Dear Hepburn Family:

Saw Marcus out at the Southwood Office complex for the State. He recognized me as a member of Good Shepherd and I recognized him as our Deacon. He baptised two of our grandchildren and we appreciated his service to the church.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. May God Bless you!

With Deepest Sympathy.
