This is from Melissa’s site, the arrangements have now been made for Cassandra. It sounds like it will be a great Memorial. I am sure she will finish Cassandra’s final days later when she is able to. For now here are the arrangements that have been made -
I am planning to begin my journey back to NY today with my dad, Kathy and brother Bob in the motorhome. The beauty of the land will restore me, I pray. Alex and Chris are flying in an hour. Last night Diane, Sue and Rhoda flew. Jim will fly to NY with Annie next week. Please pray for Godspeed and healing.
A memorial service with military honors will be held for Cassandra on Sunday, April 11, 2010 at the Cobleskill-Richmondville High School football field beginning at 12 noon with a reception to follow. In addition, a church service is being planned for Saturday, April 10, 2010, but details have not been finalized.
In lieu of flowers, her family is requesting that donations be made to a scholarship fund created in Cassandra’s memory. Donations can be made in person at any local NBT branch or mailed to NBT Bank, 691 E. Main Street, Cobleskill, NY 12043 for The Cassandra Jean Becker Memorial scholarship Fund.
I am still praying incessantly. Love Mel

I attended the memorial service for Cassandra. It was a very moving ceremony and I felt everyones pain and sadness. She was quite a young woman and an outstanding Marine. A very bright star is no longer with us but I’m sure her spirit is here and watching over those who loved her.
Semper Fidelis Marine.
