Casey's Family Members

 Although I think about Casey every day and even speak to her every day, my emotions are heightened by her approaching birthday. In three days, Casey will be 25 years old. Certainly a milestone in everyone's life. With that in mind, I wonder what she would have been doing for her birthday and then picture her with friends and her cousin Jamie getting dressed to go out to dinner and maybe do  a little dancing afterwards. I wonder what lucky young man might have been in life stepping out with girls to celebrate with Casey and her posse. I imagine her working in New York City as a reporter with goals of becoming news anchor. I see her living in a charming little apartment with her cats. I see her closet filled with pretty dresses, many of them pink. And I see pictures of her family and friends that she lovingly mounted on her bedroom walls. And then when I look at Casey, I see the broad, familiar smile that spoke of sincere happiness and a sprinkle of mischievousness. Although Casey is not physically with us to celebrate her 25th birthday, I know that she will be watching as  her mother, father, friends and cousins come together to celebrate the life and achievements of a very, very special young woman who is deeply missed by all who knew her. Happy Birthday, my darling Casey.

Remembering my angel on her 25th,

Aunt Janice

Sunday, July 17th should be a great day that offers us all an opportunity to show our love and appreciation to Casey for having taught us how to share and spend our time doing worthwhile and selfless tasks for the benefit of others. I will always be amazed at how Casey was able to feed the hungry, tend to shelter animals, work at women's shelters, write for a college newspaper all while attending Fordham as a full-time student. Her energy and dedication are simply astounding.
Always proud,

Not a day goes by that I don't think of Casey. Every morning as I pour my coffee, I look at Casey's picture on my kitchen counter and greet her with a "Good morning, Casey!" Her picture is a pleasant reminder of the beautiful young woman who made me proud to be called her aunt.  Again when I climb into my car and look toward to dashboard, Casey's picture greets me with a gentle smile. Again, I take the opportunity to speak to her.  These are the private moments that off me time to spend alone with my niece; moments that now, more often than no,t bring a smile to my face. Yes, there are still times when I tear-up, like now, but there are many times when I have to smile as I remember the good times with Casey and the times yet to come with Casey.

Always missed and always on my mind.

Viewed once again Casey's video. This time I was able to actually listen to and think about the many different comments people made about their relationship with Casey and the impact she had on their lives. Once again, I am left with many reminders of how very special my niece is and how terribly much I and so many others miss Casey. She is always on my mind and forever in my heart.
I love you, sweet Casey.

The family Hildebrand family reunion was great. It seems it has been so many years since we got together with the cousins. Everyone had a great time, and we shared many old and quite humorous memories. Without this time the cousins would not have scheduled some golf outings which all are looking forward to, especially Butchie. By the way the next day jay golfed with cousin Richie. A good time was shared by those cousins. Thanks again Janice for organizing the event.
