Dear Anne, Patty, Lynne and Albert and Albert - I am so sorry to hear about Casey. I have such fond memories of him gardening and taking care of his fish in Chadds Ford. Best of all I loved the rainbow he painted in Patty and Lynne's bedroom. I always admired Casey's sense of humor and his sense of calm and peace no matter how many of us were running around the house! It was an honor to know him. With much Love, Caroline

Dear Anne, Patty, and Lynne,
I am so sorry to hear about Casey....I have so many memories from the years we lived in Chadds Ford, especially with Casey being outside working with his flowers, playing cards with my parents in the evenings, having his time on the back patio in the evenings, and putting up with all of us Fichtner kids as we were growing up! Your husband/father will be fondly remembered. The four of us Moores are praying for you as you go through this difficult time of grief. We love you!

When 'Sorry' is Inadequate
Dear Debiak/Sardella Family and all extended family members,
I know you are grieving the loss of such a dear man, father, grandfather, husband. Nothing can cushion your sadness, but please know I'll always remember Casey as a wonderfully gentle, warm man. You are all lucky to call him family.
I wish each of you warm memories and the strength to get through this by holding on to each other.
Terri Welsh
Casey
Dear Mrs. Debiak, Patty and Lynnie: We all share in your grief because we all know what a truly one-of-a-kind person Casey was. He sure did live a life full of love. It was kind of odd being so happy to see familiar faces at the Mass yet feeling the sadness for your loss.
Love You,
Maureen
