To the Cannon family,
Our sincere condolences as you say goodbye to Mike. We have a lot of good memories as a neighbour and a friend to Mike. We were so blessed to have both him and Chuck build our house on the farm and then return for a few renovations over the years. He will be missed by all that knew him.
Regrettably, we will not be able to attend the celebration of life.
Hugs to all.
So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Your dad always had a smile and an easy way about him. So glad we got to know him. He will be missed
Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences for the loss of Mike. I can’t imagine a family with now two siblings missing! It’s unbelievable the loss leading up to their passing, but even harder as you walk on without them. The world goes on, as it should, and there are heartfelt, reaching out of support but the hole they leave is heart breaking and I don’t know anyway to fill that hole.
May God bless you all and strongly support each of you as you grieve yet again. It is comforting to know He will be returning someday soon and we will be reunited with our loved ones.in Chrst.
