The passing of Candy is very sad news. As a next door playmate on Hampton Road during our elementry school years I will alway have fond memories of our early growing up years.

Sometime during our high school years, Candy invited me and two other girls (I don't remember who) to their cabin up state - I think near Charlevoix. Every time her mom spoke to her, she called her by a different name. I asked her why she did that. She said, "Candy has never liked her name, so I am always trying new ones hoping I will hit on one we both like!" Her mom's sense of humor was delightful...as was Candy's.
