Candy, your zeal for life, your hospitality, and love for others will be missed.

The Olympic Social Club ("PICS") and Phyllis Wheatley Literary were brother and sister social clubs. George Privott and I were her favorite "Minor Lumphs", so she always told us! Through the OSC, we were friends since 1966. Candy was also the PICS' featured Mother's Day Tea artist (guitarist) in 1967. She was cool. We surely miss her. May GOD continue to bless her, the Sessoms- Mann Family, and all who knew and loved her.

We were saddened to hear the news of the passing of Ms. Sessoms. We both were students at Phoebus High School and she truly made a difference in our lives. We've maintained contact over the twenty plus years after leaving Phoebus and Ms. Sessoms always had good words to give us about live and it's many challenges. She will be dearly missed, however, we celebrate in knowing she was living her life for Christ. May God continually bless the family during this time of loss.

Ms. Sessoms,
I will always remember Ms. Sessoms as we called her, as the R/A, for Virginia Cleveland Hall freshman women class of 1971.  May God give her family strength during their loss.
