This was so very unexpected, senseless and tragic! Candy is loved by so many people and she left her beautiful mark on each one of our hearts with her goofy, fun-loving spirit. I cannot begin to express how painful it is to know that we will not see her gorgeous face, beautiful smile, and hear her contagious laugh every day. It is very difficult to try to forgive this horrific act, but we know that Candy would want us to because of her kind and loving heart. We will miss her deeply and we will never forget her, but we will keep her in our hearts until we meet again. Our prayers will continue to go up for her daughter, whom she loved with all her heart and soul, for Rick, the love of her life, and for her parents and siblings. May God give you all peace, comfort and strength! We love you Candy!!!
