* I don’t have much to say about this topic except let’s hope that the Casten family can eventually find peace. They rightly asked for privacy and I think they should be given some space.

As a parent of 6 adults children, I cannot imagine the pain that the Casten family is dealing with now. May the Lord watch over them and help them through this extremely difficult. RIP Gwen

Wow, absolutely devastating. I know how proud Rep. Casten was of her accomplishments and I can’t imagine the pain he and his wife are going through.

Bowing my head and wishing they get some peace.

My heart breaks for the family.

I don’t know if it applies, but the mental health hotline (988) goes nationwide next month.
