Below is a poem written for Candi by her sister Rose entitled "Entering the Ring": When entering the ring All shining and glimmering like a star In her beautiful costumes You can hear the whistling, clapping, and screaming of her fans Then when her opponent enters You can hear the hatred and booing sounds from the fans. Finally, it gets on the way But by no way is it for play She’s in there not only to do what she wants But also what her fans want When she’s down, she’s not for long For she has her fans to cheer her on She takes the bumps And gives the bumps She gets bruises, and sometimes bloody Which can be like a flood, but She’ll never quit. For in the end, the good old Sun-set flip, Will bring her victory To not just her, but also her fans Who love her dearly For she is my one and only Sister, Candi Divine, A legend in her time. Spring Hill Funeral Home has been entrusted with the final care of Ms. Rummel. 5110 Gallatin Pike S., Nashville, Tennessee 37216. (615) 865-1101. "Where Nashville Comes to Remember."
