Who Am I

She then remained in education throughout the next fifty years, substitute teaching, homeschooling, working in in her church's children's ministry, then teaching or administrating in Christian schools and her church. Now retired, Candice is a wife, mother, and grandmother who loves being with her family, playing on hands and knees or simply providing a listening ear.
