Now that my girls are in high school, I can share with them more of the hilarious things we did, and the trouble we sometimes found ourselves in!

You are 43 years old today.
I was disappointed a few weeks ago because your Dad and I were going to be traveling in Egypt and I would not be able to post anything. We did not go because of a dangerous virus that I know you would be on the front lines battling for your patients.
We miss you and wish so much you were alive to celebrate You!
Forever.

Happy 13th Birthday Evan. Your father would have wished to be there for you as you navigate your teenage years. He would hope you are alive and well, excelling in school, participating in a sport and enjoying the companionship of many friends. We hope that for you also.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Dr. Candage, his wife Peggy and Rays siblings.
I didn't know Ray, but to lose a child I cannot imagine. I knew Dr. Candage from the hospital and he was my surgeon. From what I've read they raised an outstanding son in Ray.

When a person's partner dies they are called a widow or widower. When a person's parents die they are called an orphan. When a person's child dies . . . there are no words. We also miss Ray. He was a good friend to our son. Our hearts still hurt.

To Dr.Candage and Peggy,
I just want you both to know that I have also been in your shoes and it's been 14 1/2 years since I lost my child. You will always be in my thought and prayers...especially Dr Candage (my doctor since 1996). May time ease your hearts, but brighten your day with memories.

December 30, 2014
Forgive me, I know it is easy for me to say and often times hard to believe when you are so close to so much loss but I will say it anyway....
I really believe that Ray is still amongst us as we do our work at Loyola. No one who works as hard as he did or invested so much is truly ever gone.
I am truly praying for peace and some measure of comfort for your family.
December 29, 2014
Happy 8th Birthday Evan. We know your father would want us to send you Birthday wishes for him. We hope someday to get to meet you and celebrate your Birthday with you.

Precious family...I pray for you every Dec 21st! I've experience loss as well but finally after 6 yrs I am able to remember all the smiles my loved one shared with me and I am able to smile again. All the happy memories that I had allowed my grief to blur have now become my warm blanket of peace. I understand your pain and am praying that in time that peace will wrap you warmly in a blanket of comfort. God Bless........
