Very sad situation.
she looks spanish? I know most Canadians are Aboriginal anyways. Why don't they call all Canadians Aboriginal?
RIP TheCandyShow. You will be missed...😭
So sorry for our loss. I loved listening to her on CBC.
So very sad to hear of this loss. My heart is with all those who were close to Candy. She will be missed by many.
Cause of death 'unknown' eh? Hmmm.. If COVID were even remotely involved you better believe it would have been 'known.' Funny how medical privacy is only a thing if COVID is NOT involved. Sad...... RIP nevertheless...
Sad, but we know our birthday but we don't know our death day.
Sad, sad news! She will be missed!!
Praying for a moment of peace for her family tonight 🙏🏾
