The 15-year-old lone survivor of a shooting that left her parents and four siblings dead in their suburban Houston home bravely thanked the community Saturday for their support — and said she finds solace in knowing she will see her family again.
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light,” said Cassidy Stay, quoting a line from the “Harry Potter” series at a “celebration of life” gathering at Lemm Elementary School in Spring, Texas.
Cassidy, who survived the shooting Wednesday by playing dead when a bullet grazed her head, spoke to more than 400 people who came to honor her family's memory.
The teen said she's comforted knowing her parents, two brothers and two sisters are “in a much better place, and that I'll be able to see them again one day.”
The teen also thanked hospital staff who treated her after she was critically injured by alleged gunman Ronald Lee Haskell, her ex-uncle. She was released from the
hospital on Friday.
