To all of our family,
Aunt Eppie was the most wonderful, loving, God-fearing woman, family, and friend that any of us could ever have known. We miss her deeply, but we know she is with God and our family and love ones who've gone on before and happy that her pain and suffering are ended. We love her as we love you all!!!
John, Christy and family

To the whole family. I will keep everyone of you in my prayers as we all grief for our loss. I loved Mawmaw so much. She was such a delight to be around and she meant so much to me. I'll remember all the times I shared with her, and I'll cherish all the things she made me, gave me. And all she did for us. Thanks for the recipes too. But most of all. I just want to say thank you to her for the love she gave me and our children/ grandchildren. I'll miss you Mawmaw and I love you very much.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. Some of my very best memories of being a little girl are about Aunt Eppie. I loved your Momma. I wish I could be there with you but I can't make the trip. Please know I'll be with you in my prayers and my thoughts.

We are deeply saddened by Aunt Eppie's passing. She was some cook and a lively person to be around.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
