Some photos are coming in of Candy -- along with a clarification. First, a classic photo of Candy -- classic in that she's with a baby or other small human, in this case Eve, with her daddy, Sharveen (Claudia, Eve's mom, sent this one in). Heather noted that Candy really rediscovered her childhood through Christ -- and, by extension, through Heather's kids. Relating to kids was something Candy did particularly well.
Here's her birthday -- her natural birthday, I should point out. Candy celebrated her "re-birthday" too -- the date of her becoming Born Again in Christ. It's a signific
ant date for many people, especially when they want to re-affirm 2 Cor. 5:17 ("if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature ...."), and I'm sure Candy used that as a conversation opener more than once ("How old are you?" "Five.").Mind you, Candy would probably also tell you it's a good way to double-up on the cake.
She stopped wearing the head-scarf (right) a couple of months ago: the front of her head had been shaved for surgery, but her hair grew back up front as it got longer at the back.
Cal wrote in with a clarification of Candy's testimony, to wit:
I think Candy came to our doorstep during the day, according to Heather, 1-1:30pm, but stayed the night, actually for several weeks... Our version of what the gunmen were after was drug money (they came to her place at night and she hid till after noon before feeling safe to make it to our place) but Candy didn't have any...
Keep the pictures and memories coming ...
Dharm Makwana, a reporter with 24 Hours, saw the blog and called to find out more. He's interested in seeing what people come forward with recollections of Candy's ministering to them on SkyTrain (or transit in general).
