The
service for Candi was held on Sunday afternoon in the Rotary building
in Lynden. This building was used as it was thought that more people
would attend than the regular church Mark and Candi attended would
hold. In fact somewhere between 250 and 300 hundred did attend. It
was a beautiful service with Mark, daughter Dawn, and daughter-in-law
Lizzie speaking. All had eloquent words to say. This was followed by
a slide show set to music put together by Mark from all the thousands
of photos the family has. It was a very nice synopses in photos of
Candi's life.
On
Monday family members started leaving for home. We took Mark out to
dinner Monday night. Clyda and I waited until Tuesday to leave so we
could do last minute things, like laundry for all the beds, towels,
etc. We drove to Portland to spend a few days with our friends Thomas
and Debbie. They had driven to Lynden for the service on Sunday.
To
all those who sent cards, flowers, and thoughts, we would like to
thank you for thinking of us in this very difficult time.
Candi
was 55 years old and in the prime of her life. She had two new grand
children under the age of 6 months. A lot to look forward too but the
good Lord had other plans.
