To the family of Candace Ann Hinkley,
I remember Candy when she was first diagnosed with diabetes.
I was a nurse on M3S and we loved taking care of our sweet new patient who was learning to give her insulin. Her mom Joan was so helpful to all of us and we enjoyed it when all Candy's siblings came to visit ! She was a doll and thru the years I spoke to Joan who gave me updates on Candy. I will never forget you Candy
You were one of my favorite patients !! God Bless You and may you Rest In Peace, Love and Hugs,

I am sorry Candace that I did not have the chance to talk to you and Leo before this happened. I saw Leo two weeks before the accident and figured you both were about to make a reappearance in my life. You do not know how badly I feel about this happening. I went and took a couple of swims at Hammonasset, one at sunset, for you both. It was such a favorite place of all of ours. I will never forget walking with you on the beach the last day of 1999 and the first day of 2000 at sunset, or of the time you, Leo and I were there with the multiple rainbows.
