Dear Helen and Andrew,
I was sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She will be remembered as a very distinguished lady who dressed fashionably and had perfectly quaffed white hair. She made a la natural popular I'm sure. I always wished for my gray hair to look just like hers.
Blessings to the family.

To the family of Andrew C Epps on the passing of your Mother - Grandmother. I have enjoyed the special honor of working for and with Mr Epps through our association in HUD. I have enjoyed being honored to be within the friendship network of Mr Epps. An especially fine and heroic person and one who certainly embodied the special qualities that had to be part of the personalities of both Mr. Epps Sr and Mrs. Helen Epps. Peace to you in this time of transition and may Mrs. Epps now enjoy God's eternal presence with Mr. Epps Sr - forever.
