To all of Candy's family & friends, Words cannot express our profound grief over such a tragic event. I had the pleasure of working with Candy, as one of my PT students at Radford U. Candy was a joyful soul, engaging student, and compassionate human being. I loved watching her interact with our young clients in the therapy lab. She really had a heart for kids. She will be fondly remembered by so many whose lives she has touched. May God be with you all during this difficult time as we pray...

We love you Candy. You were a bright star in our lives. We will miss you.

Our hearts are saddened by the loss of Candice and our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May your precious memories of your time together help with the pain. May God comfort your hearts and give you peace. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

So sorry and so sad. Words cannot express how I feel about this tragic loss. Rest in Peace!

I hope you're dancing in Heaven, babe. Peace and Love forever, Angela

Candy, to know you was to fall in love with you. You will always be my hero and sister wife. We planned on spending our lives in friendship together and now I will keep you with me in my heart and memories forever. I am thankful for the adventures we enjoyed, yet honored more by the tears we shared, hearts shuddering in emotional embraces. You gifted me with raw glimpses of your soul, moreso than with your gorgeous mega-watt smile and rooster laugh. Please look after my girls, they loved you...
