    Ray, Billy, Vic, Susan and Sharon, Your precious Mama is resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior. She was one of the finest women that I have had the privilege of being loved by. I loved her with all my heart and soul. She was there for me whenever I needed to talk, cry or laugh. She was certainly one of a kind. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m here if you need me for anything. I love all of you very much. Laren

    To all the Eppers family and sweet Millie Lou, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Auntie was an amazing soul. She always had a smile and a warm hug. I was so blessed to have known such a wonderful woman. She always made me feel special each time I was around her. Mary Ann is now reunited with her beloved husband, parents and siblings. May the Lord ease the pain of the ones left behind. – Sherri Gibson Makrigeorgis
