Kandice was the kind of woman that everyone knew. She couldn’t walk into a room and go unnoticed. She had the most genuine spirit about her, she had no problem telling you the truth with her words but also with her energy. She would never pretend to be or feel anything that wasn’t true, she was sincere in everything she did. This quality of hers made everyone she cared about feel so very loved in her presence. This was a quality that made her so special to her family and friends, they knew they had a truly loving, unrelenting, & protective, wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, and it is one of the reasons she will be so greatly missed. Kandice will be remembered for her spirit, her smile, her love for others and as the life of the party.
