The heartache, illness and addiction that had stolen Casey’s sparkle took her life. Her family and friends will remember her for the beautiful, funny, smart and sunny beacon of light that she was. We take comfort in knowing that Casey is surrounded by light, free from the struggle that haunted her, and we would have given anything for her to experience that freedom in this lifetime. Our grief over losing her is infinite. And now so is she. We love you!
