Cassandra and I went to Winona together. She was one of my really goood friends. We just clicked. I always remember her smiling and making jokes. She was always such a kind hearted sweet girl and I wish we stayed friends into adulthood. My thought and prayers are with her family in these hard times. Rest in peace Cassandra ❤️

First I would like to give my deepest sympathies to Cassandra's family during this time. I can't imagine what you are going through right now and am keeping you in my prayers. Cassie, I am so saddened by all this. It doesn't seem real. I'm going to miss you so much. You had such a soft voice and always would lighten the mood.  A beautiful soul, I'm so happy I got to be your friend. You supported me through some difficult times and I'm grateful I had you by my side. I'll never forget our deep conversations about life, and all the sound advice you gave. My heart hurts thinking about one of our last conversations. Some of my best memories are with you and I'll forever cherish those moments. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life. I'll never forget you, love you always.

Man this breaks my heart to even see, Sandra i knew you from 8 years old, we were tight friends for a long time ive stayed and slept over your house many times as kids i probably was apart of your family at some point in other peoples eyes, we've walked to your house from school so many times and only once we hit high school did we kinda stop speaking as much as before, i cannot explain how much this is hurting my heart and for those who know me especially when i was younger would understand why my heart is in literal tears, my day one ❤️ mcmurrich knights from day one, REST IN PARADISE CASS

My family has lived on the same street with the Giardino family for as long as I can remember. My children grew up with Cassandra as well as her siblings (David and Chyanne) and her cousins (Jordan, Aaron and Andre). When we heard of her passing, my son Tyrell and I sat and reminisced about fond memories that he had about Cassandra. There were so many. There was something so special about her. She had a twinkle in her eyes. She had a soft and gentle nature about her. Even as an adult, when I would visit my mom and I would see her, she was never too busy to stop and say hello. She will surely be missed! For Christine, Mike, David, Chyanne and the rest of your family, may God continue cover you with His loving arms and guide you through your grief.  May Cassanda rest in eternal peace!

My dearest friend, my soul sister. Words cannot describe the complete love I have for you. Ever since the day we met wayyy back in elementary we’ve been inseparable. You are literally the coolest girl Ive ever known, so pure honest and genuine. What made you so beautiful was your heart and your style! Always the flyest in the room ! I’m so use to you just being a call away in any situation. Whenever I felt down you spoke words of wisdom to me. And whenever I was happy you were even happier for me. Your laugh still echos in my thoughts and I still see that adorable face and smile every time I close my eyes. I love you so much, always and forever best friend. A bond like ours is eternal, until we meet again.

First and foremost, my deepest condolences to Christine and the kids and the rest of the family. This is a horrible loss that I cannot even still believe. I can’t fathom the pain and loss you’re experiencing. Cass was a very special woman who cared deeply and was very passionate about her values and views. I’m going to miss her deeply. I love you Cass.

I am so, so, sorry for your loss!! Throughout the years, Cassandra showed up to many of our family events. I can't remember a moment where she wasn't smiling. She was so supportive and kind. My brother and our family are mourning the loss of this beautiful young lady. I will always remember Cassandra! Always in my thoughts and prayers!

Angelo (Cassandra's Little Cousin)
Cassandra meant more to me than just a cousin; she was one of the closest things to a big sister I'll ever have. My heart is filled with love and respect for her. The anticipation of her visits brought excitement, knowing that when she walked through our door, the house would echo with laughter and the creation of lasting memories. Your presence could light up a room. Cassandra, the realization that I won't see you again is hard to accept, and honestly I'm still numb to it all. I'll forever wait for the next moment of laughter and the chance to share a hug with you. Until then, I hope to meet you in my dreams. You took a piece of my heart when you left, and I want you to know that you will never be forgotten. I love you Cassandra, forever and always.

Christine (Cassandra's Momma)
I have no words for what I'm feeling right now, I still can't imagine what our lives will be like going forward without her. Losing you is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with, I'm broken into a million pieces and not sure how I'm gonna put them back together again. My Cassandra was beautiful inside and out. She had a heart of gold, always thoughtful, forgiving, caring about other people's feelings and lives. Having her is when my life truely began, she saved my life, she made me change into a better person, having her pushed me to accomplish so much more cause I wanted nothing but the best for her. I found a joy that I didn't know could exist and strength that I didn't know I had. I thank God for making me your Mom. Love you forever,
