I've known Candace and worked with her on our Army Reserve nationwide furniture program for about 15 years or so. She performed our furniture inspections on newly constructed or renovated facilities. She was amazing. Candace was very knowledgeable and did an outstanding job and was always so pleasant. I always said she was our best customer ambassador who made sure every furniture project was done perfectly. To Mike and family I'm shocked and so grieved over your loss. Candace was such a kind and good person. May God bless your family and may God welcome Candance into His heavenly peace. Sincerely, Joe Gates, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Retired)

Sorry to hear of Candace passing. I worked maintenance at St. Louis Bertrand Church for 25 years and met Candace years ago. Always pleasant and over the years assisted the church on various projects. Deepest sympathy to her husband Mike and family.
