Mr. Eppsâ€¦ Mrs. Ann was a beautiful person that I am proud to say that I knew.  I always felt a sense of peace when she would come to the airport  and share a moment with each of us.  I am sorry for your loss.

To the family -- I'm so sorry you lost Ann.  She lived life with grace and dignity  and seemed, to me, to be the heartbeat of the family. I know her wisdom and quiet strength will be sorely missed.  By God's grace, may you find the strength you need to get through this dark time.

To the family- I just heard and I am so sad for all of you and feel so  lucky to have known her...sending lots of hugs and prayers to you all...and I hope each day gets just a little easier.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Epps family.

The worship service was beautiful - a wonderful tribute to Ann and the life she lived. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.

I have to agree that the last time I saw that many people, was at a GA game. Ann was a kind, warm Southern lady - she will be remembered in our minds and hearts for a long, long time. She will be missed.

I've been away from Athens for many years, but I will always remember both of you, especially Ann's sparkling eyes and vibrant smile!  What a joy she must have been to all of you.  You have some wonderful memories!

Pat, Marian, and family, I am speechless in trying to describe my sorrow of Ann's passing.  Her's is the face of the gentile southern woman the times we have visited and the mother of my "Atlanta family" whom we have come to love so very very much.  We grieve for your loss and pray that God will soothe your pain with beautiful memories & dreams of her.

Mrs. Epps was the sweetest little lady with the biggest heart and the biggest smile. My thoughts and prayers going out to the whole Epps family and to all my co-workers. We will never forget her!

Heartfelt sorrows to the family. Miss Ann was a very special person who touched so many.She will be missed by all.

May God bless Pat and his family now that Ann has gone to be with God.

At our last family reunion, a gathering that has been happening for 50 years, she made sure to pass out her latest endeavor: a reprinted copy of the Epps family cookbook that included many recipes from my husband (her nephew)'s late mother. It is so special to me. She always had a story to share about a grand adventure she had just taken. Her life inspired me-and still does.

Pat and family, we share your sorrow and will miss your sweet wife and mother.  Our payers are with you during these times of grief.  Ann's life of pleasant memories will endure on this earth, which is a better place because of her smile and love.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Roman 15:4

It's always difficult to loose a family member. It seems there are fewer and fewer of us every day. However, we cherish the new ones that come behind us and remember and are grateful for the ones that came before us.  Thinking of you, Pat and all your family.

I send my prayers of love to Pat, all the Epps family, and to the wonderful team at Epps Aviation. Fly with the Angels, Mrs. Epps.  You were a beautiful, graceful lady.   
Patty Watson Kovacevich

My prayers and thoughts are with the Epps family.  I met her at the Ben Epps  dedication in Athens.  Frank and Sue, I am so sorry in the loss of your sister.
