Paula, you will be in our hearts forever.
My deepest condolences to Dave, Pat and Bob Cassidy. My prayers are with you all always. I didnt know Paula for very long but she always was smiling, that is how I remember her is her laughing and smiling. She always told me how much she loved her mom and dad, how great it was to share the history of her and Dave’s lives. She always looked at the positive side of life and so young inside.
Paula, I will deeply miss sitting next to you in the office,laughing, and telling each other the funniest stories, I had a ball chatting with you. I will always think of you when I go to have my slushee, I can hear you chopping it up next to me telling me about the new flavors you found over the weekend. I too will set aside some Ruffles and a slushee…Love Ya Paula *hugs*
Mr. & Mrs. Cassidy & Dave:
As Paula’s boss, we shared alot of laughs, My staff and I shall never forget her. She is and always will be missed by us all. Our prayers are with you all- I could always hear her munching potatoe chips..Paula, wherever you are, I know that somewhere, you’ve got a bag of them, but I’ve saved you a bag of oatmeal raisin cookies in my drawer….. Carol
Mr. and Mrs. Cassidy and family and Dave –
I have GREAT memories of Paula throughout our years of school together riding around in her little blue car, her cheerleading, Becky McCord and her creaming everyone in war ball in P.E., hanging out at her brother’s apartment, the group of “us girls” doing crazy stuff together, Powder Puff football, her way with the Special Ed kids, slumber parties, our fun 20 Year Reunion, . . .. Yes, I could go on and on because she was so fun to be with and a very good friend. I will miss her alot!
Love, Joanne
Dear Mike, Monica, Mr. & Mrs. Cassidy and family,
Scott and I are deeply saddened to hear of Paula’s passing. She was such a wonderful person and so full of happiness. Scott fondly recalls all their days working together at SECO so long ago. She had a real talent for making you feel good about yourself…she was a great friend to all of us. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. All our love,
Scott & Lori Beeler
My sincere condolences to the Cassidy family. I will always have a special place in my heart for Paula, we had so many good times together during our high school days. I remember riding horses with Paula, and who can forget our cheerleading days, gosh those were great days! Paula has such a wonderful smile, and I’m sure she is smiling upon us right now – Paula, I love you and will miss you!
Paula will always remain 17 in our hearts. That is the year she, along with six other cheerleaders, became part of our family. We had so much fun–we laughed a lot, travelled up and down the Valley together, and really were a family. Right at the center of the laughter and good times was always Paula. That girl knew how to enjoy life. We are grateful we could share some of her life with her. Bill and Teresa Knirck
Memories of all the fun times we shared when our kids were growing up are flooding through me as I write this to you, Pat and Bob. I remember all those little blond heads bobbing around and I hear their laughter and shrieks of joy.
Paula’s time here was much too short – it seems only yesterday she and Julie were little girls. The entire Coates family sends our condolances to you. I wish I could put my arms around you and give you a giant hug and tell you in person how much I care. Just know that you are missed and loved by all of us. The Coates Family, Kay, Dick, Jay, Julie and Doug
Some of the best times of my life were spent with Paula. They were the best because of Paula who was so full of love, life and a happy spirit. She made everything we did fun and full of great memories. Even though we lost touch after high school, I feel I have lost a great friend and a person who was a huge part of my life.
My sympathies, love and prayers go to Paula’s family. I hope you are aware of just how many peoples’ lives your wonderful daughter touched. She will not be forgotten.
All my love, Lissa
Dear Pat and family,
I didn’t know Paula but I still hurt for you and your family. I know and love you from West Side Church and can’t imagine the pain you feel. Remember you are loved by Jesus and your church family. Hang in there one day at a time. My prayer for you:
Lord Jesus:
I lift up to you the Cassidy family and ask that you would surround them with your presence and comfort. Remind them of your love for them and how much you love Paula. Assure them of your promises of eternal life and bless them with your peace that passes all understanding. Help them to take one day at a time and trust you in all circumstances. Take them all in your arms of comfort and love.
In Christ’s name, Amen.
Love in Him, Peggy Henry
To the family:
You will be in my prayers & thoughts. Always keep Paula in your hearts and remember all the things that made her special.
With deepest sympathy,
Kim Helman
friend of Sandy & family
I just wanted you all to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. Paula was one of my closest and dearest high school friends; there is a place in my heart that will be forever touched with her memory. From the Blue Falcon to the countless sleepovers, her smiling face and ability to enjoy life to its fullest has made a lasting impression on my life. Some of the happiest memories of my younger years are those I spent with you Paula. Paula, you will be greatly missed and were loved by all those around you. Thank you for touching my life in such a positive way, your presence will be in my heart forever. To her family, please except my sincere sympathy and hold in your hearts the joy that she brought to all those that were touched by her presence.
Paula, were just checking in with you to tell you how much we continue to think of you each day. As the Christmas holiday arrives, we can’t help but remember our last Christmas together. We shared the words “we love you”
and our hugs were a little tighter that last Christmas. We know your with us even now, and your always in our hearts. We think the ache is sometimes lightened, and then we realize it’s not. We miss you. We’re thinking of you, and we can’t help but smile and laugh about all our past Christmas’s with you. You’ll be with us this year too, we know. Brandon talked of you today. He’s still grasping with the how’s and why’s. You left such a profound print on his life. Your life served such a special purpose to so many, and you didn’t know it. We love you, and we’ll be listening this Christmas for your special “bell” to be ringing for us.
Tom and Family: I am sorry for the loss of your sister and your were always a dear friend to me. I am living hear and got reaquainted with my first love after 30 years and we are married. I am still disabled from Hanford and miss all my past co-workers alot. God Bless you all and I miss both my parents. Enjoy life to its fullest,. prayers and love:
