Our deepest sympathy goes out to Gary and family on the passing of Candy. She was always a smiling face in the crowd, and was a longtime true family friend. She was so easy to talk to, and was caring and so compassionate. Her dedication to St. Matthew Church was remarkable, and she will be extremely missed. We love you, Candy!Marilyn and JoeGarcia, Cridersville, OH 10-12-18

I am blessed that Candy and I crossed paths this Spring and took a few moments to talk. She looked good and was confident of her cancer cure. She told me of her family and was proud of them.I love the Wertz and Stevely families and wish I could share memories with them, but just had surgery myself. Candy loved music and played for many funerals, weddings and church services. She touched our hearts and will forever be missed. May her angels comfort her family and all of us. John Seiling
