I’m just finding out. I was a friend of Cassandra’s from Chicago, and through the years we tried to keep in touch. I tried checking on her a couple of times during this pandemic, and when I didn’t hear back from her this was my last recourse. Sadly I’m too late... for now, but I’m so, so looking forward to welcoming her back under the perfect conditions that Jehovah has in store for us. We can catch up then. Love, Eunice

Cassandra will be greatly missed. She was faithful to Jehovah to the end which is such a blessing and example to imitate. Growing up with the Baber family was fun and memorable. I think the worn out path from our house to there's still exists. Cassandra's home was always opened to us. Cassandra was a mild manner, humble, soft spoken, wise and beautiful inside and out. Looking forward to seeing her again in Jehovahs New System. I miss the station wagon rides and the get down Baber Q meals.

I Know words can not describe what you are all feeling my deepest condolences and sympathies are with the family and friends of Cassandra. The bible tells us Jehovah God is close to the Brokenhearted Psalm 34:18. Please find comfort in John 5:28,29 hope to see loved one dear Cassandra again. She will be missed.
