Kim & Mac...I am saddened to hear about Candy's passing. I worked with her for many years at VABC. She was a great co-worker and at times was a second mother to me. She always steered me in the right direction and gave me the best advice. I will never forget her kindness and how sweet of a person she was. My deepest condolences to you and your family at this most difficult time. Love and Hugs. GOD bless you.

Kim and Mac,
I knew Candy for many years when I worked at Andrea's Pizza and when I worked along side her at the Riverdale ABC Store. She was one of the nicest, caring and happy ladies I ever met. She was very helpful when I came to work and she was always a friend. I know you have a deep loss and wish you the best.
