Candy and I met at Longview Community Ministries and instantly became buddies. She was the sweetest thing and mentored me and helped me so much. She will be greatly missed Now she will be an angel flying high with Jim and in no pain, gonna miss you sweet lady!
Candys faith and love has been an inspiration to me.Many people walk in and out of your life, but only a true friend will leave footprints on your heart. I feel truly blessed to have had her in my life. She was my yoga and walking partner. I will truly miss her precious smile. Becky Mitchell
Candy and Jim were our next door neighbors for three years. Candy was a lovely lady with a sense of adventure, a strong belief in God, and a great love of family. From hog and steer competitions to overnight chaperoning a group of girls at the Perot Museum, to ball games. . .if the grandkids were participating, she wanted to be there.
She loved any beach, reading, volunteering at the local food bank and helping others.
We miss them both.
I thought a lot of "Candy" just as her husband "Jim" did. I have not been the same since I lost my best friend Jim. I know now he will not be alone as Candy joins him. My best offering of peace and relief from this thought of being together goes to the family.
Shelia-and family extra thanks to you for allowing the "bunch" to come in and visit. That was nice and we appreciate it a LOT . Thanks for your patience and caring--Mike Downs
Loved sweet Candy! She will be greatly missed!

We send our love and prayers to Candy’s family. We are saddened by the loss of our beautiful, kind, joy-filled friend. We will always treasure the memories of our friendship with her and Jim.
