Candace was a light-hearted, fun person. She loved to tell jokes, laugh and
pull pranks. No matter how old she got, it seemed like she never outgrew that
pranking stage of her youth.
I remember when we were kids, she was always doing something funny around the
house. There was the time that she put plastic wrap underneath the toilet seat
and then waited outside the bathroom door so she could laugh when her father
went to the bathroom only to find out he was basically peeing on the floor. Then
there were the classic ketchup packet under the toilet seat occurrences. I think
we were all checking under the toilet seat for six months to make sure that
there were no ketchup packets.
As she got older and moved out, she had children and started a family. Her
children got to laugh at each other over the same pranks with a few added
tricks. There was Vaseline on door knobs and too many hilarious Halloween pranks
to list.
Candace never wanted to do anything too mean, though. She constantly joked
about putting Nair in my shampoo bottle, but I never lost any of my hair. She
would never hurt or embarrass anyone, she just loved to have fun and make people
laugh.
To this day, I will never look at plastic wrap or ketchup packets without
remembering Candace and her funny little pranks. I’m sure you all have your own
hilarious memories of Candace, or maybe it was just a funny joke that she told
you. Either way, I’m glad Candace was like that.
I have yet to meet another person that can make me laugh as much as she did,
and while I am sad that she is gone, I will never think about my dear sister
without it bringing a smile to my face. Thank you all for coming, and I would
love to hear some of your funny memories when we all go out to eat.
God bless you. For those of you who will not be joining us for dinner, I wish
you the best and thank you for coming today to show your support and respect.
