• There doesn't seem to be a time in my life when I didn't know Candy. She and my mother became friends while working at the Free Press and whenever I came home for a visit, Candy would come over to hear the latest news. When my mother died and I returned for good, Candy made a special effort to check on me, and help me adjust to my loss. When I wanted to go away to Arizona Candy was the only person I thought of asking to come along. Little did I know that she loved the movie Thelma and Louise. Along the way her secret came out, I still don't know which one of use was Thelma and which was Louise. However, I am glad that our trip to the Grand Canyon, was called off due to snow, since Candy was doing the driving. A car is a good place to talk and on the drive to and from Arizona, I learned how much Candy's family meant to her. She worried about her mother's health and missed their breakfast routine. She liked her sons-in-law and their commitment to their respective children. She didn't always understand the choices her 'girls' made but she loved them and as long as they were happy, she was happy. However, her greatest pride and joy were her grandchildren. She had the special privilege of seeing them, on an almost daily basis as they grew up They were firmly lodged in the center of her heart and she couldn't mention one without talking about the others. I will miss Candy's stories and her laugh and the awful herbal tea she insisted on drinking whenever she came to visit. - Posted by: Dana L Brenan (Friend) on: Jun 16, 2014

• Candy, very glad I got one last visit with you. You seemed at peace and still had your great laugh. Will miss your laugh, your wonderful smile and good sense of humour. You always brought happiness to the day and you will be missed. Hope you are enjoying your new adventure - Posted by: Debbie (Co-Worker and Friend) on: Jun 15, 2014

• Candy was a special friend, what made her so special was the fact that she didn't know how special she was! She always had an ear if needed, wanted to share a story or a laugh. She had a way of living her life in her own way, making do with what she had and enjoying herself handling life's trials with guiet dignity and grace. Her greatest joys were her grandchildren. I had the honor to share some of her last days quietly by her side, still she was dignified and peaceful. Candy, you will be missed and were loved, more than you know.
