Dearest Mrs. Cannon, Thank you for being my best friend when I was a little girl. Thank you for taking so much time to make me feel special. My best childhood memories are those Sunday afternoons I spent with you. I will miss you and I know you are having a wonderful time with Jesus now.
I am so sorry for your loss, Cannon family. Believe me, I know what a huge loss it is.
My sincerest sympathy for your loss, Carolyn and family. Mrs. Cannon was an exceptional lady, and I count it such a privilege to have known her. Mrs. Cannon always brightened and encouraged everyone around her. To all the Cannon family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
To Ms. Cannon’s Family…I will always miss this gentle Lady’s presence, and her warm, friendly ways. She was always inviting me to sit with her at Church, and on occasion I was a guest in her home to share a meal. May her wonderful Family find The Lord’s Peace and Grace in the days to come. I will be Praying for all~

Dear Cannon Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I know it is a great comfort to know that she is rejoicing in Heaven right now though. Ms. Cannon was such a wonderful person, and I remember many Sunday afternoons of having lots of fun with her and Carolyn. You all will be in my prayers.
to all of you, your mother was such a blessing to everyone. she always had a kind word or thought for anyone .our church, her little sunday class, who loved her dearly will be at a loss without her but we all rejoice in knowing , she is with our Lord and Saviour. i will always remember my best friend saying if you don’t have anyone else to pray for, ‘pray for me. love your best friend, nancy
For those of you who don’t know who I am, I am Mary Lee’s granddaughter and Loretta’s daughter.
I don’t really have a lot of memories of Aunt June, but one that sticks out in my mind was about 20 yrs ago my Uncle Jackie and I flew up to North Carolina and then drove back to Texas and Aunt June came with us. I remember asking Aunt June if she wanted to go to the beach, and she asked what for. I told her would could catch some crabs and her reply was ‘oh God no I don’t want crabs’. She like my granny were very out spoken a trait I have greatfully inheritied. She will be greeted in heaven by granny and my mom. My prayers go out to you all.
