I´m so sad to hear of Candy´s passing. I went to school with her from the 1st grade up to graduation. Candy was such a happy sole I don´t think I´ve ever seen her angry, always a smile on her face. I´m sure she received God´s grace,getting the rest she so deserves.
So sorry for loss, Chris.

Chris.
25 or so years ago my son and I were at a banquet where you received an award in the field of athletics.
I dont remember exactly for what accomplishment but I do remember your speech.
You started out by saying how grateful you were for the honor but then proceeded to spend the majority of your speech talking about your wife.
You honored her by making us in the room aware of her courage and fighting spirit.
How she was the one who deserved all of the praise.
You made her feel like the star of the night.
That speech has stayed with me all these years.
Please accept my condolences.
