To the Polk Family, I am very sorry for the lost of a great person. Candi and myself worked together for many years and she always had me cracking up. She always had a funny story to tell . I can just closed my eyes and see us working on the production line together and she's talking crazy, but make no mistake when it was time to be serious, that's what it was. Always a true person. You will be missed, my friend. Elma & Ander Burns
