Oh my Chrissy Poo, You have me deepest sympathy and condolences at this time. Daddy was truly a strong and amazing man. His legacy will forever be in the earth. ‘

In the brief times that I came encountered with him. His presence was unforgettable. He exemplified strength and mighty character at all times. Stayed looking neat and handsome. He wasn’t easily swayed either on silliness and he stayed steadfast in what he believed.

He was a man of wisdom and operated in Faith, Gods Grace and Love. Chris you and the family took such good care of your daddy during his time of need. While still caring for others around you.

Take heart, my Chrissy Poo and I love you my dear Chriss. The spirit of God is with you now and always forever more. ❤❤❤love you..best friend

Give my love to the entire family.

Rest In Peace Mr. Epps
