Candace Jayne Gazley

Candace had a heart of gold. She was always the first to give aid, to feed, and to shelter anyone and everyone. She volunteered for the Red Cross for over 20 years. Perhaps her giving nature wore her down and the good Lord called her early to give her the peace and serenity she so richly deserves; though she would never have changed the way she gave of herself. Her family was blessed by her grace. Glenn, her husband of 34 years, will cherish her memory deep in his heart and soul forever, and will always try to emulate her selflessness and giving spirit. Her family takes solace knowing that she is in the hands of her Lord, free of the pain and torture she suffered in her final years. May she walk in the radiance of God on a beach in heaven with her beloved Maddie and Timber, and we hope that God will grant us the joy of joining her one day.

I don’t know what to make of things,

You bring me joy so my heart sings,

But then you vanish like a lost star

That sends no sustenance

From afar!

Were I to make a choice it seems,

My love would fly to me on beams

Of light that fill up all my heart

So we are never

Kept apart!

Fate has a way to deal a hand

That neither of us

Understand

To take us where we won’t know

Why the rivers ebb or flow;

Or why the sky seems so blue;

Why the rain and

Not the dew!

So trust yourself and have no fear,

Souls aren’t made of elements here

That change color by light of day

And then at night

Kneel down to pray!

Reach out for me and hold me close,

Cast off your doubts and recompose,

And now forever understand that

You’re my woman and

I’m your man.
