"It was very hard not to smile when you met or ran into Cassidy because she smiled all the time and told hilarious jokes. She was a kind, helpful and inclusive spirit. She was very inquisitive and smart with just the right amount of sass."
"She loved her mother very much. The pair did everything together, including attending over a hundred Bruins games since her birth, multiple trips to Disney World, a Disney Cruise and attending 2 showings of Disney on Ice annually."
"She was learning to roller skate and loved riding her bicycle from her grandfather, her scooter and electric scooter and her hoverboard. She bounced on the trampoline from her grandmother anytime weather permitted and swung on her swing set in all sorts of weather"
"She loved outdoor time at her summer cottage with her best friend, but she was also happy to just sit and play cards or tic tac toe or sing and dance with her favorite grown-ups."
"Cassidy also leaves behind her Pomeranian puppy, Delilah Cupcake, whom she loved endlessly, and four house rabbits; Kensington Christie, Griselda Marie, Oreo and Snickerdoodle" tributes.com/obituary/show/…
