It is with broken hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Cassandra Ashley Henderson (nee Tomassini), on April 28 th , 2022.

Cassandra always loved animals from her earliest as a toddler, and was extremely happy to be able to have her precious Otis visit her in hospital. She was a pure heart, kind to all, caring for everyone without any expectations in return, always willing to give all of herself, ready to listen when needed, offer any advice, and help. She could also be a fireball of laughter and fun, ready to take on the world. Cassandra was so much more than mere words to all who loved her, befriended her, and whose lives she touched with her smile, her laughter, her sing song voice. Cassandra always loved to visit, and spend time with her Grandparents, “Nanny” Anna (Bela Csabonas, both predeceased), and shared how happy she was to sing “You are my Sunshine”, the week before she passed to her only surviving Grandparent, “ Nona” Flor-ange (Ornato Tomassini predeceased).
