Here are a few thank yous she received prior to leaving:
We Can’t Bear to see you go…but know you’ll keep Growling and Prowling!
~~Cassy is my hero. The first meeting on all this monument stuff
I attended, Cassy spoke to the crowd. Urging all of us to get off our
comfortable butts and understand we could fight this. That we HAD to fight
this. Thank you so much for the collective kick in the pants. Wendy Black
--Even
though I’d know you as a teacher, I’d never seen your fire until at the Mike
Noel meeting Phil organized in June 2016 at the arena theater. I’ll never forget how you jumped up, not just
once, but twice to plead with us to take this seriously, to get involved, to
understand what we had to lose. Being the basically apolitical person I am, I
don’t know if I’d gotten engaged in this battle otherwise. Thank you for the motivation, insight, and
passion you passed on that evening. You
are truly a great warrior-leader, and will be sorely missed in our
community. Janet Wilcox
~~Cassy
Moon, from me and grandma Betty.
We both want to say thank you
for all the hard work that you have done with us fearless warriors. We will
surely miss Cassy Moon and your family. We wish you the best and give us a call
every once in while. You are a one true
friend-- very sensitive, very emotional about our cause. Thank you. We won't be
able to make it today, but our prayers our blessing go with you.

Tom and Grandma Betty Jones
~~Way back last May/June (not sure exactly when) I attended a
meeting that I believe Phil Lyman put together with Mike Noel. Towards the end
of the meeting there was a notebook that was passed around for everyone to put
their contact info. A few days later I emailed everyone on that list trying to
put some sort of group together to unite our efforts to fight the monument. It
was very clumsily done and not very inspiring, but Cassy Moon was one of very
few people who responded to that email.
A few weeks later I met with Irene Jones, Anna Tom, and Grandma
Betty to plan out what we could do about utilizing the 4th of July and throw
together a float in a matter of weeks. I sent out emails, texts, etc... and
once again it was Cassy Moon who was among the few to respond. She not only
responded but she took the bull by the horns and stepped in where ever she saw a
need. She was involved up to her eyeballs from the very beginning. She has
inspired me through her actions, writing, and willingness to stand up and speak
out with passion and diplomacy. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to
work along side this warrior woman and will treasure this friendship and the
many things I have learned from her over the past year. Good luck and God Bless
you, Cassy!

eagle that flies high in the air; may you be our eyes and ears...for our cause we
will continue on forward to getting it done...You both inspired us...
