A life well-lived is like a powerful work of Art, Beautifully created and remembered by All. Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Although I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in he presence of my enemies ;you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall[ follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever Amen. Rest In Peace My Friend
I remember Wanda as a sweet, kind classmate. She had a beautiful smile. My sincere condolences to the Cannon family. May God comfort you during this difficult time.
We're praying for the families and sorry to hear about the passing of Wanda. We were neighbors back in the days and would shoot hoops(all of her siblings too) at the community goal as well as played on the Lady Hornets basketball team together for a couple of years. The community basketball goal was a hot spot in the early seventies, weekends it was packed there,people was coming from miles away to play three on three or to shoot around for fun, matter of fact that's where I learned my thumping skills, practicing, but I realized I was a thumper at eleven years old actually. This has really touched my heart. Rest in peace Wand. 🕊️🕊️
All of the memories I have of you are accompanied by your beautiful smile—you always smiled. I count it joy to have had the opportunity to be in your presence and to say that I've known you.
Gabby and Charlie, you all and your family will remain in my prayers. Rest on Ms. Wanda.
My sincere condolences to the family. Keeping you all in my prayers.
