To God Be the Glory. Eppi was a very nice person. I have never heard him cuss, or even raise his voice. He always had a unique smile on his face. He often did work for us. We would ask him how much he charged and he without any hesitation would say, "Whatever you give me." I trust you." He will truly be missed by everyone here in East Chicago.

To Dear and the Entire Family
Eppi was an icon in East Chicago Harbor. We all loved him. What I liked about him was that he was so humble. And that is an true attribute of Jesus Christ our Savior. Your family and and well as the rest of us has been blessed to have Eppi in our lives, and we thank God for that gift. You be blessed and encouraged family. God is in total control

To Miss Minnie, Rev. Shirley, and the entire Bailey Family,
I know you loved Eppi, and so did I, but God loved him more. He was my friend and brother, and I will miss him dearly. As Christians, we know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, so may he rest in the bosom of the Lord.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Bailey Family,
Eppi was a light that shined in so many people lives and that light was put out to soon for us here on earth. His physical presence will be sadly missed but his caring and lovely spirit will NEVER be forgotten.
