Remembering Mrs. Cannon today as an inspiring matriarch. I have fond memories of my time in the family home, 50 years ago. I know that all of her family and everyone who loved her continues to miss her.

I always looked forward to seeing Essie and speaking with her during meetings of organizations in which we both belonged. She is still missed and loved!

I extend my sympathy to the Cannon family. I will miss Soror Cannon. She was a joy and inspiration! While attending Eastmoor Senior High School I met Peter and he was a tribute to a strong bright women. I am sure she is walking around heaven today!

Our condolences and prayers go out to the Cannon Family.

Our love to the Cannon family. We will miss Essie, a life-long, dear family friend.

I'm going to miss my talks with my Great Aunt Essie. She was a beautiful woman. I miss her already. God bless the family.

On behalf of the Eddie L. Bowens Family of Middle, TN, I offer our sincere condolences and loving prayers during this painful time of bereavement due to the loss of Ms. Cannon.

Eddie and I only had the pleasure of sporadic encounters with her...most often at Cannon Family Reunions. We both agree that she made our family feel like "real" members of the Cannon Family! We will truly miss her at future...

Essie was a grand lady whose devotion to Christian ideals showed through in her daily contact with her church family and in so many other ways. We'll miss her warm smiles and her so sincere greetings of peace during liturgy. Joe and Pat Gibboney St Thomas Church
