Dear Cascio Family
I’m sorry for your loss. It also breaks my heart to see him go this way. It is so incredibly sad. I understand the struggles of addiction. I’ve only known him a couple of years but he was a good kid.

Dear Jim and Kim,
Jeanne and I are so saddened to hear of your heart-wrenching loss.   Yes, as you write, death hath lost its sting because our Maker, Redeemer, and Friend is not defeated by any disease, and He who “who heals all our diseases” has given ultimate healing to your wonderful son.  We are praying so much for you as you feel this painful separation.  
Yours in Christ,
David and Jeanne Jackson

Dear Cascio family,
We are very sad to hear of Kevin’s passing. We remember Kevin and your family from when we were neighbors and fellow Schaeffer Gator students and families. Kevin was always such a cute and sweet little boy. I hope you are comforted by happy memories of Kevin and all of his wonderful qualities, listed in his beautifully written obituary. Sorry to the Stoltz family also for the loss of a nephew and cousin. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted by the love of family and friends at this most difficult time. Sincerely, Cindy, Mike, Emily and Sarah Butz

We were so sad to see the news of Kevin’s passing.  We hate the disease of addiction and that it could take a young man that had many God-given gifts.  We was blessed to have known Kevin through our Celebrate Recovery Program and were so happy when he joined us at our home the other year for our annual picnic.   Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, James and Kimberly.  Having a 21 year old son ourselves, we can’t imagine the sadness you must be feeling.  But your Kevin is now with your Lord and smiling that wonderful smile of his…pain-free and struggle-free.  Many prayers coming your way

Though I don’t know your family and did not know Kevin, I felt compelled to write you a condolence.  My heart breaks for your family, and I know you must be in quite a lot of pain over the loss of your dear son.  I too have a son who has had the same addiction issues, also for a number of years. The courage that it must have taken to honestly write the reason for Kevin’s death in his obituary is overwhelming to me and I admire your strength and fortitude.  Your eloquent expression of your love and respect for your son truly touched me, and I too felt grief for your loss.  Prayers for your family.  Kristen

Dear Grieving Family,
I do not know any of you, nor Kevin, but I want to commend you for the way his obituary was written and published.  I can only pray that more families would face this issue, and it’s costs, so lovingly.  You have endured the nightmare so many of us who have loved ones in addiction live with.  My heart goes out to you regarding the loss, and the promise, of this talented young man.

A beautiful tribute to your beautiful boy. As the parent of a heroin addict, I understand and my heart cries for you. I am truly sorry for your loss. I commend you for your honesty and hope it will open some hearts and minds to the needs of our young addicts. I wish love and peace to all that loved Kevin.

June 26, 2015

I do not know your family but my heart breaks for you. Thank you for being so real in the journey you have been on in the past eight years. May you being honest in the loving way your words were written,help even one person caught in addiction. May God grant you the peace and grace in the days and years ahead and remember with joy the great attributes of your son that you shared with us all. God will be with you
Blessings

So sorry for your loss, Kevin sounds like he was a wonderful man. And thank you immensely for having the courage to let others know what took him….. we need more families to take this step as a reminder to those still suffering that they are not invincible. …. God Bless.

I am so sorry for your loss. Kevin will be greatly missed. I had the privilege of working with him at LFF. His smile always brightened my day. I will never forget the smile on his grandfather’s face the day he brought Kevin’s shoes to work and I thought he was his father. He talked all the time about his grandparents and always with a smile on his face. Rest in Peace Kevin until we meet again in Heaven.

I have never met Kevin or any of your family.  My reason for writing is to offer my condolence for your loss.  Your obituary brought tears to my eyes.  I have a son that fights substance issues that at times are life threatening.  I could have been reading his obituary as he sounds like the same person.  Your thoughts are an inspiration to all those faced with such issues.  
May your life without your child be as rewarding in some manner as your memories with him.  God bless.

We are heartbroken with you at Kevin’s passing after such a long struggle. Michelle had been in contact with him at times and he was so supportive to her. Please know that you are all in our prayers. This is something that those of us with loved ones caught in addiction face every day, and only with the supporting arms of our heavenly Father can we survive to tell our stories. If you need to talk with someone who is walking in it now, you can reach me at any time ( Deb – 682-5131)  In much love, Deb and Joe Mauro

Good morning Cascio family:
You do not know me personally, but I had to write and tell you how touched I was with the tribute in the morning paper.  It breaks my heart to know what your family is going through and has gone through for the past 8 years.  I will be praying for your family.
