Losing someone so close is so hard. I will be here to support you at any time and any hour. Sending so much love to you guys during this difficult time

Butterfly on a breeze 


If you’re lucky enough to see
Catch a butterfly on a breeze 
See the sun reflect upon her wings 
Time so fleeting, eventually she’ll leave

A brief moment unsure what you’ve seen
So much beauty to life she brings 
So much more there was sure to be 
If only she kept fluttering her wings 

I suppose she needs to be free 
For the beauty and light she sings
Though forever I wish she would be;
Here in both dreams and reality 

We shall remain with her memory 
From time to time I hope to see 
The sun on your magical wings 
All the beauty and light she sings 
The most fleeting of all living things;
Is a butterfly on a breeze 

♾️

My dear Cassandra, 
Your light, your energy, and your presence will never dissipate, the people who you’ve impacted during your life will carry it on for you. The magnitude of your existence will be felt indefinitely, I can promise you that. I cant even imagine how much more love you could have shared, enjoyed, exchanged, and received if you only had more time. I hope I get to see you in another lifetime where i’m afforded the privilege to grow old with you, and in that lifetime, we’ll be re-watching Austin Powers for the 1000th time. Rest gently my sweet.

I remember meeting you at the Cafe you worked at, I was working there temporarily and you were so unbelievably sweet even when others were upset or lashing out you understood and you didn’t get mad or sad about it. I already loved her and looked up to her just from spectating that day and as our shifts ended and the Cafe slowed down, we closed and the boss left. I’ll never forget you and how bubbly and welcoming  you were as we chatted and cleaned up the Cafe together before leaving. You told me very important values that day, you didn’t want anyone in the world to go through what you did and what you still were going through and I respect that and always will to this day, I’ll keep my promise to you and I believe I’ll make the world a better place like you wanted by doing so. Even if you lost the battle, you were the strongest soldier in my eyes, because soldiers don’t just fight, they share valuable messages from battle too.

Meeting Robyn was one of the happiest days for you and I'll never forget the tears we had. I love having you as a bestfriend and I always will. 
I'll sing one direction so loud for you everyday. Rest easy baby.

my beautiful angel. you will forever be missed, not a day goes by without thinking of you. i will cherish our memories forever❤️ you will always be my big sister and i hope that you will watch over me. it still doesn’t feel real, feels like a dream. you had a heart of gold and nothing but love for everyone. you were so kind and caring. please come visit me in my dreams soon. goodbye for now, i love you so much

We went on so many adventures together. You were there the day I had Brooke, and were always there after that. 
It felt like you lived with us for a time because we were always together. I'm going to miss you so much Cassandra. Thanks for all the amazing memories ❤️❤️

Me and Cassandra met in grade 5..... instantly clicked me, Whitney, Brayden, and Cassandra were the 4 best friends anyone could have.... having someone I've known for so long and was so close to be..... not here is so hard.... Cassandra was such a fun, energetic, beautiful, outgoing soul. There was never a time where she wasn't being her sassy self.... to the late night sleepovers, to our first heartbreaks together, to the times we just were being our young reckless selfs.... I won't ever be the same without you here Cass..... I love you endlessly and forever.... I will always look at a sunset and know you are there.

I love you so much cass. I’m sorry I’d be distant with you from time to time. For the last four years, I haven’t gone longer than a month and a half without spending a night with this crazy girl.
She would give me the energy I needed. 
I got her into painting like 3 years ago ish, I have her artwork on my wall and I’m so blessed to have a one of a kind, my own little piece of cass with me forever. You had so much love to give. 

I will post much more once I find the time to let the thought sink in your truly gone and it hasn’t settled in for me yet babes.
I love you forever and I’ll be talking to you at night.

She wanted to wait outside the tour bus until security made us leave 🤙🏻🤪

I remember the day Cassandra WANTED to go kayaking with me, something totally out of her comfort zone. First day was a rough slow start, but one day we were kayaking and I looked up from my cockpit and she was almost around the whirlpool point by sandy cove.  She’s made me almost have Heart attacks on that lake I swear 😅💜

Cassandra was not only a beautiful young women, but a smart and caring women. My heart goes to her family and close friends. I will cherish our memories forever. 

“A friend in spirit, indeed. Let us remember you as you were in life.”
