I ask that each of you continue to send your prayers and love to Cassidy Stay and her family. In a horrific act of domestic violence Cassidy watched as an estranged uncle tied up her parents and four siblings and shot and killed each one when they could not tell him where his ex-wife was at. Cassidy saved the lives of her grandparents by pretending to be dead and waiting until he left to call 911. #StayStrongCassidy #WeSupportYou SPRING, Texas - A community gathered Saturday morning to honor and remember the six members of the Stay family allegedly slain by a former family member. Friends, classmates, neighbors and loved ones attended the event at Lemm Elementary School organized by Klein ISD. Lone shooting survivor Cassidy Stay, 15, and her grandfather Roger Lyon were in attendance. Both expressed thanks to the public for the outpouring of support, as well as the first responders and medical staff that treated Cassidy over the last few days. Cassidy spoke, quoting a line from Harry Potter, Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. I know that my mom, dad, Bryan, Emily, Becca and Zach are in a much better place and that Ill be able to see them again one day. Without her courage and quick thinking, we might be mourning the deaths of 20 people today, including us, and nearly all of our children and grandchildren, Lyon said. He added that Cassidy told him after she was shot she felt as though angels were there with her, putting her hands over her mouth and whispering her to be quiet. Cassidy played dead after accused gunman Ronald Lee Haskell, 33, shot her, her parents and four siblings while they were face down on the floor in what investigators say was an execution-style killing. When he left their house she called 911, and when emergency crews responded she was able to give them valuable information about Haskells identity, what car he was driving and where he was headed next.
