Yesterday
Yesterday was Cassandra’s funeral in Gallup, NM. It was an uplifting remembrance of Cassandra, with a traditional Navajo burial on her Uncle Edison’s ranch, in a stunningly beautiful clearing amongst the sage and oak alongside her brother, Cyrus. The ceremony, to me, was about Cassandra’s spirit being alive forever in each and every person with whom she ever made acquaintance. I know that all of her hard work and dedication to multiple passions and causes will be carried on by many who knew and loved her or were inspired by her very determination to simply make this world a better place. I can’t wait to see all of the good yet to come. We may no longer see Cassandra’s smiling face, but will recognize her lovely spirit in all of the world’s goodness and beautiful wonders.
As Sam and I headed to Phoenix after Cassandra’s service, we were heading into one of the most mesmerizing sunsets I have seen in a long while. Thanks, Cassandra.
Sam and I send all of our love to family and friends.

As many of you know, we tragically lost a dear member of our family this week, Jason’s wife, Cassandra. Since the kids are in the hospital in Denver, with Dad staying vigilant, things have been hectic, but the good news is that all three of the kids are stable and family and friends have been overwhelmingly supportive. We wanted you to know that we’ve set up a website which will serve as an informational page about Cassandra’s funeral, as well as a place to make donations to the family and to connect family and friends who wish to attend the funeral and would like to carpool. We also invite you to share photos and stories of the Cassandra we all know and love.

Any words of love & encouragement for Jason, Noah, Amada, and Dante would be more than welcomed as they heal, also for Alicia and David who were thankfully uninvolved in the accident.
