     Candy shared her love of animals, music, cooking and the outdoors with her children daily. With a little coaxing, Candy was always willing to try new things like family vacations to places like Washington, D.C., and Florida, and trips with Pat to see concerts and sporting events. Candy enjoyed spending time with her children and their friends in the neighborhood. Candy found great pleasure in attending school events and outings, all the while cheering the kids on and taking tons of photos. She found great joy in the gatherings of her extensive family.
