Therese Hepburn Obituary
Over the weekend, those who knew her best described her as a woman of wit, laughter and dedication. Hepburn was a dancer, model, actor and musician.
Her mother and other close family members were at her bedside when she passed, The Nassau Guardian understands.
Hepburn spent most of her life on the stage, but it wasn't until meeting up with Kirkland 'KB' Bodie in late 1999 that she began her music career. Hepburn's more popular songs include "Mr. Bus Driver", "You Ga Talk It", "Service Man" and "Sugar Shack".

When things like this occur you can never get used to it,but what's comforting is to know that God cares and, as the creator of all living creatures he has, the power, and desire, to restore life to someone who has died. ( Psalms 36 : 9 ) How wonderful!

Condolences go out to the Hepburn family on the passing of their loved one. Rezzy was a beautiful person, inside and out.I first met her in 1988 when she came to Bimini with my sister and friends for a fashion show and she performed her first single.We became fast friends eventhough we didn't see each other often but when we did, we had a good time. So glad to have spent some time with her and her sister and the dancers when they were here for Homecoming 2012. The girls loved you so much. Sleep on dear friend, take your rest in the arms of our Saviour.

On Behalf of the Bahamas Constitution Party, I wish to convey my sympathies to the family of Therese 'T'rez' Hepburn. She was an icon of Bahamian entertainment and a joy to watch, as she sang with such pleasantness. May you the family find peace in the midst of this tragic lost. And know that she is out of pain, and in a better place. May she rest in Peace.

We had the pleasure of sitting and talking with T'Rez mother and son while our sister was also in ICU at Doctors Hospital. It is never easy when a loved one dies. You always wish as a parent that you die before your child, but God is all wise and His perfect will be done. We may never understand His ways, but we can trust His heart. He saw the future and He called her home. We send prayers up to God for your continued strength and covering and we send condolences to all of you. T'Rez was a loving person. She always gave her all to whatever she did. Having just buried our sister, we can share in your pain. God bless you and may He keep you in the hollow of His hands.

•When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still.
•What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.R.I.P. Trez
