To the Simpson family, My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of Candi. I had the opportunity to get to know Candi through the band and I also work with Kalynne,she was such a wonderful person. She always mad me feel so loved when we seen each other. My daughter Brianna also loved her very much. She would not let anyone braid her hair on football Fridays but Candi. The ICHS Band will never be the same without her ,she was so dedicated to all the kids. Kalynne and Krysten, Bri and I are here for you if you need anything. We both love you very much. Bri and I consider ourselves so lucky to have had such a kind,loving,and wonderful person in our lives. It will never fell the same without her but, we know that she's up in heaven looking over all of us.

I had the opportunity to meet Candi last year during the Jr. High Band Tag Day. She was with her niece that day who was paired with my daughter. Candi and I sat in my car the entire 2+ hours and talked - about our families, friends and God. All of whom I could tell was so very important to her. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I am sorry to not have the opportunity to know her better.

Very sorry to read of the passing of your dear loved one Candace. It seems that life is such a presious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. I am writing to share a few words of comfort and encouragemet from the source of truth the bible. God holds out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11:25 Jesus said "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCIES FAITH IN ME EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE." The bible gives nine accounts of ones who were resurrected. That act is a guarantee that the resurrection of others is possible . God can bring back billions of dead people he holds within his perfect memory. (John 5-28,29) What a blessed reason to hope in God! We have been given the gift of our memories. When a loved one becomes a memory that memory turns into a treasure. Continue to lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad time. 9Psalms 83-18) Agape M.L.Hurt

I never met Mrs. Simpson, but I heard that she was an organ donor. I recieved a liver from a young man 18 years ago. There is not a day that goes by that I don't thank him and his family for their choice to donate. I've never met my donor's family, but they are always in my prayers. I only had a couple of months left, and their decision gave me 18 more years with my family. Words can't describe the gratitude I feel. I'm sorry for your loss, buyt you made your worse day another families best day. Thanks for your decision to donate. I commend you for having the courage to say yes.

Dear Rob and Girls, Candi was always such a great friend. We attended high school together and she always had time to listen if anyone had a problem or if you just needed someone to talk to. She will be greatly missed and I will cherish the memories of my high school years with her. My prayer now is that the God of all peace and all comfort be just that and rest your hearts knowing that she is in her true home, heaven. Sincerely, Craig Pugh
