Thank you all


I would like to thank every single one of you for your thoughtful care and continued support throughout the years.

In the past five to six months, Cassidy had been greatly cheered, in her most difficult time, with your personal visits, encouraging words, tiny do-it-yourself artwork, the FEARLESS paintings and many many other small presents that you sent over. The responses and comments left by friends and many individuals whom we do not know personally have touched us deeply. I will never forget her smile whenever she saw you in her room or received all your generous gifts. All these had made this most painful period of Cass' life a lot more bearable for her and our whole family, encouraged and cheered her greatly and for that I'm forever grateful.

As you may know, one of Cassidy's dreams was to be involved with the upcoming Para PanAm Games. Even though she has now left us, I would like to help her to accomplish her dream. While the details has not been finalized yet, we are setting up a memorial scholarship for para-athletes, an account has been set up to accept donations from those who would like to support such cause. Please feel free to visit her blog for more information and updates . At this moment, we are spending most of our time tending to Cassidy's burial and packing up Cassidy's belongings, though we still find it extremely difficult for us to start reading her journals. May God grant us the peace and courage to start the new chapter in our life and in remembering our beloved daughter.

Your presence, words and acts are like a rainbow that beautifies the sky and enlightens our minds after one long stormy night. We would like to sincerely thank you all again for your never ending support and hope that you will continue to be with us in making Cassidy's dreams come true.
