Not sure what to say?





Susan and Wayne - Sorry to hear about your mother. She was such a good friend to us! Spent a lot of evenings sitting in their yard laughing and sharing stories over a cold beer. Also many nights checking heifers and blinking our porch lights at each other. Great memories of her musical talent both on the organ at church and playing the guitar. Your folks were the best neighbors ever!!! Kelly, Randy, Anna and Ira

Susan and Wayne, we send our love and condolences. Your mom was a wonderful person. When Lydia and I first visited in 1976, she really made us feel welcome and at home (as you all did!). Eternal rest grant unto her, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.

I'm a neighbor up the road, and am glad to have given Ms. Eppich a picture of her favorite tree (a badly misshapen broken-back ponderosa pine on the Eppich property north of Weber Reservoir. I wish her peace in Heaven, and comfort to her family.

I am so sorry for your loss. My mom, Sally Martinez worked with Evelyn for years at the school cafeteria. I can remember going out to get fresh milk at her house and seeing her beautiful flowers. Your mom was always such a happy lady she will be missed.
