My heart goes out to Casey's family at this time of sorrow.  Esther (casey's mother) is part of our healthplex family and we know what a truly loving relationship this mother and daughter had.  I wish you a peaceful heart and that you feel the love we are sending to you Esther.  We will keep Rasheed in our prayers also.

We are so saddend to hear of Miss Casey's passing. She was such a nice, loving and generous person. She was my Daughter Karlee's teacher for level 4 play on Thursdays.  I remember the first time we met her, Karlee was a little nervous because she had a new teacher from her previous level.  Miss Casey got down to Karlee's level, spoke so softly and gently to her and reassured her that it's okay to be a little scared.  Karlee got a big smile on her face and leaped into Miss Casey's arms and gave her a big hug! I can't tell you how great that made me feel as a Mom and how special she made Karlee feel. She had a gift of making each child feel special. She will forever be missed. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to her family, Gymboree family, friends and every who had the pleasure of knowing Miss Casey. May God bless you all during this difficult time. 

Love,
The Chapman Family 

My heart goes out to Casey's mother Esther, and also to Rasheed.

Although I didn't know Casey, I work with Esther and know of her great love for her daughter and grandson.   I can see how Esther's wonderful qualities of joy and love and caring were passed on to Casey. 

With deepest sympathy,

I met Ms. Casey when my son was going to Gymboree (we also had the honor to meet her beautiful son Rasheed).  She was such a bright light - always smiling and the kids (including my son) absolutely adored her.  She will be missed.

Ms. Casey taught my daughter Elsa for over two years. Ms. Casey was so wonderful with children and she will be so missed. She is singing with the angels now and she and her family are lifted up in prayer. God bless you and be with you all.

Casey: i hope u know u were rasheeds left rib and inspiration in life. U made him a better man and u brought him happiness and peace. Ive known u for ten years or maybe more then that and u have been one of the most self-less and caring person i have known. You are the true meaning of happiness no mater the situation u seen a positive out of it. Words cant explain how much everyone missees u its so sudden and devastating. Just to let u know i will do everything in my power for my godson lil rasheed. I hope u are resting in peace. With Love Rezz!

It feel like it was just yesterday when we wehre in High school we had art class togather the minute you walked thrue the door you lighten up the room. I remmber you enjoyed drawing such a good artest not only that but you where so out going and a happy person you had a kind heart . I loved the fact that the Casey you saw that's who you wore and that made you, younique and so glad to have known... you will for ever be in my memory & my heart. May you ....RIP we didn't loose you, we gained an ANGEL






My payers and thought go out the family

Miss Casey was an amazing person - an amazing presence at Gymboree.  Our daughter, Brighid, was in Miss Casey's class during this past year.  Brighid LOVED Miss Casey.  Her eyes would light up, when we drove up and I took her out of her carseat because she KNEW exactly where we were going.  The minute I opened the door to the play area, Brighid's eyes would dart around the room until she found Miss Casey - and then she would get over to where she was as fast as she could.

And then Miss Casey would say "Brighid!!", as if she was the only child in the room.  Except that Miss Casey made every child feel like the most special child in the room.  It was just her way...

What a gentle, beautiful, amazing soul.  We were so blessed to have known her.  She touched our lives in so many ways.

We wish peace and healing for her family.
