my Momma Cass

I was three years old when my mother joined the Apostolic Christian Church. I have no idea if Cass was a part of it or not, but the only memories I have are with her and about her. She was 'big' in every sense of the word. She loved music and teaching it - every chance she got! I babysat for Cass and Nathan and cleaned house and cooked. . . .their son Benjamin was born on my birthday! When I started singing in the choir, it was Cass that found out that I was a soprano. . . .but I loved singing the alto parts. And, when we were at the church on 7th St., I was a part of a small group that did a sign language song. My mom did sign language during the services and I thought that it was cool to have another way to communicate. We even taught momma Cass some of the sign language.

To Leah, Nathan, Joseph, Benjamin and Micah - and Naa and Ashley - you have a big beautiful family - one that extends almost all boundaries. Please, if you need something. . .even if it is just a shoulder to cry on, please call. Of this I am sure - anyone who knew your Mom, loved her tremendously, not limited to just me. . . . . I love you too.

Momma Cass - until we meet again. . . . .
