Lil did i know when I kissed him on his cheek n said daddy I love you before i left for work it was gonna be the last time I ever seen him or got to say them words. i can never forget that numbNess i felt when my mother said to me when I came home from work that my father passed away. the lil bit of my heart that was still there shattered into a million and one shards. i miss you dearly daddy wish u were still here but it was ur time to go.

Hi Sweetheart
Well everything here is okay.We are all doing good.Well it is almost that time for me to be on my own once again i move on Feb 29th into my apt.The boys are going to help me move and so is lil Ruthie helping.I know i will be okay and i know it is going to be hard for a while but i am strong and i know i can do this.I have been very busy hanging out with sisko he has been a great friend and a shoulder to cry on and someone to scream at he has really taken a beating from me these last few months but that is what friends do for each other and he has been a real champ about all this i could not ask for a better friend then i have in Sisko. They say you never know who your real friends are until you need them and out of all my friends Sisko has stuck by me the most.So you were right when you said that Sisko is a great guy and i hope you can see just how he handles every bit of my anger and my tears.On a better note i sure miss you i miss you so bad that i dont think my heart will ever be the same.Honey i love you and No i am not ready to say goodbye just yet.Just know i miss very much.

Miss my daddy more and more every day. Wish u were here but u had to go. God needed you to help him up in heaven. But your not alone you have all the love ones that we had already lost. Just like old times your living like a star. You were the best day any girl could have asked for. Now only if I could find someone like you in this world to love and care got me just like you. So I ask for this one thing find the one and send him my way. Love your one and only little girl.

Uncle Ed,
The last thing you said to me was Take a Break, and the funniest part was that i didn't even start fixing the brakes on your car. You were a funny old man, and well never forget all the funny things you have said. You will be missed a whole lot. RIP to the funniest Uncle!

Dear Eddie,
The things about Eddie that i loved was he always new how to make someones life a little bit more funny. He was a comedian like no other, from the time when we went to Florida,to the point of him giving me the nickname old lady Hughes. Everything that Eddie did he was in high spirits, you'll never see that man not happy. I will miss you Eddie, we all miss you!

Dear Uncle Eddie,
I didn't get to know you, the way i wish i could of, now i don't have the chance too. You were special to many and loved bye many, and you will be truly missed. I don't really have a memory with you, but if there was one thing that i do remember is that you were always the one to make someone laugh. You cared so much about your family, and the lost of you has broken many hearts. But one day will all be together again...as a family. I know your in good hands. Just wait for us Uncle Eddie outside the gates of heaven so one day our family will meet you there and go in together to meet the lord. I love you Uncle Eddie you are truly missed and You'll never be forgotten. RIP<3

RICHARD N CANNON JR

December 16, 2011

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Continues as found memories that we all share..
Thou you're not here in presence, you're always here in spirit, through family and friends..
Living on forever, in our hearts..
My deepest sympathy to my extended family.. Pop, Dad..you'll always be missed & loved!!

Words, however kind,
can't mend your heartache:
but those who care and
share your loss wish you
comfort and peace of mind.

It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

Every night at bedtime, your Blonde and your Demon ask for their pop pop. My heart breaks that you can't be here to share all of the moments of school and life they still have yet to adventure into.
All we have are pictures, memories and stories, but trust me, your legacy will live on. We miss you so much already Pop.
