Dear Mrs. Espey,

We sadly heard of your loss thru my friend Donna (Corpening) Horton. I have fond memory of meeting Dr. Espey along with the family during summer of 1983 in your house. Since then I knew lot of him thru your son and my friend Ned. Dr. Espey had told me that I was first Nepali to have visited his house and expressed what a joy that was - a very warm reception for me by chance, although, the way he was, he would easily find another way to connect and touch my...

Dear Espey family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. I just learned of Dr. Espey's death yesterday from my father. Together, we reminisced all that Dr. Espey has meant to our family -- a treasured friend and beloved physician. And through his friendship, we've had the blessing of getting to know your family; for that, we're thankful as well.

Dr. Espey was head of the most interesting and loving family I have had the honor to know for many years. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant!" Matthew: Chapter 25

To the Espey family,
What fun I had working with Dr Espey and LaVerne! I will cherish those memories always. My sympathies go out to all of you. May God be with you in this time of sorrow.

Dr. Espey was a great guy with a very rye sense of humor. I always enjoyed speaking with him. He gave me advice when marrying Linda Mull, "Now you treat her right." I replied, "'Yes sir!"

May he rest in peace.
