Rest well Auntie… Love to the family
She will be sadly missed by all her family and Friends
I like to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. It was never God’s intent that death should rule over mankind. – Romans 5:12; 1Corinthians 15:26, 55; He will do away with it and He has provided hope-as stated at John 5:28, 29. During this most painful time please find comfort from the scriptures.
Was so sad to hear the news….thankfully I got to catch up with her a few years back when she was bartending at Roosters….Candy I will never forget our childhood “laughs” and the trouble we got into…Your pain free now, watching over us all…I love you dearly and say hi to my momma for me 🙂
Mazy you will forever have a place in my Heart we have been friends all our lives. Had many good times. and would not trade them for nothing. Go rest high on that Mountain till we meet again
Candy and I worked and managed Lamar’s together for 5 months. Candy is a great person and has always put her kids in front of her. She don’t waste no time to put her feelings her problems on the back burner to help someone else. When I worked with Candy no matter how I was feeling about going through custody court with my daughters mom I would always clock off at the end of the day with a smile and feeling better bout my situation. Candy you will be missed by lots of people and loved by lots of people and family. Glad your not in pain anymore though.
