Candice was a beautiful, bright star and she brought much light into this world. She had no shortage of love, kindness or compassion to share...whether it be with her children, her customers at her cafe, a street performer, her favorite charities, or even a stray dog.
We lost her too soon and she leaves with us her legacy of love and impact. She will be forever missed and remembered as a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, community leader and friend.
Celebration of life services will be held on May 25 at 2pm at Crosspoint Niceville in the Community Life Center. Colorado services will be held on June 11 at 4pm at the Buddhist Community Center at 1450 Speer Blvd. Free parking is available behind the building.
To honor her heart of compassion and empathy for others, please consider donating to the New Beginnings Animal Sanctuary in Niceville, Fl; Crosspoint Women's Group in Niceville, Fl; Safehouse Progressive Alliance in Boulder, CO or a charity of your choosing.
I grew up very sheltered and had formed opinions from a Catholic school school perspective. People who listened to anything not mainstream or who had different haircuts or hair colors were mean and scary. My school actually suspended several students for having short, colored, and/or shaved hair. When I went to college, I was lucky enough to find friends who weren't the catholic school normal. I lived with a Holli all through college and her sister, Candice, came up to party with us. That's how I still picture Candice. Short pink hair and seriously cool clothes and a shy, warm smile that didn't judge anybody. I was amazed at her easy individuality. I'm sad that her light is gone now. Thank you Candice for shining.
