Candice I love you. You showed me things my earthly mother didn’t show me and for that I am forever grateful. Rest In Peace ❤️‍? I am happy you are no longer suffering and I am grateful I got to speak to you one last time. I will definitely see you again salaa alaikum. You didn’t deserve the things you went though on earth but now you are with the king ? you were a real one.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Vincenza Randazzo and Candida was my precious little sister. Yesterday as I had to push through and get things done I broke down countless times in utter disbelief. Can, I don’t know how I’m going to resume everyday life after you. Driving by the hospital again left me numb, going upstairs knowing you won’t be in your room rips me in two, my phone rang and I can’t believe I won’t hear it announce “Can’s Cell” anymore. It’s all just so excruciating BUT in the depths of my grief I keep replaying all of our beautiful memories and the pure hearted little sister and girl I knew, the little sister who was my absolute best friend growing up, the little girl with that infectious smile you see in her tribute video, the little girl who at playtime selflessly and always let me be the teacher and she the student or I was the cashier and she was the customer, the little sister who wrestled with me as I pretended to be GLOW’s Hollywood wrestler and she was Mt. Fiji, the little sister who took my bossy big sister crap but most importantly she was the little girl and little sister who lit up my life. We had our rough patches and someone had to give her tough love. Unsurprisingly, that someone was me and I ached when I had to do it. In the end, she reassured and humbled me by thanking me every chance she got and told me if it wasn’t for my tough love she would’ve never gotten to know God. She told me what a wonderful mother I was, how lucky I was to have someone like my husband, Pete, by my side and on some very hard days she reassured me I was doing an amazing job. She called me Superwoman saying I’m ready for my pajamas and bed at 8 o’clock, how do you do it all Vin?! She made me laugh but more than anything she filled up my heart with so much love during these cherished & uplifting conversations. In turn, I saw worthiness, beauty and goodness in her that she didn’t always see in herself. She deserved so much more than what she got out of this earthly life so I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t angry with God right now. As we mentioned in her obituary, she courageously battled breast cancer for the last two years being stronger than anyone should ever ever ever have to be.  Although I know she’s in a better place now doing God’s work I will never forget what she did during her time here. Her heart was made of gold always helping people, even the ones who didn’t deserve it. She truly was the epitome of the verse Matthew 7: 12 - "So in everything, do unto others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." We discussed many times during her illness that when she made it through she would make it her life’s work to help other cancer patients get the necessary care they needed without struggling like she unfortunately did. Candida please know we will find many ways to honor your wishes and all the good you wanted to do. My beautiful Candida, you took a piece of my heart when you took your last breath. I know I have to let you Rest In Peace but know I will make sure you are never forgotten. You will live in our hearts and souls forever. I love you SO much.

My heart is so sad for you Philomena, Vincenzo & Vincenza! I will cherish the memories of the beautiful Candida, she was the sweetest baby girl who grew into a lovely young lady. That magnetic smile will forever be in my heart. May Candida rest in the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ and watch over you all. With love to you all always Lisa

My dear cousin Candida, I am missing a piece of my heart at losing you too soon. You were my sister more than my cousin, a bond so strong that I will carry with me forever. My core childhood memories are filled with you and your beautiful spirit, we were always together and that continued until adulthood where we spent so many times laughing and talking about everything under the sun. I will miss you dearly but am comforted knowing you are among the angels in heaven and our past loved ones. Say hello to my mom for me. May you now rest in eternal peace. Love always, Cynthia
