I was blessed to meet Mrs."Babe" Cassidy somewhere around 1984 - 1985 when we were 12 or 13 after meeting her daughter Kim in Middle School in Gainesville, FL. One day my mom meets Babe only to find out that my mom worked with Babe's dad at Vizcaya in Miami, FL. Small world but God brings us all together.
I have so many wonderful fond memories of the Cassidy family and Babe. Mr. and Mrs. Cassidy took Kim and I (Kenny too) to my first concert when we were 15 or 16 years old. They drove us in their van down to Tampa for a headliner tour with Whitney Houston, Huey Lewis and the News and more and we laughed endlessly.They had a special surprise pool party cookout for my 16th birthday. Babe would make us lunch or dinner. Hanging out with them was such a blessing. So many family get togethers and special moments that I cherish. All of the events around weddings and showers and babies and birthdays and anniversaries and sadly Mr. Cassidy's passing.
I have many pictures of Babe but they are in boxes. Babe is a special and precious sweet lady. God Bless the Cassidy family as you mourn her passing. We wish we could be there with you in person, we are in spirit. Praying for all of you. Love, Laurie Johnson (Alpharetta, GA)
