To the entire Cannaday family my condolences going out to you. I was very surprised to hear of your passing. I received a phone call the day it happened and I am still in disbelief. I know he is peacefully sleeping until his Father comes to awaken him. I will treasure the 30 years of friendship that we had. Always remembering the sense of humor that would be a joyous addition to anyones day. Love you and missing you my brother.

To Mr. Lee Cannaday's family, We were so sadden to hear that Brother "Lee" had passed and at the same time filled with joy. Just meeting him a few weeks ago at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church as he played and sang for our congregation, he had spirit that uplifted and moved us to tears with the angelic voice that God blessed him with. His presence made people smile. So we will smile for him because we know he has joined the kingdom's choir and is playing and singing his beautiful melodies in heaven. Everytime we think of him we will smile. We thank God and you for allowing us to get to know him for such a short moment in time.
