Mary Faye & Family,
Carl and I extend our deepest sympathy to ALL of you. Maurice was a wonderful first cousin. He always had a great meaninguful life story to tell that would immediately capture your interest. May God give you the peace and comfort that you need during this difficult time. I thank God for Maurice's Christian life and the legacy he left for all that knew him.
May God bless you all! Mary Ann (Graham) Epperson
