a love story

Everyone loves a love story...............
This is the love story of Mugan and Casey
You will remember my blog on their engagement
You will remember my blog on their wedding


Casey Cats
August 9, 1947 - April 22, 2012


In January of 2010 Casey and Mugan came down to Arizona for a two week holiday
They rented our friend Ken's home at our RV park
I had not met Casey yet ........
Had only heard good things about him........
I was expecting them to arrive at the park sometime during the evening
Around 5 p.m. I was out on the front porch when a white car drove up
and parked next door
'This man' got out of the car
and gave himself a big stretch
"This man' had the biggest smile on his face
and
I thought to myself
Wow
 'This man' has the greatest smile!!!
As it turned out
IT WAS CASEY
WHAT A WONDERFUL FIRST IMPRESSION

We spent lots of time together
Here we are at Stephanie and Rod's home
playing spoons!!!!

A new friendship began

 
June of 2010
We all gathered to celebrate Janette's birthday

July 2010
Stag Island
Curtis and Christine's wedding


Tim Horton's
August 2010
Casey and Mugan met in August of 2009
They agreed to meet at Tim's for coffee on that special day
The rest is history!!!!!!!!!
A year later they sat at the same table 
This time Casey was on a mission......
He asked Mugan to marry him!!!
Joe and I were there to catch the moment even though Mugan did not know that
We sat nearby but were in disguise!!!!!!

It's official
Meet the happy couple!!!!



We all met at Sue's after for a celebration
Di Casey Mugan Sister Shirley
Sue Janette Georgette Donna Mae

OH HAPPY DAY

I MUST SAY IT WAS A VERY HAPPY DAY

The wedding of Casey and Mugan


Mr. and Mrs.

Casey  and Mugan along with
Casey's sister and husband went on a cruise in January, 2012 and were stay in Florida for a month afterward
Casey was not feeling well
and after consulting with a Doctor he was advised to return home
For the next few months Casey fought hard but did not win
On Saturday April 21st we received a call in Penticton to say Casey was close to passing away
Joe made reservations for me to fly to Windsor
My flight was at 6:30 p.m. Sunday out of Kelowna

Just as we were leaving for the airport in Kelowna we received another call telling us Casey had died
Our son Graham and wife Lyndsay were flying into Kelowna on the 6 o'clock flight
I saw them through the 'glass' from the security room
They flew in........ I flew out
I arrived in Windsor Monday morning
There to greet me at the airport were
Janette Georgette Sue and Donna Mae
A very emotional and welcoming sight
Joe drove home leaving Penticton Tuesday morning arriving in Windsor Thursday evening
Gwendolyn sat in the front seat to keep him company

Casey's family
Casey's friends
Mugan's family
Mugan's friends
 are deeply saddened by his death

Casey will be missed

    Such a heart break I'm so sorry for Mugan's loss and for each of you as well. Dianne had made a comment about there being " such sadness in the air " and it's so very true. Be loving and kind with one another as one just never knows. God speed Casey.

  3. It is such a sad time for all who new Casey. We were only in his company a couple of times. He seemed like such a nice person. Boy did he love his girl Mugan. Our hearts go out to all of you who were so very close to him, especially Mugan. Janet & Bill

  7. I could hardly read this through my tears. Casey's presence in our lives was short however the joy and love that Mugan and he shared will leave beautiful and lasting memories with us until, some day, we will all meet again.
