He taught us how to laugh,
He taught us how to cry,
He taught us how to live, and
finally how to die....
Love the man whose funds silently founded the success of ALL.
A true hero...A true friend I miss daily...

Dearest Mr. Maurice Epstein

I will never forget you!
You will live in my memory until the end!
You were a unique and special person!
You were very thoughtful, understanding, loving, caring!
You had a special way of understanding the nature of being human!
I never met anyone in my life who had the patience that you had!
You taught me lessons that no one had!
You taught me to be patient and to learn how to wait for the right moments in life!
You believed in me when no one else did!
You were there for me when no else was!
You were and will always be a guiding soul in my life!
You helped those who needed help and advise!
The best gift you had to share was your wisdom and your wonderful mind!
You were a living treasure in this world!
Every person that met you was always touched by your wisdom about life!
You were a truthful and unconditional friend!
You were so proud of your beautiful family!
You were the most precious person that I have ever met in my life!!
You will be in my prayers every night!
