I prayed so hard for you sir that you would pull through by some miracle, but God had wanted you more. My most heartfelt sympathies go to the Cassidy family. You can be so proud to know your father/husband was a true hero. Thank you for letting us have him to protect us all these years.

I offer my most sincere condolences...to the wife and children of Officer Cassidy...as well as...to his extended family...friends...and fellow officers.

Today is All Souls Day...and yesterday was All Saint's Day...and in the midst of these two very special feast days...I believe...that God must have welcomed Officer Cassidy home...with open arms.

May God's perpetual light...shine upon the soul of Officer Charles Cassidy...and may he rest in His eternal peace... for having made the ultimate sacrifice...in protecting and serving his community...for so many years.

I am sorry that this family will have to continue on without their loved ones physical presence...but he will always be just a thought...memory...or heartbeat away...he is not lost to you...he is with God...and someday you all will be reunited again.

I pray...that God gives this family...the graces needed...in coping with their grief...during this most sad...and difficult time.

May God bless you and your loved one.

With my deepest sympathy,

Officer Cassidy was a hero in the truest sense of the word.Our police are our blue angels and they are the only thing that stands between evil and us. They are our protectors and there isn't enough money that these people can be paid for putting their lives on the line every time they go to work. My prayers are that Officer Cassidy is now one of God's police officers looking down and watching over his family. And I pray that the Lord watches over and brings peace to Officer's Cassidy family.May God be with the Cassidy family.
