POSITIVITY
While most 6 year-olds are worried about the boogie man and the things that go bump in the night, Cassidy was in the fight of her life. With the support and love of her parents, sister, brother and friends, this brave 8 year survivor showed us just who was boss. Now 14, and a great role model for her younger siblings, Cassidy is on her way to becoming a beautiful dancer, shining her inner light for all to see, in her daily life and on stage.
“God only gives this battle to people he knows can handle it. ”

STRENGTH
After numerous tests, countless surgeries and every “professional” telling her she wasn’t going to make it coupled with a terminal diagnosis, Pam made the decision to prove them all wrong . For the past 6 years with her daughter Mies at her side, her Boo & her beloved canine Odin at her feet, Pam has spoken on behalf of this rare and sometimes conflicting cancer. A speaker with the American Cancer Society and a member of the Livestrong Program at the YMCA, Pam doesn’t take anything or anyone she has met for granted. Her life is amazing and she lives it to the fullest.

TRANSITION
Life is just a series of transitions. Cathy's dad loved transitions and while they are often hard to make, sometimes there is an amazing adventure waiting for you. Cathy's dad transitioned quickly, 52 weeks from when they knew, he passed on to what she hoped was another adventure for him. He taught her to surround herself with those who love her. People may come and go, it's OK to let go. Hold on to the ones who matter while they are here, and honor their memory when they're gone.

It is this voice of faith Rebecca's mom adopted and lived by until her passing.
Today it is the motto that Rebecca lives by, as her family grows closer each and every day.
