My condolences on the passing of your dear mother, and grandmother, Delphine.

As the priest chaplain at Columbia St. Mary's hospital for 12 years, 1998-2000, I got to know her through her coming to Mass, in the chapels, alone or with a number of good friends. She was a remarkably faithful Catholic Christian, who always had a smile and a good word.

May she rest in peace, and, may you cherish those many wonderful memories.

Peace,

Fr. Eugene Pcoernich

Delphine was one of those people we feel so grateful to have met in life. I knew Delphine from my work with the Sunday morning Villa Terrace Cafe from its inception through to 2009 and as a co-member of the Board of the Friends of VT. Delphine had a sharp mine and the ability to express opinions in an honest, kind and humorous way. I never meet the Cannon offspring but I had an eye into that home from Delphine's little stories and observations. We live in Spain much of the time now and last enjoyed dinner together the summer of 2015, a great time as always. My husband, Ric Birch, joins me in our condolences to the Cannon family.

I cannot say enough about your mother. She was present in our lives for over fifty years; first, as a friend to my mother Anne McGee Shaughnessy, then, to my stepmother Genevieve Hayes Shaughnessy. Please carry on her traditions of warmth and compassion, and know that we all valued the friendship and love she shared. My best, Mary Jo Shaughnessy Murphy

Best wishes and Good Vibes to Chris and the entire Cannon family on the loss of a truly great woman. Delphine was a wise, smart, sophisticated person who commanded respect not by power or force but by decency and acumen. She raised a wonderful family and leaves and indelible mark on her community and on the people who were lucky enough to know her personally. I know all of us will miss her bright presence.

Condolences to the Cannon Family on the loss of your wonderful mother. I can remember many fond memories walking back and fourth to school and stopping at the Cannon house,to meet up with Peter and a smiling Mrs Cannon always there to greet you and remind you that we were already late for school. Sorry we were unable to attend, we are down in Florida. My Father, sends his condolences and says Saturday mass at ST Roberts, just wont be the same. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Delphine was a dear, long time friend. Strong and forthright, yet always gracious and mindful of the feelings of others, she was an amazing woman, an inspiration and role model, and she will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers go out to the Cannon Family. Marilyn Giaimo
