Cassie, you have encouraged me so! I, too am a 9 and 3 yr cancer survivor. Both Melanoma(2002,age 32) and breast cancer(2008,age 38). I too have served the Lord my entire life, so I have felt those same feelings of frustration and questioning, "why me", also that horrible feeling of "losing my hair", I have learned so much from this journey. Mostly how to go through the "fire" and come out without the smell of smoke! We are here to bring glory to God in all things! Praising God with you!

Hi Cassie, your new song is beautiful! I remember the day you came to Freedom Life Church on Fire and shared your testimony with us. I have lost many loved ones to cancer. Thank you for being so open with us and sharing what you have been though. Your testimony is encouragement for many! God bless you and your family! We love you!

Cassie, I think it was a bit of Divine Providence that "introduced" me to you, you were in the background of a beautiful video from the quartet conference and someone asked who you were. The way you connected to the song in the video, Hold On, and the way you connected to the artist, the late Tony Greene, I knew you had a story. I myself have had 3 heart procedures since the age of 14, 5 spine surgeries since the age of 21. Your music and this song touched me deeply. Be assured of my prayers!!:)

Cassie, I have known you since you were a small child. You have had trials and troubles but through that God has moved you in a mighty way. Does that make the trials and troubles easier-NO!! Do not ever forget that GOD IS FAITHFUL!! I love you girl-God truly has a call on your life!
