Next Summer we would have had our wedding day

Thats when our family would start

But now I only have momories I hold dear to my heart

you told me you love me & that made my day

Now I'll never hear those words because your gone away

As the tears wet my pillow at night

It's because your not here to hold me tight

A'Kiara ask where's my daddy

All I can say is in heaven

Even though she wasn't your blood

You showed her much love with kisses and hugs

Thank you for loving me and all the memories Boo!

Never forget I love you!!!!!

Jackie, You have my true sympathy in the lost of your son. My prayers will always be with you. I wish to leave you with a poem that helped me a lot when my son passed unexpectedly and sudden.



I know now what I must do.

Find you within me, you who

have died and left me, and face

you and your leaving, and

hold you with me long enough,

this time, to say my own good-

bye to you in my own way,

taking as long as I need to

take.



- - Alla Bozarth-Campbell.



Please know that I am just down the hallway if ever you need a shoulder to lean on.

TO THE FAMILY OF LATE JEMONE TERRELL "JT" EPPS



You and your family have our deepest sympathy of our son, brother and father. We will always keep you and your family in our prayers and thoughts during this very difficult time.



"MISS HIM, BUT LET HIM GO"



When I come to the end of the road,

And the sun has set for me,

I want no rites in a gloom filled room.

Why cry for a soul set FREE?

Miss him a little while, but not too long,

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that was once shared,

Miss him, but let him go

This is a journey that we all nust take, and each of us must go alone,

It's all a part of the master plan,

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart, go to a friend you know

And bury all your sorrows in doing good deeds,

MISS HIM, BUT LET HIM GO.

Please accept my deepest sympathy!



I just wanted to let you all know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know that it is hard to understand right now, why God took JT away but believe me, he is in a better place.



Don't cry because you will see JT again one day and he is watching you right now.



Think of the good times that you have shared with JT and be thankful that you are able to remember any times at all.



Eboni, I know that we don't talk that often but always know that Lil Baby and I are here if you need us. JT is still with you. He will be in your heart forever!



JT,

R.I.P.

You will truly be missed.

To The Epps Family and Eboni Haskell,



Accept My Sympathy



At a time like this it's oh so hard; To know just what to say. For I know inside you're hurting; In a very painful way.



Please know that I am with you; You are in my thoughts and prayers. And know that I am one of many; Who feels for you and cares.



Just know that Jay-Tee has now gone on home; And their in a better place. And he has seen the Lord above; and the light from his sweet grace.



In time the pain will fade away; Along with all your tears. And you will smile once again; On shared memories from past years.



Always know that you are in my prayers,

Andrea T. Quarles

The Epps & Garner Family,

The passing of a loved one is never easy. But grieve and trust in the Lord. Shed a tear in J.T.'s memory. For now he has went home to the promise land - where he will prepare a place for his family & friends. He'll always be kept in mind and spirt. May his will live on through his sons (Jaymontre & Tyquan). My deepest condolences goes out to the family & friends.
