To the Cannon Family- My deepest sympathy at the loss of your precious husband, father and grandfather. I will always remember the smile that would cross Debbie’s face when we said, “You’re dad is here!” as he used to come for visits at the day program, SkillQuest. I will also always remember your generosity in letting my family enjoy your Outer Banks beach house one summer many years ago. Again, our hearts are heavy and if there is anything we can do, please don’t hesitate. God Bless
Bill and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always.
Love,
