Candy was one of the very first sign language interpreters I ever met in my early career as a vocational rehabilitation counselor starting to work with the Deaf. She was always encouraging me, taught me sign language techniques. But, most importantly, we became friends over the years. She will be so sadly missed. Always a smile. Always cheering you up. My heart and prayers to the family at this time. Rest in peace, dear friend.

I shared many experiences with Candy at MSD. We had lots of laughs. I'm sure her laughter will be heard by the angels she's with now. She had a great 'dash'! My deepest heart felt sympathy to your family.
