When I first discovered this group I was so happy, and maybe over anxious to talk to anyone who knew Cass, and was connected to her in any way. I have tried to reach out to those who knew Cass both family and friends to let them know just how much Cass meant to me all of these years growing up, and finally being able to tell someone close to her how I have felt all of these years. It feels like Cass was a part of my life too through her music, and through the pictures and the videos that I see of her. That's all that I've got. I actually shed tears when I think about her passing away at the height of career and not being able to raise her daughter Owen and watch her grow up. Maybe I don't come across the right way or something I don't know. But I would just like to be able to come on this site and feel like a part of the group, and feel connected. I don't. I feel that I get ignored and brushed off, and not even acknowledged. It makes me so sad because Cass is my idol, and I love her so much. I just want Owen an her family to know how much Cass and her music has inspired me. I always dreamed of going on a talk show and actually meeting Cass's family in person and telling them face to face how I feel. I don't know what more to say. It's not like I can talk to Cass herself and tell her how I feel. I don't know ......This post may sound silly, but I just thought that I should let someone know how I feel. Maybe others feel this way too, and don't know how to come forth and say how they feel. I am hoping that I can connect with more people on this sight and be more involved in the discussions here. If I ever asked something that was stupid I apologize. I do remember a time when I had asked a question and I felt that I was in the wrong. I am asking because I care and I want to know as much about Cass and her life as I can. Anyhow my name is Niecey Colette Szymanski. I am 43. And I am a very devoted fan of Cass's. She is in all that I do, and will always be my favorite idol. Her music inspires me each and everyday, and I just want everyone to know how I feel. I wish that I could have met Cass, and feel that all anyone can do is keep her spirit and memory alive by coming together on here, and on any other site and remembering the great person that she was. It seems that people these days don't speak much about Cass or even remember what a great singer she was. Let's not let this happen. Let's all come together and talk, and keep Cass's spirit and memory alive. I feel better now since I wrote this and hope that I will get some feedback. I am also on Facebook as Niecey Alexander-Szymanski if anyone is on there and would like to connect with me. Thanks so much for reading this post. This is the only place people can talk about Cass, and actually talk to others who care about Cass and feel the same way.
Sincerely
Niecey Szymanski
