Dear Gloria,
Oh my, Jim and I were so sad to learn about Bob's passing. Kathy Farr had kept us "in the loop" and we were once again out of town for Bob's service. You and Bob have been an inspirational partnership. Your and Bob's life accomplishments are pretty incredible! We are so sorry for your loss and will have you in our prayers.
Love, Melinda and Jim Ethier

Bob will be greatly missed. I shared his passion for nature photography and so enjoyed his willingness to share his experiences. I envied his love for life and his ability to travel and photograph the country. What a wonderful journey with Gloria for 56 years.

As a participant in the AMHA Youth program I was very lucky to be able to meet Mr. and Mrs. Epperson. I sent them weekly postcards from my Youth of the Year trip to England. Their dedication to the Morgan breed and the youth of the breed has made an indelible impact on my life. I am saddened to hear of this loss, but I hope that Mrs. Epperson knows that she and her husband have made a lasting impression on the world.

My husband, Bob and myself certainly enjoyed meeting Bob and Gloria, through the AMHA. Bob was a very special person, as is Gloria. Our Bobs served on Morgan Horse show committees together. It was always fun being with Bob.
My Bob, Bob McLemore, died Nov. 24,2006, on our 46th wedding anniversary. I miss him so. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Gloria and Steve.
