My Sincere Prayers and Condolences to each of you. May God Give You The Comfort Needed During This Difficult Time.
Candy, everyone you met you always left memories. You were always full of character and loved everyone. We hardly saw each other but would talk occasionally.
You loved your children, grandchildren and family so much.
You always spoke of how good God is. Yes, he is. You're now, rejoicing with your parents, son, siblings and other family and friends.
God will continue taking care of your children, grandkids and family members.
Get Your Rest My Girl,
Love Always, Kim
