"Some of the Willow Lake ladies often went to Merk's for breakfast and had Cassie as a server. We so enjoyed her. She was very personable and showed us pictures on her phone of family and told of her studies and classes at Ball State. We prayed each time over our breakfast and asked her what we could pray for. She would tell us members of her family she was concerned about and we prayed for her because of the stress she had with her classes. We will miss her. We pray for all of her family for peace and comfort in this time and the future."
