I was so very saddened 2 hear this news about dear Candy. Candy and I grew up in OH, on Wadena Street. Her dear Mother, Mrs. Sarah and my Mom, Ruby Wright were the best of friends and Mrs. Sarah hired me as Candy and Winky's babysitter. Being only 4 years older than she, it was more of a party than work. We always had a great time together. Two yeats ago we re-connected and were texting with promises to get together my next trip down south. Please know my heart & prayers for strength are with you & your families. Candy was and will always be the BEST. She will forever be in our hearts. May God continue to bless & keep you close now & always. Mary Frances is in good hands now. 🥰 Because God's love never fails. Our Love & condolences to you all, Honey Wright and the Wright family.

Sending heartfelt condolences from the Morrow family in Washington DC; Aunt Gwendolyn and Charles and family. As second cousin and Auntie, we did not get to spend as much time as we may would have liked but we watched Candy grow from a baby to a woman. We loved you and will miss you.

To the Crews and Batts family our sincerest condolences are extended to you and the family. Mary and I had an extensive working relationship paralleled with a sisterhood which later developed. Mary always possessed an unequivocal and unmatched gift of listening, problem solving, excelled at performing her skills assigned. Additionally, we was such a quick study end to end whilst comprehending how it impacted other tables, databases for the telephony footprint. She was the real deal and a real subject matter guru. She was so well rounded in all facets of life, dedicated and extremely hard worker. He largest compliment was networking, and loving on her family and true friends unconditionally. The friendship, the infectious laughter, the lended hand in tutoring to my three children and she was a true confidant I will always forever cherish and sorely miss. God's granted your wings earlier and I know you went 1st class in taking your flight. Thank you for the fond memories which are forever chiseled! May God wrap his outstretched hand around your family knowing your in the Almighty care making your indelible mark! Love Always, Karen Herring Perry(Shon) Kyla, Kyrí & KaMya
