I am so sorry for this loss. My prayers are with you all.

Candace was a wonderful friend, always able to put a smile on my face with her keen wit and wonderful sense of humor. She was a true humanitarian who was full of kindness for her fellow human. She volunteered hundreds of hours for us at Legal Aid of Arkansas over the years, expecting little in return other than the satisfaction she got from helping others and making a difference in their lives. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Lee Richardson - Friend

I hadn't seen Candace in several years, but I have a lot of really good memories growing up with her and her brothers. There were times when she and I were very close, like sisters. It's sad to know that she's not here anymore. I can't imagine how Warren, Audrey and Dana must feel. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Love, Julie

Julie Hart - Friend

Jim & Bonnie Brown - Cousins

We know there is nothing we can say to help take the pain away, but know that we care deeply. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Carl & Patty Fraley - Warren's Cousin

Who was she?...a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend. She was about spirit and heart... she was about caring and accomplishment. There are certain women in our world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere and leaving it behind them when they go. You'll usually find them immersed in their work, or slow dancing with their dreams, or making a difference for all those around them. These are the women who can flood our souls with light and laughter... strength and courage... hopes and dreams. It's not just what they do that sets them apart, it's how they make us feel. She was someone gentle but powerful. Someone whose music washed away the dust of everyday life. Someone who made us laugh when we thought we would cry. Someone who could pick up the pieces and give them back and not always necessarily in all the right order. Someone who paid attention to the little things and added such beauty to the world. Someone who cared. We'll miss you Candace. We couldn't have loved you more, Sam and Eileen~

Eileen Baerg - Teacher/mother Figure/friend

Just wanted to say you all are in our thoughts and prayers. I went to school in PG with Candace. She was always a delight to be around. She will be missed by us. Sorry to hear about your loss and know that memories of her will not be forgotten. She has touched alot of people in her short-lived life. Again sorry about your loss. You all are in our prayers.

Amanda Hall - Aquaintance

Although I have never met any of you, Candace shared a lot about herself and her family with me on several occasions. It was obvious to me that she loved you all to no bounds. Candace was always there for me, and any other friend she had, when life was tough. My father passed away unexpectadley about 5 years ago, and Candace talked with me about it at times when it would haunt me. She as well shared some of her losses and pains with me. She was alwyas fun to hang out with, never failing to bring a smile to my face. We will always miss her, but I will never forget her smiling and laughing.

Larry Screen - Friend Of Family

Candace, I haven't seen you in many years. The last I remember, you were a small tomboyish girl, and I was too busy running around playing with Dana and Marty to notice you or my little brother. Today I found out that you grew up to be an artistic, funny, bipolar woman. I'm bipolar too. And I also attempted suicide, but I somehow woke up, and you didn't. Who this illness takes is the luck of the draw. The thing I most wanted my family to understand -- and today I am more thankful than ever that I lived to tell them -- is that it had absolutely nothing to do with them. It has nothing to do with anything but the static and chaos in your head, and how loud it gets, and how hard it is to bear. It's terrifying to be inside this brain with this disease, and no matter how much anyone else loves you, it won't let you love yourself. It won't let you hear them. Sometimes it just gets way too loud in there.

Stacy Pershall - Friend

I will be praying for her family and friends during this hard time. She always knew how to make everyone laugh.

Jj Mitchell - Went To School With Her At Pg.

Dirty joke-tellin'...that's Candace. She will be missed immensely. We wish her family well.

Candice will be missed. She could always make anyone she was around laugh. We all had some fun times... my prayers will be with you all.

Brittany Jordan - Friend

Dear Napier family and friends, I am deeply sorry for your loss of Candace and have thought frequently about my memories of her since I received the news. Although I did not know Candace that well, my memory of her is a bright one. She made a lasting impression upon me. I met Candace socially among friends and she was an instant hit with me. She has the wit and humor that leaves a lasting impression. My thoughts and prayers go out to each one of you in this difficult time. May God give you the strength and peace to get to the next day. R.I.P., Candace. In my thoughts, Michelle

Michelle Brown - Aquaintance

Candace touched my life in so many ways. I went to highschool with her at Emmanuel Christian in Salina and when I was the new kid, she made me feel welcome. She was wonderful and always the life of the party. She will truly be missed by all that knew her.

Charlie was a gifted child and a wonder to talk to. He could make up stories in a second and carry on for hours. His passing has left a emptiness in me that is slowly filling with memories. I love Charles and I always will. Love Dad

I will never forget her sparkling eyes and contagious smile. She was that "little red-haired girl" to my son's "Charlie Brown," and a good friend to all my children.
