Not sure what to say?

Candy was my cousin - I enjoyed her everytime we were together. I remember Aunt Tootie and I dancing with Candy - she loved to dance and I loved to dance with her. She was special to everyone. Thank You Candy for being a part of my life

I worked with Candy almost everyday for 3 years when she lived in South St. Paul. She would come home from her day program and say with enthusiasm "I'm back home!" when she walked in the office. I loved every minute I worked with Candy. She would make me melt with "I love you sweetheart" and big hug. Candy was a small lady, but she had more love in her than anyone I have ever known. I miss our walks to the store for a Pepsi, watching Elvis in Blue Hawaii, and just simply being together. ...

Pretty easy to know when Candice was around...cause everyone in the room was always smiling and laughing when she was around. She always brought a smile to my face. Loved sitting at G'pa & G'ma's house with her, watching Shawn Michaels wrestle, drinking a pepsi, and listening to Roy Orbison, always fun! We will miss you Candice!

The news of Candy's passing makes me very sad. As kids though the news that Candy was going to the cabin with us or staying over night ment we were in for fun and laughing and we new it. She automatically made everything more speacial with her boundless spirit. Our Mom will be sooo happy to see her when she gets to Heaven. Love you Candy

Candy was truly a bright light in this world and brought joy to those who had the pleasure of knowing her. Candy loved Elvis, wrestling, Pepsi and weddings! She taught me how to really sieze the moment and live for today. She also taught me what is truly important in life. I know that Candy is in heaven and that we have a loving angel looking after us. God Bless You Candy. I love you and will miss you.

I knew Candy for 16 years as I worked with her at the facility where she lived in South Saint Paul. Such a sweet soul who could always bring a smile to people around her. Whether she was praticing her bowling moves in the office or pointing to the calendar to show when she got to go to McDonald's. She loved Pepsi, typing, bowling, and ELVIS. Her favorite dessert was vanilla ice cream with chocolate. Her hugs were out of this world and would always make my day. She would often say "I...

Candy changed my life. I had never met anyone like Candy before. In the begining there were times when it was difficult for me to understand what she was saying. I didn't know how to act around her.It didn't take long and she was making me laugh--she won my heart. Candy taught me to appreciate small things, like a six pack of pepsi and a deck of cards. Because Candy taught me to be open to the delightful spirt of all people and not shy away,the opportunity to work with kids who have special...

I remember Candy's Smile and laughter when we would play tag with her as a child. I grew up across the street from Missy Boeser and Candy would visit often. She would run down the hill and yell jeronimo!!! I'm sure she will be missed. My thoughts are with the family.
