Casey was a Pure Gift, a loving and caring spirit, sent but for a wisp of time by an All- Wise Creator as an immeasurable blessing on the lives of those who were privileged to know her. So smart and inquisitive—a second grader who read at the third-grade level, an avid worker of Sudoku puzzles –Casey was truly gifted in many, many ways. Her creative imagination showed through her artwork and written stories.
Mischievous like her father, Casey was adventurous and willing to try most anything. She was a petite, athletic dynamo (albeit, a little lady) who could outrun most of her friends in a footrace. The twinkling in her brown eyes, the wiggle of her turned-up nose (just like Mom’s), her freckles, her always present beautiful smile, her infectious laughter –these paint a portrait of an irresistible imp who scattered joy and happiness around her like a rainbow.
With a maturity far beyond her seven and one-half years, Casey possessed a genuine concern for others, a selflessness seldom seen in a child. Her love for her parents and little brother, her family, her church, her friends and teachers was exemplified in all she did and was. Casey Marie Grant, an effervescent being of exuberant joy: Her legacy is one of exceptional love, happiness and grace – an inspiration to all.
