Tribute

We had a lovely party at the Cedars to celebrate Candy’s life. 

I can claim no credit for flowers, food and decor. Matthew organized everything and Anna helped with the beautiful touches. Freshcut catering provided food and flowers. 

The only thing missing was the honoree. Boy she would have loved this. 

The Cedars as always was beautiful. 

These tiny desserts were a big hit. 

Bill’s brother and sister-in-law came as did Chris’s girlfriend, Ally. 

Candy was known for taking in “strays “. Young people who needed a little help on their journey. Brandon’s name tag read Stray #5. 

My Lucy. 

Chris was entertaining. I assume this one is for you Mom. 

It was lovely outside. 

We got to meet her older brother , Jeff. None of us had met him….

…not even Lucy and Chris. He told Lucy that you got your mom’s beauty and brains… thank goodness you didn’t get the Salistein nose. He was very funny and reminded us so much of Candy. 

Matthew the organizer and Ivy. 

Tripp too of course. 

All in all it was a lovely tribute. Now onto the rest of my life without Candy. 

So when Sophie and I showed up to clean up the next morning, we were dressed exactly alike.
