We have lost a wonderful lady. I am the cafe manager at Sunny Heights & she would come in every day and say hello to me & my other ladies. Thank us each day for what we do. I feel honored to have known her. Thinking of her family at this time. It is just not fair. We just have to hold on to our wonderful memories of her. Take care of each other & RIP our friend.
Fred says
Right now, when your loss is so fresh, it may be difficult for you to imagine that this pain will ever go away. But in time the blessing of God’s unfailing love will soften the hurt you’re feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort and hope that it needs to heal. How? Revelation 21:4 tells us that soon everything that causes us pain, including death, will be gone forever. We also have the hope of our loved ones being resurrected here on a paradise earth, as Acts 24:15, Luke 23:43 tells us. I do hope you find comfort in this.
Though I did not know your Cassi, she sound like a beautiful person. I am touched by your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. (JW.org).

I was a classmate of Cassi’s growing up. Thinking of all in the days ahead. May you always be comforted by the memories you shared. I’ll be praying for you all.
Michelle says
My heartfelt condolences to the Wykes family. May your family find comfort in knowing that Cassi is safe in the memory of God who will remember every detail about her and bring her back again. (John 11:25) I am truly sorry for your loss.
With deepest sympathy,
Michelle

I will hold my memories of Cassi close to my heart. She was a wonderful friend and coworker. Cassi always put kids (her own and the students of Warren Township) first in all that she did. I will miss you my dear friend!
Joan Kjeldsen says
We have lost a very lovely lady. I worked with Cassi @ Sunny Heights and always enjoyed hearing her laugh – you couldn’t help but smile! Cassi always thanked me at the end of the day and asked if there was anything she could do for me before we left; she was always thinking of others. I truly will miss her immensely and will always remember her and her love for family, students and staff. Thinking of her family at this time. Rest in peace, Cassi!
Joyce says
Even though I did not know Cassi personally, I knew her through her husband Wendon. Wendon has been my right hand worker at my home and farm for several years.
He always spoke of Cassi with great, great love, affection and admiration for her many accomplishments and dedication to her children
(both at home and at her job). She leaves a deep void in many people’s hearts that will never be replaced.
Wendon, Noah, Jonah, and Lucy please know you are forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Keeping Cassi’s loved ones close in my mind and heart today. My heart aches at the loss of such a wonderful woman. I will always appreciate and never forget her constant support and friendship. She was the best Dean that I have ever worked with and no one could match her passion, compassion, and dedication to “her babies” at Sunny Heights. My life, and all the lives of those honored to know her, will forever be changed. Our world feels a lot less bright without her. We are missing her always and will be forgetting her never. My heart aches that I cannot be there in body today, but please know that I am there in mind and spirit.
