Rest In Peace. Our Love Is Strong

On the day of Friday March 20th, 2009... a friend of mine was taken away
before anyone had a say so in it. Cassie Marie Gibson, 15, was born on
March 21st, 1993. The day before her 16th birthday she decided she had
had enough. She took her own life by a hanging. Everyone who had ever
known her was devastated. She had gotten into a confrontation with a
friend of hers over her recent ex-boyfriend in the cafeteria that Friday after
noon, and that was the last most of us saw of her. She was sent home soon
after lunch was over. From what Ive gathered she had gotten her phone
taken away from her granny. Later on in the evening she tried to get her
brother to let her use the house phone, but he said no. She might have been
trying to reach out to someone... we don't know for sure. She was one of the
happiest person I personally have ever met and its going to be difficult to
get over her and get used to her not being around anymore. She livened up
everyone's day that she came in contact with and we have so many memories
with her. She will never be forgotten and will always be with us. She loved her
cows and Elmo. When everyone went home that Friday we figured the usual,
Cassie would go home, blow off some steam, and be back on Monday to talk
about it. But that Saturday morning, almost everyone got some sort of notice
that Cassie, had killed herself the night before. Her brother was the one that
found her. From my eyes, her life was perfect. Something had to trigger that
happiness and let out her uncontrollable rage that sent her spiraling down
so low that she would write a note and then do that. It takes a lot of guts for
that. She was the loudest person I knew and she was brutally honest but
honest none the less. We all love and miss you and if I could, I would trade
with you. We just want you back and nothing will be the same. I miss the most
your bright and smiling face followed by your loud and obnoxious laugh that
everyone loves. Everyone loved everything about you. Our pain will never go
away and we will miss you forever. And we know if you could, you would beat
the crap out of everyone that has cried and grieved over you. Cassie if you can
see this or hear any of our prayers, we miss you so much you have no clue
and you never will. I don't know what was going threw your head but I wish you
would have not done this or waited to talk to someone about it. As you were
escorted out of the lunch room, we never thought we would come back Monday
and be writing R.I.P. Cassie everywhere. We've cried and cried and we will until
we cant anymore over you. You were a great person with so much potential
and thats whats so sad. You could do anything if you put your mind to it and
thats what I loved about you. I hope you can watch over us all and make sure
we are safe. You meant a lot to us. Ever since the first time I met you, you
wanted to turn 16 so you could get your license and drive away. But that will
never happen now. Thats one reason why it was so hard to understand why you
did this to yourself. I think it would have been easier to cope with if someone
else would have done this, but you did this to yourself. 1 day away from turning
16. So close, and now you can never come back. Your pain is over but all of us
are just beginning to feel it. If there's ever a way, please, come back to us Cassie.
It will never be the same and everything will remind us of you. There's so much
more I could say but I don't think I can go on. Rest In Peace, Cassie Marie.
