TO THE FAMILY OF MARY EPPS, I MET MARY AT PONDEROSA WHILE DINING WITH MY MOTHER WHO THOUGHT A LOT OF HER. MARY AND MY MOTHER (LILLIE CLAIBORNE) WORKED TOGETHER FOR YEARS AT AUNT SARAHS. EVERY SINCE THAT DAY WHENEVER I VISITED PONDEROSA AND IF MARY WAS WORKING SHE ALWAYS HAD A KIND WORD. I REALIZE THE LOSS OF A LOVE ONE IS NEVER EASY AND AS TIME PASSES SOME DAYS WILL BE BETTER THAN OTHERS. CHERISH THE GOOD TIMES AND PLEASANT MEMORIES AND FIND CONDOLENCE IN KNOWING MARY NOW HAS HER WINGS. HALLELUJAH!
