Candis was a wonderful and thoughtful employee. She did her job cheerfully and well and certainly has been and will continue to be missed in our office. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Her passing was much too premature.

She was a good co-worker to me and one of the few I would entrust with personal issues. I wish there were more people like her.
Sorry for your loss. I wish I could attend the services.

Dear family,
Candis and I worked together for what seems like a life time. She is a dear friend who I felt that I have always known. Her passing will leave a space in my life for one can never replace a sister. Her ways were filled with acts of kindness, sound advice, and always her abiding faith that we shared.

My prayers go with you and my hope that God will comfort you.
