Her school remembered her as a friend to all with a bright smile.
“Cassidy had a special gift for uniting classmates with her smile, laugh, and genuine kindness.
“People just gravitated to her, drawn by her great sense of fun and camaraderie,” said Jennifer Pierce, head of school for Buckingham Browne & Nichols School.

Cassidy attended Pierce Middle School in Milton before transferring to Buckingham Browne & Nichols School this school year.
Her decision to transfer was based on the recommendation of her brother, who is a 10th-grade student at the school, school officials said.
“She wasted no time creating her own unique mark on the MS campus. Her ever-present smile, infectious laugh, and upbeat personality knit together any group she was a part of”, Pierce said.
Cassidy played hockey and competed in gymnastics, and was proud of her Irish heritage, “which was displayed beautifully with a Claddagh-ring mug and Celtic-cross plate that she made in ceramics class.”
“There are no words to describe the tragic loss of this vibrant young girl who had so much to offer and her whole life ahead of her,” Milton Public Schools Superintendent James Jette said.
