Jeff, Lisa and Family,
Needless to say, the boys and I were devastated to hear the news about Casey. I remember little Casey from Nanny Hoogkamp's day care and had watched her grow into a beautiful young woman and mother. I know that there are no words to ease your pain, but please know that we all love you and are praying for you during this time.
Love, Jerri, Drew and Zach

Jeff N Lisa,
My hearts breaks for you both! An for little Silas!
Thoughts an prayers are with you both, today an always!!
I have been praying for your family. Casey has
been on my mind since I heard about her. Even
though we haven't seen each other since middle
school basketball and Boone Hoops, I visualize
Casey and my daughter, Kristen, dribbling a
basketball down the court. Kristen was
extremely hurt when I told her. She said Casey
was a great childhood friend and a sweet girl.
I'm quoting Kristen. She really liked Casey.
Casey was kind to Kristen. Kristen said even
though they didn't have any high school classes
together she always had fond childhood memories
of her. Casey's kindness, gentle disposition,
and beautiful smile is what we have in our
hearts. I appreciate these memorable qualities.
Words can't express my heartfelt sadness for
your family. I'm glad we had time with Casey
throughout her childhood. It enriched our
lives. In deepest sympathy, Joni Cox
Jeff, Lisa and Family, May God Bless you and Give you Strength during this time. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your families.
No words for how I feel for you and Lisa Jeff,,just know that Toby and I are thinking of you and you and your family are in our prayers,,Love to you both

Lisa, Jeff and Family,
My heart breaks for you at the sudden loss of your beautiful
daughter Casey. I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I
see you in her Lisa.
There are no words that I can offer, but there are prayers that I
can pray for His grace and His ever-faithful, loving presence to
be more real to you all than you have ever known.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who
are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18 NIV
Much love to you all during this difficult time.

Lisa and family,
I was saddened to hear about Casey. My first thought was
about Casey and Whitney at Mrs. Hoogkamps house and how
little they were and what fun they had together. The years
have passed by but Whitney's first words about Casey was
that was my first friend. Just know that you are in our prayers.

There are no words that can express how very sorry I
am. My thoughts are with you.
