Not sure what to say?

I have been working with Epes for over five years now and although I never personally met his father, I know he was a special man just because of the type of person his son Epes is. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of need.

I am truely going to miss his letters.

All my sympathy,

I will miss corresponding with Richard about Canadian politics. He was always so interested in what was happening in other lands. He was a special friend of our family and we will miss him dearly. John and I send Martha and Epes our love and sympathy.

I was sorry to hear that Mr McMurran died. He was always so kind to my Mother and Father at Christopher Newport College and years later whenever we saw him. He was a good man... I will miss him. My condolences to his wife and family.

Epes--I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was always very kind to me when he came to Drake Cleaners. I will keep your family in my prayers. God bless each of you, Barbara E Tyner
