Condolences to the Family

I thank my sister, Jane, for including me in the condolence that she wrote.  I want to add that Cass lived well her Catholic faith.  Cass enjoyed the blessings of this life but also looked forward to the day that Jesus would call her home to be united with God and her family and friends.  I don’t know if there is pinochle in heaven, but if there is, she is sitting at the table and playing her best game.
Father Daniel Mitzel

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Cass, one of the best pinochle players we knew.  Cass spoke lovingly of all of you. She will forever be fondly remembered by John, Fr. Dan and me for her love of the game as well as her jovial tutoring and tasty snacks.  To T.M.I. Cass, we miss you.
