Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. You and my mom were great friends and I met you through her. You were such a precious and uplifting person that always had a smile on my. You’ll be missed terribly. May you rest in peace. A truly special, sweet angel. God love you 🥰

  2. I went to work at the Wellington Walmart in 1989. Not sure when I met Sherry but she worked there also. I met Candy and Joe over the years I worked there. Sherry and I became friends. I was at Chris and Sherry’s wedding and remember when Dusty carried Candy down the aisle after the ceremony. Candy always had a smile on her face! Even when she was upset about something she always had a smile. I have all of you in my prayers and my thoughts. She is always going to be there inside. Love you all and know you were raised right with all her love.

  3. Sherry, Dusty, Papa Joe and Johnny Joe: My heart goes out to you in your loss, and I will be praying for comfort over the next months. I will miss Candy’s bright smile and her willingness to always quickly give God glory throughout life. I always enjoyed watching her with her grandkids. In particular: Joshua, Nissi, Sophia, Noah, Christina, and Elijah. She really did “light up” around children. 😊 May our great and merciful God bless you all.
