    Our hearts are saddened at the prolonged illness and passing of Candy, and so very happy to have known her. She always had a cheerful hello and happy countenance, and we know how very much she loved those grandchildren. We are praying for Ron and the family at this difficult time. Let us know if there will be a memorial service to celebrate her life.
