Wood Family, I am so sorry for your loss! Casie truly was the light of the room! She was a precious child and a joy to teach or coach! Thank you for sharing your precious girl with others and my God comfort you and send you His strength! Sincerely, Coach Hays
Zina and family - I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I did not know Casie personnally, I know she must have had a big heart as her mother. You and the family are in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss. Casie was a beautiful spirit. She is truly a child whose outside matched her inside. I never once heard her complain about not being able to do something. She just always worked harder. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God give you the strength to face each new day.
Dear Zina and David: I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could have been at the service. God Bless and keep you during this tragic time. Love, Kristie (Nikkii's daughter)
David, Zina and Brent, I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. Casie was a great person who was very kind hearted and truly cared for others. She was always a model student , a very good friend to all of her classmates and a pleasure to be around. I always admired her great attitude and the fact that having Cystic Fibrosis never slowed her down or made her shy away from a challenge. Her attitude and determination inspired all that knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
My heart breaks for you. I cannot imagine what you are going thru, but it must be like having your heart ripped out. We all know your daughter is better than she's ever been, but that really doesn't feel comforting. Take one day at a time, be mad at God if you need to, then let Him hold you tight and carry you thru every day. She sure looks like her mother! I know it was tremendously helpful to have Raye Nell there for the service. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Zena ; We know this is a rough time for you be assured our thoughts and special prayers are with you and yours.
David, Zina, Uncle Daryl and Tawa, I am so sorry. God be with you all in your time of sorrow and heartbreak. We love you.
I did not know Casie but I do know how much Cookie and Chuck loved her. She will be dearly missed by them. My prayers are with you at the time.

I pray that you find comfort in knowing that the Lord is with you as your hearts begin to heal and that your precious Casie is with HIM. My love to you all! D'Amberly
Casie was a good hearted, sweet spirited person. She had such a kindness that I will definitely miss. It saddens me that she is gone, just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I had the pleasure of having Casie in my lab class. Despite being ill a lot, Casie would keep going. She had a positive outlook and did not give up. She will be greatly missed. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
Zina, David and Brent...From the bottom of my heart, I am deeply sorry that I am not there with you all. I Love you all dearly and I am really hurt that I am not there. Yall are in my prayers through-out the day always. I know how amazing our sweetheart was, She was loved by all and always put a smile on everyone's face. I am so blessed to even know her. Her spirit will go on with us forever bc she has left an everlasting impression on all hearts who knew her. I am a better person because of Casie. She always believed in me and gave me hope. Just when I thought there wasnt a care in the world, she would remind me of the faith she had in me. I wouldn't have been able to move on and away from B.S. if it weren't for her bc she gave me the strength to want a better life for myself. I am barely holding on by a thread...I know that by the grace of God we can all get through this somehow. I know that I cant bring Casie back or heal yall's pain but If yall need anything, please let me or my family know. It would be an honor to help in any way. I know that if any family can get through this that its yall. God bless and I love you all Casie reminds me everyday to live each day to its up most potential because tomorrow is not ever promised. She made all of her friends and family know daily that she loved everyone. Casie, I miss you and wont ever forget you. Thank you for everything. Watch over us. . . I LOVE YOU!
Zina, David and Ms. Carla, Even though we are far away in Fort Worth now, we always try to keep up with our sweet friends in Big Spring. I am so very saddened to hear about Casie. She was so very sweet when we came to get pictures made at home. Our heart breaks for you all. Please know that we are praying for you all, and that God will hold you in His loving embrace until you meet again.
How do you know what you will say, when her family asks, "why was she taken from us this way?" Casi was a treasure that was for sure, and was only given what she could endure! As a brother, a fiance, a friend and a mom & dad, you were her comfort when things seemed so bad! She was a great person that was no doubt, Casi lived her life to the fullest for she knew what it was about. No one is to blame for what happened that day around noon, We had no idea she would be leaving us this soon. Some may think, "God it should have been me!", but he has special plan for you, you will see! Heaven was missing an ANGEL , and he needed her too, She suffers no more, now she can take care of you!
Zina, You are in my prayers. I did not know your Casie, but it looks like all of these tributes describe her as having inherited your sweet spirit. May God comfort you as only He can. With deepest sympathy, Linda K. Stallings
David, Zina, Brent, and Brandon our thoughts and prays are with you. Casie touched so many lives, without knowing. She could lift people up with her always present Angelic Smile and with the kindness and compassion that radiated from her face. She was an example, that perhaps, we all should take a lesson from and follow. She will be missed, but she will be remembered fondly by those who she touched. God Bless you all.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
We love you guys and send our prays and heart felt sorrow for the loss of our little Angel.
We cannot imagine how you are feeling. I know this is an extremely hard time for all of you. Your entire family are in our prayers. We love you and if there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to call. God is with your beautiful daughter and we will see her again some day. Love, Rocky, Sharon, Chris, Julie, Austin and Braxton.
Dear Bobbie, Jerry, Zena, David, Brent, Carla, and Brandon, Words I know can not express the loss your feel right now. She didn't get to tell you goodbye but I'm not sure it would have been any easier if you did get that chance. You can go on and live. Casie would want you to. She lived her live to the fullest, I believe making a difference. That is what she would want for each of you. What a wonderful family you are and I'm so blessed to know you. I pray God's grace be upon you in the days ahead. Morn, then celebrate all the Casie was to each one of you, in her memory. Love, grace and peace, from our family, to yours. Janis
My heart goes out to the whole family. I am so sorry this has happened. Mom and Dad considered Casie as well as Brent their own kids, and loved them as much. Mom always spoke so highly of the family and especially Casie and Brent. I remember when Adam died, Casie came across the street several times to check on Mom and Dad. She truely cared about other people and was 100% heart. She was a beautiful spirit. It just seems wrong she was taken just when her life was blooming fully. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I met her through Shawn and Brandon from the day we spent swimming she seemed very nice!!!!!!!! I am sorry for your lose and you all are in my prayers............ Scotty
Zena, David and Brent There are no word's i can say to heal your pain, I wish there were. Casie was so beautiful inside and out, I look forward to the day I see that smile that brighten's the world again. Casie is the prettiest flower in God's garden. All my love and prayer's Lisa Turner
Dear David, Zina and family, Words fail me as I try and convey my thoughts during this most difficult time in your lives. I pray that our Awesome God shall reach down and hold and embrace you as only HE can do and give you the strength you need during these days. If I can do anything, please let me know and until then, my love and prayers to you all.
I just wanted to tell your family how very sorry I am about Cassie. You all were so special to take Meagan under your wings during such a difficult time and I know the love you have in your hearts. You took care of my baby girl and my heart is saddened by the loss of yours. Each of you will be in my prayers. May you feel God's strength in your time of need. God Bless you. Darleen
Zina and David, I am so sorry for your loss. Casie was a beautiful child, and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet her all those many years ago. I love you and I am here for you.
Zena, David & Carla (extended family) You are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time of losing a child. Hold tight to the Lord's hand and know that we understand your pain and heartache. Jesus will be your strength and help in the days to come. May knowing we care be of some small comfort to you. Our hearts hurt with you.
Casie was such a sweetheart. I was honored to be her fourth grade teacher. David, Zina,and family my prayers are with you. God has a very special angel looking down on us all. She was a sweet child and now a beautiful young lady. May Gods presence be with you during this difficult time.
I am so sorry for what happened and I know she has been missed by me since I left. Nothing can ever replace the love she instilled into my heart or the great times we had. I will forever love her and I will forever think of her just as I have every day since day one.........
Brent I am so sorry over the loss of your sister. She sounds like a wonderful person. Cassie will be one of God's special angels now and will be with you always. Keep all of your wonderful memories of her close in your heart and when you are having a rough day open your heart and let her help you through it. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely Tonya Reese
To David, Zina, and Uncle Daryl I cannot even begin to imagine the hurt and pain you are gong through. God be with you to helpmake sense of it all. I remember the few times I saw her, she was a very freindly beautiful girl that we were all proud to call family and want our kids to turn out like. In her short time here, I am sure she completed the work God had for her and wanted her at home with him and her kinfolk like mamaw and my mama. All I know to say is I love yall.
Though I didn't know very long, I am deeply saddened by her loss. She and I were both in the same class at UTPB and she sat directly in front of me. She never failed to say "hello" or make small talk, always going out of her way to acknowledge me. She will be greatly missed. Your family will be in my prayers.
Zina, I can't begin to understand how hard it must be to lose your precious Casie. My heart breaks to even think about it. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
Casie, You are so beautiful, and always have been. I remember the many days we spend together laughing and smiling. I will never forget the times we got in trouble together. ;) I will also never forget the times I prayed for you and your family as you fought through your CF. Amazingly enough, you never struggled with your illness. You had the bull, girl, and you had it by its horns. Your love for life was so immense, you never seemed to amaze me. You, Casie Elaine, are the one who taught me about friendship, honesty, love, trust, and most of all, loving and living life. Zealous is just not a big enough word. Throughout the years, you were always there for me, no matter how long it had been since we talked. And, I'm sorry we never did get to go to Hunans. Casie, I love ya girl. Always have and always will. I will never ....ever...forget you or the beauty you put into my life. To David, Zina, Brent, Carla: I am so sorry for your loss. I know you all love her so very much, and she will always be with you. For every time you wish you could see her one more time, think of her and she will be there; in your dreams, thoughts, memories. Her beauty burned an image so great in your minds. This is NOT a goodbye, but simply a "see ya later". As you all will meet again. She is in heaven teaching others how to fight like there's no tomorrow. And for those who lost to CF, she is comforting them. God needed her to be a beautiful rose among his garden, and there she will live beautifully forever. My husband and my prayers are with you, always. I love you all.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers will be with you during this time.
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND VIALS OF PRAYERS THAT I HAVE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. MAY GOD GIVE YOU PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING . LOVE IN CHRIST BARBARA BLISSARD.
David & Zina, It was with great saddness that I read of your loss. The loss of a child is that saddest of all I believe. May you draw your strength in these coming days from the Lord and know that there are many people, old and new friends that are praying for you. With Kindest Sympathy Terry Phillips Midland, Texas
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
David / I only met your wonderful daughter one time while with you at the sailing club in Abilene but I will never forget how she touched everyone with her special spark of life / I know you must be devastated / My prayer for you is that your faith in the knowledge that you will see Casie again will sustain you and your family / Gods Peace / Rich
Dear Casie, You will be greatly missed.
David,Zina,and Brent Wood Im so sorry for your loss:Casie was a sweet and beautiful girl,and I am blessed to have known her for as long as I have. Casie you will always be remembered. Love you
Zina, We are holding you close in thought and prayer as you walk through this time. God Bless You - Larry & Debbye ValVerde
Casie will always be remebered as the wonderful, caring, beautiful person that lit up the room. My prayers are with you David, Zina, and Brent. I am so extremely sorry, know that I love you and I have you all in my heart. --Thank you Casie for bringing light into our lives, we miss you.
My sweet little Casie...what could I say about her that everyone didn't already know? Casie and I weren't related by blood or law but I know we were sisters by heart. I love her so much. I am beyond thankful for just knowing her and so blessed to have spent time with her. She always sent me home or wherever I was going with a smile. She and the love of her life Brando were the perfect pair. He treated her like the princess that she was, and who could ask for more for their friend? To Zina, David, Brent, Brando, Amanda, and Carla... I have no fear for our Casie. Because of the wonderful person that she is I know she went straight up skipping all lines and is already watching down on all of us. The lake will never be the same, nor will the Cowboys. Poor Tony Romo is already grieving with his broken finger. :) I will never be the same. Casie made a huge impact on my life, and I know that anyone that was lucky enough to know Casie will never be the same either. A little piece of my heart went with her. I wait for the day when I can see her and we can do all the things we love. I'll never look at sunflowers, potato guns, the Dallas Cowboys, and Kevin Fowler the same again. My family and i will always keep Casie in our hearts. I love you honey!
David, Zina, Brent, and Brandon just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Casie was such an amazing person and a wonderful friend. You guys are right, she was the light of the room any where that she went. She cared for other's always, never putting herself first. You are right Zina the CF did NOT win. She was stronger than that. We love you guys and remember that if you guys need anything we are always here for you. We love you all so much.
Zena, David & Brent, We're so sorry for your loss. I first met all of you in 1992 from being Dr. Schwarz's office nurse . Over the years we've discussed our kids in grade school , sports events,all the way through their high school graduation and starting college. I feel so blessed for getting to know all of you. I admire Casie for being so strong willed and determined not to let her CF keep her from doing the things in life that were important to her. I wish her life hadn't ended so soon because I know she had many more plans and dreams to see through. I hope all the people who had the privilige of knowing Casie and her love for life will remember to live their lives to the fullest. I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling right now and I know all the memories can't take the place of having Casie here on earth with you but I want you to know our hearts are breaking with yours and our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. God Bless Cathi, Rusty, & Dillon
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. I never saw Casie without a smile on her face. I'm blessed to have known her.
Casie was such a sweet and outgoing girl. She was in a good mood everyday all day!! She always had some crazy story to tell me! She was such a strong girl and overcame so much in her short life. She will be greatly missed. I pray for her families strength and comfort during this tragic time.
Zina, I cannot even imagine your pain at the loss of your beautiful daughter. She was a fighter and a beautiful young woman. May God lift you up and hold you close in your time of sorrow. Ellen Phillips
Casie was such a wonderful, fun, outgoing person to be around! She will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with you.
Casie, You were a blessing to everyone that you came into contact with. When you walked in a room everyone just couldnt help but be happy. You were always there for your friends when any of us needed you and never thought of yourself first. We have truley lost a great person and friend. You will be missed so much. I know that you will be watching over all of us and the cowboys (LOL)!! We love you so much and miss you so much!!! Love you girl!!!!
What a wonderful person!!! Our prayers are with Brandon and her family and friends. We will always remember the times we had with her and will always wish for more. Jack and Donna

Our deepest sympathy for the family and friends. We only meet Casie once but remember her well.
Zina, David, and Brent...Casie was an AMAZING PERSON!! She touched everyones life she came into...she will be missed dearly. She was a good friend and a great person. She always cared about other people first. She was always such a fighter...May all the wonderful memories give you strength. I love you all!!
Casie was an amazing person, she was such a fighter and was determined to make the most of her life and she did. She will be greatly missed. Our deepest thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Casie, High spirited never let anything get in her way of her dreams or goals. Admired by many, and a great role model that anything is possible. Keep your head up, was not a quiter always a fighter! You will be missed very much!
Zina, David and Brent I know they are no magic words to make all of you feel any better right now. But please know...that Casie was such a special person in my life and I feel so blessed to have spent three wonderful years twirling with her. Her lasting legacy is we should all live life they way she did.....she will be greatly missed. Love all of you guys. Love Haley

Zina I do not know what to say except I love you and she is with you everywhere.I am so sorry I love you!!! I love you!!
David, Zina and Brent, Words can not explain how very sad we were when I heard about Casie. It seems like yesterday that she and Brian were toddlers and we visited about them when I would see you at the Mall. It has been a few years since we have seen you guys but please know you and your entire family are in our prayers. Tammy and Freddie Watt
Casie, I have no clue what this world is going to be like without you. I love you so much. You were always there whenever I needed you, night or day. I loved our wine nights, watching Friends together, Cowboys games, lake trips, our hot damn shots, countless concerts and parties that we always attended together. You were such a light in my life and a rock for me to hold on to. You knew exactly how to make someone smile. You were such a charming, loving, caring and warm girl. You never let anything get in your way and you were the strongest girl I've ever known. You loved your family and friends so much..."I'm a lover not a fighter, but I'll fight for what I love" was your saying....and you did fight for the ones you loved. I don't know how I'm going to raise my girls without their Aunt Casie around...you loved them so much and they loved u back. Kaedyn keeps saying "I want Casie" when she sees your pictures, and it's breaking my heart. Baby girl I love you so much. Words will never be able to express how much you mean to me or the impact that you had on my life. I'm so upset that you didnt get to have your wedding. Brando, he loves you so much. ya'll were so perfect for each other. I was so happy to finally see you were truly happy. He brought out such a beautiful glow in you. It was beautiful seeing the two of you together. Casie, I wish I could wrap my arms around you one more time and tell you that I love you. I know I'll see you again. Save a spot for me...with a glass of wine waiting for us. You were amazing and I love you always and forever.
So sorry to hear of your loss. She was a terrific, inspiring young lady who overcame so much to do so much....a wonderful role model for any young person. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Roxie, Melody and Kyle
Zina, David, and Brent: I don't even know where to begin to describe what a great impact that Casie had on my life. I know I only knew her for a short time, but she changed my life for the better. She made me want to be a better person. I am so blessed that I got to become her classmate, her roomie, and her friend. She was so much more to me than just a friend, she was family. She always knew exactly what to say when I was having a bad day. She was so selfless. She always put other people first. I have so many great memories in just the year I got to know her. I will truely miss her, but she will never be forgotten. I love you Casie Lou! You will always be in my heart.
I cannot even begin to start explaining how much I love and and how much I miss you. I am just totally blown away. I cannot even begin to try and think that you are really gone. Shiloh and I are so lost right now...the POSSE is incomplete physically but NEVER will be in our hearts...we do not even know what to do. You were like sister to us Casie. We were thinking about all the wonderful times we had together and how much we are going to MISS you! I have tried a thousand times pinching myself and hoping this is all a nightmare. Remember all the fun times at The Goat? Hooters and Peters? TX Roadhouse? Chili's? And so many more. No matter what we did, it was ALWAYS so much fun because you were the life of the group! I will never forget our first year of X-Ray school...all the pain and torment we went through...haha! I know that you are laughing up there while you think of "you know who". Like you always said, "no matter where you are or where you go, we WILL always be best friends!" I know that you know I LOVE you and going to miss you so much. Words cannot even describe. You will always be in my heart. ALWAYS AND FOREVER WE WILL BE, BEST OF FRIENDS YET TO BE. Rest in peace "you lint licker!" I love you my Casie Lou!
i cant believe your gone. you will be missed. thanks for being a great friend.
Casie---a friend, a classmate, a fighter... You were such a great friend. No matter where we were in life, you cared...about everyone! We have been friends for so long, from kindergarten to high school and beyond. I can't believe you are gone. I remember all the sleepovers, singing at the top of our lungs, dancing our hearts out and playing pool; that was usually pretty typical of our sleepovers. Oh, and pizza! Your life was so inspirational. You always fought so hard and never ever let anyone or anything get in your way. We have laughed and cried together and I will never ever forget you. I have so many wonderful memories to remember you by. Thank you for being a part of my life. You truly made a difference, not only to me, but to everyone that ever knew you. I love you…always.
She was such a sweet and very nice person! you will be greatly missed!
Zina, David, Brent, Bobbie Ruth and family: There are no words to express our sympathy for your loss. Our families have known each other all our lives and the loss of your sweet Casie is heartbreaking. Know that we carry ya'll forever in our hearts and you are in our thoughts and prayers always. We love you so very much....Ronda & Bobbi
Vibrant and free-spirited, beautiful and loving..That was my Casie. I have yet to believe that you are gone. I am so thankful to God that he allowed me to have the opportunity to have you in my life, I just can not phathom why he took you from me. I was not through being your friend. I moved to Seattle with the understanding that I would see you and that contagious spirit again soon, and now my sweet friend, you are gracing those angels in heaven with your smile and presence. I can just imagine the celebrating going on there because you are the newest addition to those angels. I love you and thank you for touching my life with all that you were, Casie; For never once putting doubt in my mind that you were and will always be one of my greatest friends. Sleep in peace, I will see you again one day.
Casie was such a selfless person, always putting other before herself, and never letting her illness get in the way of her living her life. The world is less of a place now without her. However she will be forever in the hearts of those who love her.
Skydra and I will miss you dearly. We love you and will be praying for your family.
casie was such a fighter...she lived with cf for such a long time, she always told me i prayed for her to much, but i loved her. lol she always said i was her prayer warrior... everyone that came into contact with her just had to fall in love with her...she was an amazing person. we were friends for fourteen years...she will always have a piece of my heart and she will be greatly missed.

Your Casie and my daughters, Leticia and Alicia Rodriguez, were friends. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious angel. I know that words may not be enough to console or explain the pain you are feeling. I understand and feel your pain as I have had to walk the same path when we lost Leticia two years ago. Please know that our angels are together; guiding us through our “new” journey. I found a poem that I keep close and would like to share with you and your family. Remember Me By Debbie Ann To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated. But to the happy, I am at peace. And to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot speak, but I can listen. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So as you stand upon a shore, Gazing at the beautiful sea Remember me. As you look in awe at a mighty Forest and its grand majesty Remember me Remember me in your heart, your Thoughts and your memories – Of the times we cried, the times we loved, And the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never have gone. My deepest condolences to you and your family, Annette Hernandez-Nesbit
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
