I will never forget the day I met KC. She was an incredibly special person, her own individual. My thoughts go out to her family, friends, and everyone she loved.

I am so sorry to hear about Casey. She was my best friend for a few years before she moved to Oregon. I have so many great memories of times with her. We got back in contact about 8 years ago and then it trailed off again. I looked her up to see if I could get in contact with her again and came across the news of her passing. I am shocked and saddened and wish I had looked her up sooner. She was a great lady and always supportive of me. I will miss the friend I didn't get a chance to get back.
