She was always present at all events for her precious and talented children and loved her Greg like we all should love our special person. I am praying for you all and sending light and love.
Candy and I had lost touch over the years but reacquainted through Facebook several years ago. Candy and I went to elementary school, junior high, and high school together. She will always be considered a dear friend to me.
Lucy family and friends, My deepest condolences on the passing of Candy. May our gracious Lord wrap His loving arms around you and give you a special peace. Heaven has gained a Saint.
To the family, Candy was my best friend in elementary through high school. She taught me how to ride her horse Coolwhip. I’m deeply saddened to hear about her passing. My prayers for you all as you go forward. She was a special lady. My condolences.
Greg, I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
