Candice was not only my cousin but one of the best friends, I have so many wonderful memories of us together, since we were only 2 months apart, we were in the same grade through school and eventually graduated together. Don’t get me wrong we had our moments that we didn’t agree but at the end of the day we were family, and we loved each other and had each other’s back. I’m still just lost without her and I know I’ll never be the same but I’m just relieved she’s no longer in pain. Thank you all for the Prayers and kind words during this difficult time. Much love to you all !!!!

My dear sweet friend is now gone. Candice, I know we didnโt know each other for a long time, but in that short time we became fast friends and then as great friends do, we became sisters. At least thatโs how we felt hu. So I not only lost a friend, I lost a sister. Iโm so happy that you are where you belong sitting at the right hand of The Father. You ha e your mansion, and you get do walk on streets of gold. I sure hope that He has given you wings and a halo ๐ because you deserve both. ๐ธ๐ธ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐น๐ทflowers for you my sweet friend. I miss you and I love you so much.
