Casey did her Make-A-Wish Trip. She chose to go to Disneyworld in Orlando Florida.
She couldnt go on very many rides but I remember her looking at me with excitment at the parks, and telling me she was enjoying watching her little sisters having fun.
Casey graduated from Johnston Community High school in Blank Childrens Hospital. I am as proud of her now as I was then.
We are all so proud of Casey's accomplishments.
Casey's friends at Johnston High School held a memorial service for her. They presented me a box of their favorite memories with Casey.
They also planted a tree , a golden elm tree because she had a heart of gold , a tree with real personality. Just like Casey.
They also put a bench by her tree in memory of her. Sometimes her tree and bench get decorated for the holidays by friends & teachers , and others for her angelversary.
This spring (2013) I hope to put a flat plaque with her name on it between the tree and the bench so everyone knows whose tree it is for years to come.
In honor of what should have been Casey's 20th birthday we (friends, and family) made and donated 20 blankets to our local hospice in memory of Casey.
In 2013 for what should have been her 21st we will be doing 21.
