Candy was a good person. She certainly tried to do the right thing by others. She did love her job and cared about the inmates she dealt with. I loved her sense of humor. I haven’t seen her in many years, but I sure hope she had a good retirement and enjoyed the remainder of her life.

Lonnie, it has been many years since we have seen each other and buddied around together. I can still remember the fun times we had and being at the family house, meeting your mother and Candace. We used to refer to Candace as Candy Cain. She was just 10 or 11 years old then. It is with a heavy heart that we wish you and your family our deepest sympathy. I know the sorrow you feel from losing a sister. May you and your family find peace in knowing that Candace is now peacefully resting with the Lord.

To the Cain family, I’m very sorry for your loss. I knew Candy back in the early 80’s when I worked with her and her brother Kelly at National Foods. I’m praying for the whole family.

‘Candy’ was one of those people that could turn a really bad day into one of hope with just her smile and a few words; usually funny ones, at that.
We were truly privileged to know, and work with, her and considered her one of the most professional, personable, ethical and compassionate people we have ever worked with. Sangamon County lost a phenomenal employee when she retired and the world lost an even better person.
We sincerely hope her family and friends find much comfort in known she has already been told, “Well done, good and faithful servant”. Well done, indeed.
God speed Candy.

I remember Candy when we were in High School. I always liked her. I am so glad to read that she she loved and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. That means I will get to see her again someday, for I am also a believer in the Lord Jesus. I am reminded of the Psalms, where it is written ” The Lord cares deeply when his loved ones die”. May his peace be with you, her entire family.

Does Mott et al bear any responsibility for flowers we ordered and our guest book entry NOT being delivered? What a shameful situation. We used your website. My disgust for you is profound.

Lonnie & Cinda,
Even though we did not know Candace, we wanted to extend out deepest sympathy to you and your
family at this time. It is always hard to lose a dear loved one. We miss seeing you in Divernon.
