Miss Candy was one of my favorite people. The things I have learned from her will never leave me. One of the greatest memories was when I got to see her in the rehab center after she fell down the stairs. Even though she was in pain she still made jokes as if nothing was wrong. She was strong even if she was weak. She will be greatly missed by my family and I.

Ed,

I'm very sorry about the loss of your daughter. My wife, Susan, survived a cerebral hemorrhage in 1999, and she survived breast cancer that was diagnosed in 2008. She had a double mastectomy, reconstruction, and chemotherapy. She's now cancer-free. We've been very fortunate. Life is precious. I've been at Honeywell 32 years now, and I plan to retire in a couple of years. I'll be thinking about you and praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
