Myself and my family will always remember Cass with love. She was always kind and thoughtful to Debbie & I, and our daughters Chrissy, Kelly, and Melissa. Cass always let you know that you were family and that she cared about you. It was never fake. She was as real as it gets. I am keeping the family in my prayers, knowing that Cass herself is now at peace.
Mama Cass, with a heart of golf and always calling it like it is. You have truly made an impact on so many lives. You will be missed by so many
Cass, rest in peace. You were an angel to everyone and now you'll be an Angel in heaven I know we were friends for 20 years and you were such a special person. You'll always be in my heart ❤️ I'll never forget how kind and sweet you were. I'll miss seeing your smiling face. I'll always love you and remember how helpful you always were. Rest well my friend, Hope
I will never forget that she taught me all of my “street smarts” along with some not too savory bad habits! 😊. She was always so loving to her sister (my mom). She will always be remembered with so much love 💔💔
She was a good friend and co--worked, she always made me laugh and have a good heart. Resting on peace.
A loving mother who worked hard her entire life and loved her kids/grands, etc. She was Missy’s role model and Missy has her heart. She was loved and will greatly be missed.
Cass RIP. You will be missed 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Gram always made the best Xmas cookies ever. They were simple but no one could make them like her because she made them with her special ingredient, her love. She was a strongwilled woman who never backed down and made me tougher as I grew older. Days at your house and down the shore will be memories forever etched in my heart Thank you for everything Gram, I'll miss you Take care of Leen while you're up there ❤❤

Omg i ate there or Missy ate at my house they had a pot of brewed icetea on the table every day. I went to Seaside Heights with them on Easter a Few times. She was a great mom a beautiful person. Heaven is lucky to have her. Love Kathy❤️ window

Crocheting me a blanket for my baby doll and a little pillow for my baby doll and I still have that for when I have grandkids I love you Graham and going down the shore every Easter you keeping everybody together
My Mom was literally the strongest woman I’ve ever known. She had the biggest heart ever and would always offer to help anyone in anyway that she could. She instilled a solid work ethic and morals in her children. We all followed her lead (as best we could) The only time I can remember her taking off of work was when the Phillies won the World Series in 1981. She kept us off school and took us to the parade. She actually hated parades but her love for the Philadelphia Phillies overrode that lol….She loved all of her family so much and was always ready to throw down if necessary. I remember asking her to stop by my ex MIL and just wait in the car while I picked something up. As we were driving away my ex MIL started shouting stupid shit to me and my Mom slammed on her brakes, put the car in Park and got out to beat her ass!! I reminded her that a couple of the grandkids were in the car so she got back in the car and I heaved an eye roast at my ex MIL head. That satisfied my Mom enough lol. I will miss you forever Mom
