I met Kandy when i was really young. My dad was best friends with Gene.. My dad had told me back in the day when Gene,him and my mom used to party that he named Gene my godfater. One night we went over to their house and Kandy was there, i stayed that night with her and we got really close after that. As the years went by we started to fade away and not be as close as we was. But every now and then we would talk on facebook, because she was always busy. She wanted to meet my girls, and its sad that she didnt. They would have loved her like everyone else. I talked to her a couple days before she passed and was so upset when i heard the news. Kandy you are truly missed and i wished that for Christmas you could just some how come back. Everyone loves and misses you tons, and one day we will all see you again.
kandy as i go and say my last good bye i cant help but get teared up and upset over the little things like not being able to hang out as much as we used to or not keeping in touch as well as we should have. I still cant believe you left us, but at least now you wont have to deal with all the hurt and troubles this world has to throw at us. Many people are hurt and shedding tears over losing you. ...
I remember all of the laughs and times we used to hang at the park the letters we wrote and the silly stupid things we did just to pass time. I remember staying over at ur house in your room and laughing over josh's texts or the silly things he would say to you, i remember your mom telling us "girls its time to quiet down and go to sleep you got school in the morning" and we laughed even harder. i remember you baking the cookies and bringing them to school for all of us you were so proud of burning your finger and the cookies still being great. babygirl its so hard to believe your gone but at least i know i got another beautiful person looking down on me. so smile your bright smile and laugh that beautiful laugh and touch us today as we go and say our final goodbyes. your family and friends are so proud of the things you have done in your life. we love you so much kandy! R.I.P girly.
Kandace(kandy cane) You will be missed, What I will remember the most about you is your warm heart and loving smile. I can remember when you were 2-3 yrs old people would say to you ( kandace you look nice in that dress, or kandace you are a beautiful little girl your words to them were (I KNOW) I can remember your mom telling you KANDACE you should say thank you. You would tilt your head to the side and just smile. You knew you were a beautiful little girl. I spoiled you every chance I got. there wasnt a day when you were born that I didnt come to see you. I can remember your dad and mom bringing you to my house late at night getting me up to put you to sleep. I would lay you across my lap and bounce my legs and pat your butt and you would fall asleep. they used to tell me (you spoiled now you help get her to sleep) I used to laugh as the years went by telling that story about getting you to sleep. when we were at aunt thelmas for a cookout on the 4th of july in 2011. I hadnt seen you in a long time I couldnt believe how much you had grown. we talked about all the things we used to do. Like play in the rain, play hop scotch on the sidewalk , run through the mud holes, Your mom used to tell me I was worse than you kids. Cause I was usually the one taking you by the hand running in the rain or splashing through the mudholes. But nothing makes me happier than to let kids be kids dirt and all. I remember the first mud pie you made your mom, the look on her face was priceless as if you just handed her the most special gift you could have ever given her. your were so excited you had made the perfect mud pie. You will always be in my heart kandace. Until we meet again I love you.
What I remember most about my niece, Kandace, are the hugs and her smile. The last evening we spent with her was at my mom's eating a meatloaf dinner. I never dreamed she'd like meatloaf! She and her dad, Mike, couldn't stay long because Kandace had college classes that evening. She had on a pair of pants that used to be Kendra's, which were too small for Kendra. Kandace was joking about the legs not being "too long" as she lifted them off the ground. She gave us all a hug before leaving and told us she loved us. We watched as she drove off to take her Daddy home so she could go to school. We were just as proud of her as she was of herself for going to college, getting a car and for working. Life is too short, and we miss her immensely. She will always be a part of our lives and I look forward to the day when I will get to see her again and wrap my arms around her for another hug! I hope she and my baby sister, Kim, are having a good time together in heaven.
I met Kandy in middle school, we have been BFFs ever since. We were always together enjoying life. I was always there for Kandy and she was always there for me. I will never forget all the memories we share. The last time we were together was last November when I came into visit. We had such a wonderful day at the mall. We bought BFF bracelets and matching belly rings. I love and miss you!
