Kadin remains forever in our hearts, there were a lot of memories in that house.
WE pray for you all and hope that you continue to do as best as you can. We know that some days are still so hard. Know that you are loved and thought of everyday. Kadin and Cassidy are watching out for us. And while it is comforting to know that, it still doesn't make us hurt any less.
We love you guys. Say hello to the family and give Cade a super big hug from us.
Very much love,

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

O.k. I cheated. I copied this from another CaringBridge site. Another precious mother who very recently lost her little boy to cancer quoted this from Anne Graham Lotz book(Billy Graham's daughter):
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go for to you I lift up my soul.”
Psalm 143:8
“Don’t wallow in your ‘why’s?’
Don’t throw a pity party.
Don’t remain in your misery.
Don’t stop short of all God wants to do for you.
Understand that you may not understand this side of Heaven.
Claim through your own experience . . .
The blessing that follows brokenness,
The life that follows death,
And the glory that follows suffering!
Trust God to sort it all out in the end. He can break the bonds of your suffering - NOW! Trust Him! He will bring you through. When you don’t understand why, trust Him because even when your hopes are crushed, there is glory ahead.”
Anne Graham Lotz
I know trusting in our Lord & Savior will see you through. Time heals, but until such time cherish memories. God bless you and keep you.

Dear Tierce Family,
On Wednesday we went to the cemetary to place Father's Day flowers on my Grandaddy's graves. While we were there Claire wanted us to find Cassidy's grave. With help from the office there we were able to do so. What a beautiful, peaceful, little area we found. Such a peace was in that place. Of course as Claire said, "Cassidy is up in Heaven" but I was so touched by the beauty there. We did not realize it was time for her Birthday when we were there but Claire does want to take balloons back so we will do that soon. I am so happy that we were able to meet you guys and spend time together back in January. Claire had such a good time and talks about it often. You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord continue to Bless you and keep you.
Your friends,

Hey Cass! We are hoping that you are having a GREAT BIRTHDAY!!! I know that you liked the cake icing that was on the candle that floated to you. Landon was wondering if you had a wall in Heaven to hang your cards on. I told him that you had a fancy pink corkboard that was all girlie. I loved all of your gifts at the cemetary. I wonder if Stitch is still blowing bubbles. I'm just glad Luke did not break it. Have a super-duper day and show Poppy and MawMaw all of your birthday cards. (Don't let Poppy have any icing).
We love you!

Tears and thoughts of what "could have been" but then I think of the great reward/splendor/glory the CREATOR of the Universe must have going on for Cassidy and our loved ones who are there! I remember coming up last year to bring her birthday presents and how my daughter and I couldn't get her to even open them because she was having a bad day.. even though we sure tried! ( while you two took a break away from the hospital.) Celebrate her LIFE, because when she was well, she really enjoyed life and would want you to also. In my thoughts and prayers today, Cindy Fulmer

Cherish all the beautiful memories. I just have to say thank you again for continuing to share Cassidy and your lives with all of us. We love you.

Dear Suzie –
There has not been a moment of everyday that I have not thought about you and your family. I know with each day you miss her more and more. And I pray everyday that God will fill each day with comfort and peace to help ease your pain. Cassidy is a beautiful little girl. I was unable to attend the funeral, but I did get to make visitation. As I walked in the funeral home, and looked at all the wonderful pictures of her life, I could honestly feel her spirit, love and beauty. Thank you for sharing all that with us.
When I said earlier that there has not been a day that I have not thought about you, that is been from the very beginning. Missy works with Kelli at the VA and she has kept me informed since the first day Cassidy got sick at school. I am so ashamed that I have not been in contact with you since that first day, but honestly, I didn’t know what to say. Cassidy getting sick really hit home with me. Remember, we were pregnant at the same time? Addie was born July 13th, a month after Cassidy, and I have put myself in your shoes through out this journey. Please know, that Cassidy and your family were and still are in my daily prayers.
There were a lot of people praying for Cassidy from Alexander City. I was amazed at how a few emails requesting prayers multiplied into hundreds and how quickly it was done. We all started praying for ‘Super’ Kadin ever since he and Cassidy were in ICU together. My friends and I cried the day he earned his angel wings too. Kadin and Cassidy were two beautiful children, inside and out. God is blessed to have them now. I truly believe that God choose them not because they are special children, but they are special children with special parents. You, Sean, Emily and Billy truly touched everyone’s heart with your amazing spirit, strength and love. Those on the outside could honestly feel your pain and love. Cassidy and Kadin are blessed with wonderful parents.
There were so many things that I use to take for granted. Now, through your journey I have found myself to enjoy every moment of every day. Those little things that kids would do to drive you crazy, now pass with a smile. At the end of the day when my patients are running thin, that is when I think of you the most. How Suzie would do anything to have her kids acting silly at the dinner table. Those are the times that I just give them a big ‘Cassidy’ hug.
Last month I ordered and received my Curing Childhood Cancer tag. I had it personalize LVMI3, for love my three kids. I know that is just a small amount to the huge fight against cancer. Yes, I have three kids. Addie will be 7 in July, Claire will be 5 in September and Max turned 3 in May. Addie is my sweet innocent one that wears her heart on her shoulder. She has prayed and prayed for Cassidy and wears her Cassidy shirt proud. I have yet to tell her about Cassidy’s angel wings. Claire is my ‘wildcat’. Don’t know if this is true in your case but there is something about those second children! Rickey says she is all ‘Singley’ and I say definitely NOT! Daddy of course thinks she is wonderful and can do no wrong. As for Max, he was our big surprise, but a nice surprise. He is all boy and spoiled rotten. What momma want give him, Addie will. After two girls, it was nice to have a boy.
I will be thinking about you tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow will bring back all the wonderful and precious memories of Cassidy, a celebration of her life. I know your life will never be normal again. I pray that your ‘new normal’ will be a life full of happiness and wonderful memories, old and new.
With love,
Julie

Hey Tierces!
I haven't signed in lately but must do so now to wish ya'll a Happy Cassidy Birthday for tomorrow. Thanks for coming by to see me this morning. I miss the contact we all have had the last few years.
I know that every day without the Catface is a lonely one for all of you. Even though you and Cade are finding time to do things you weren't able to do before, the hole is still there. On her birthday tomorrow remember why that day IS so special--because it gave her to you and to all of us. Imagine the hole that would be there without her birthday. True, it's one that you may never have noticed; but her gift to you and to all of us was her shining spirit that still lives on in our memories of her. I still have to smile and laugh at the wonderful things I learned from Miss Cassidy Lea Tierce.
Happy birthday, Catface. We all miss you and remember you. And we will always love you.

Hey Guys!
We got the package today...it actually came last week, but we couldn't get to the post office until today. Some of us actually work..HA! The bracelet is beautiful...Thank you for being such good friends and doing that for us. It is very special to both of us.
We will be thinking of you this week. "The day" was not as bad as we thought it was going to be. We watched some home movies...and went to the cemetery. We released some balloons with special messages on them. And we ate ALL of Kadin's favorites for dinner. It was a good day, afterall. It was filled with so much emotion, kind of like the day he was born.
We hope ya'll are doing okay. It was so good to see you and spend time with you. We should make that an annual event! Take care of eachother and we will talk to you soon.
Very much love...
Billy, Emily and ^^Angel Kadin^^

Praying for you today and every day! I cannot imagine the heartache that you feel EVERY day! Losing a child is something that you never get over. I guess you finally begin to cope better, but you will never be the same. I pray that God will continue to carry you every day! I know Precious Cade lifts your spirits too! Sending BIG HUGS your way! Check out this website. It is sweet, but made me cry! http://parentswish.com/

I just have to come to Cassisdy's website every few days... her beautiful smile reminds me to pray for you and all the other parents who have lost a child. She was so precious and I know you continue to go through the motions of life without her. May it help to know others still care and pray for you.
May the God of comfort be with you each and every day.

Got an email earlier today that June 5th is Cancer Prayer Day! I pray for children and their families that have been affected by this horrible monster EVERY day, but wanted to mention it anyway! I cannot imagine how hard it is to be at home without Cassidy physically being there! I am glad that you guys and Billy and Emily have been able to lean on each other so much during this difficult time! It has to help to have somebody that DOES UNDERSTAND!!! Those that have not lost children can show compassion and pray for you and try to lift you up, but we do NOT understand. I think of you guys EVERY day and pray for you daily! I pray that the Lord will continue to carry you and that you will feel his loving arms wrapped around you! Give Cade LOTS of BIG HUGS from me and Dustin!!! I know he misses his sister too!!! I pray that you feel Cassidy's presence all around you and that her presence will bring you comfort!

I am praying for you. I think of you often and wish there was more any of us could do to help you in your daily battle with emptiness and sorrow. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes with the morning." I hope your "night" is shortened and the load of "weeping" lightened. I feel the emptiness, too, although I realize it is miniscule compared to yours. Fondly, Cindy Fulmer

As the days move forward, you may not be aware of the many, many prayers being offered up for you and your family daily, but they are there. So many of us have followed you on your journey quietly and silently taking your family to the Throne of Grace. You are loved by so many. Just know that when you start thinking no one is there, there is always someone out there praying for you and your family. Stay close to each other and love on that sweet Cade for me. You are a dear family and I love you.
