I went to school in Pima with Candy. She was new to our school and had gymnastic talent which she taught for a P.E.class for a short while. I remember also she had a talent for singing.She left a lasting impression on me and have thought about her over the years. One impression was that she took life as it came and dealt with it how she felt she needed to. Prayers go out to her family. Candy, May you rest in Peace.

My condolences to Candy's family. She would come to my place and have coffee once in awhile and play with my dog and those are the memories I will cherish the most. She sruggled but made the most of what she had, I will miss her dearly. Her friendship will be missed.
