Candace Jenkins

To all her friends and Candy's husband, Ted: I am sitting here in Moss Beach, California - a small town not unlike Duxbury, MA - where I knew Candy. It is now July and I only just learned of Candy's passing from a friend, ironically via F/B. I was a friend of Candy's in High School. Although I was a female "jock" and she was a cheerleader (and Prom Queen dating Dick McEvoy, the school's accomplished athlete and Prom King from the Class of 1969) we never-the-less shared many other interests. ...

I don't know if words can describe what Candy was to me, how much her friendship, wisdom and guidance touched me and helped me to move forward. She was in my heart and always will be.

Dear Ted,
May you fnd comfort through this difficult time.
You are in my thoughts and Prayers.

Ted, I'm sorry I never got to meet Candy, but I wanted to express my sympathy to you. I am deeply sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you during this sad time.

Ted...my heart and prayers are with you. Candy was such a special woman, and your partnership together, always shined brightly. A loss of a spouse is beyond unthinkable....one is never prepared for a tragedy of such magnitude.. I can only say that you might want to take it day by day....hour by hour....minute by minute.....use friends and family if this soothes you, and embrace solitude when necessary. There is no recipe for dealing with this kind of profound loss. I share your grief, and...

Teddy, Your love for her will keep her close and her love for you will keep you strong.

I was deeply grieved to read in this morning's Boston Globe about Candy's death. I want to send my sympathies to her husband Ted and to all of her family members. Although I was not a close personal friend of Candy, I had a professional relationship with her for many years, actually decades. She was always helpful and friendly, with an understated sense of humor that could have been easy to miss. Ironically, only a few days ago I was looking into some of her work on the history and...

Ted, I never had the pleasure of meeting your wife Candy but I could tell how special she was through her impact on you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

May your memories live on
ever so brightly in your hearts.
As the last enemy, death is to be
brought to nothing.
