Rhonda June Epperson - Online Memorial Website

Time seems to fly by way too fast, as it seems as though it was only yesterday when I was chasing you down the hall and you fell and hit your head.  I got in so much trouble, but it did not matter, as I was just so happy you were going to be okay. I sit here and think about all the years we missed due to the circumstances of life, but then I also remember how much I loved each moment we had.  I never told you how much you meant to me often enough.  Now as I think about your life I truly know that you are in Heaven and that you are getting to know your niece and that you are holding her for me. I miss her so much Sis, just as I miss you.  Please give her an extra hug from me and tell her that I love her and miss her.  God took you both way too early and you both were so much alike in so many ways.  I can even see the same charateristics in your faces and smiles. I am so sorry that we did not have the closeness that we both deserved Sis, but I will continue to wait for the day when I can hold you both again.  Life teaches us the lessons we forget to learn along the way, and sometimes in the hardest ways.  

I love you Sis, give my girl a hug and have her give one from me to you.  Know that you both mean the world to me and that I miss you everyday of my life.

Your sister, Robyn 

Mom,

I love you so much. Not a day goes by I don't think of all the memories. You would be so happy with how far I've come in my life. I know you taught me to find the strength. Its crazy to look through all the pictures and think of how much has changed. So many different chapters in our lives. I think of you today, tomorrow and forever.

Mom, you raised us to always be there for one another and never turn away but since you have been gone it seems we have lost sight of that important lesson. Now Josh is putting down our familys name and walking away to his newfound family and my heart is breaking. There is nothing I can do but let him do what he feels is best. Mom, I miss your hugs...I miss you just holding me and making it all better. I miss my very best friend who could just reach out to me. I am doing my best to know that this too shall pass...please just hold me in your arms and help me to be a strong woman as you raised me to be. I love you and my heart aches for you every day of my life.

Mom, I remember sitting in the yard talking about Audrey and us searching for hours online to find her and now it has happened. It is amazing mom, she looks so much like you and she is pretty great. We talk often and I feel more complete with her in my life. I wish you could have shared in these moments with us but I know you are with us each step of the way. Thank you for keeping her memory alive for us and always making her a big part of our lives cuz it has been a journey. We will take good care of your oldest daughter mom. I love you!

Well, yesterday was yet another Thanksgiving without you. I cried after Aunt Reba called. I was grateful but it reminded me that it won't be you calling me....telling me the potatoes are almost ready and to not forget to bring some clothes for the kids and maybe we can all have a sleep over. I am doing so well in my life but still struggling with figuring out who I am. It hurts to not have your advice or just your support. I love you more than words can express and I will never let your memory fade....forever in my heart and forever part of my being....your little girl. Mel Mel

Sis, I miss you so much. It almost been 3 years since you took your last breath. I had hoped so much that you and I could have grown closer after mom passed over, but God had other plans. I never really got to know you due to our mothers ill will. I always loved you even though i never got to tell you so. One time I came to visit mom and you and Reba took me off to her bedroom and you ask me if my husband (leland) was abusing me. I told you no because I was so ashamed, but somehow you knew something no one else knew. I hid it so well. I hadn't seen you in so many years, but you seen inside my soul like no one else did at that time. I wish that I could have shared with you then how bad things were going, but I was to ashamed. Now I don't have you to talk with. I talk with your brother Alan always and we remember you.  I love you, your big sister(not)

Mom,

   I was just sitting here thinking about all the times I was crying and I could pick up the phone and just call and you would just listen. You never got mad or told me what to do, you just listened and sometimes you'd even offer to come over. You would ride the bus across town and everything just to hold me. I miss that undying, unconditional, I will do anything for you kind of love. Once you died, I lost so much happiness and as I sit here trying to get it all back, I just want to pick up that phone!! I hate that too many times in life, you can't change things, until its too late!! I love and miss you! I wish you were here......

Mom, I miss you so much! I think about the warmth of your big bear hugs, and it makes me smile. You blessed me even in death by showing me that life is too short. I have found a wonderful man who treats me the way I deserve to be treated. He held me as I cried and kissed my tears away. Thank you for helping me to move on in a way noone else could. You would absolutely love Ethan and his goofy self. He is soo fun and Lilly has adjusted so well to sisterhood, helping and loving with her baby brother. Well, mom, your grandson is trying to get me off the computer so, know I am thinking about you and I love you!

I was talking to Melanie and she's changing so much! You would be so proud of her. I know you are watching over her and taking care of her. Thank you for giving me my best friend back when I needed her most :) I wish you could meet my Brian too, you'd love him!! Both of your girls are finally happy!!!

We miss you and love you :)

Aunt Rhonda,

 

My, how I called you that before you were really my aunt! Who knew we'd end up being family? Sometimes family is what you make it! You were my family and there for me when things got rough. You always had my back. Thank you for being there when I was growing up. I know things got rough and things were hard between us, but I always prayed and I will always love you.

 

 

It's so sad that you are gone! Ethan's adorable! I know you would have

been a great Grandma to him! We miss you!

 

Love,

Apes

Mom,
   It feels like yesterday I was sitting in the back yard playing and talking as Lilly ran around making us be soo silly. I miss you so much. I dont know how to go through this without you. You were such a great grandma.....how can I have a baby without you. It is so sad, there will be no wonderful woman to teach my child what true love is like you did for lilly. I know we can do it...but, how do I do this without my mom???????????
I miss you soo much, please know I love you!!

Mom, I was just sitting here thinking of you right now, missing you so much. I sit here listening to Ray Boltz and I can still picture you in all your beauty. You would hold our hands tight, close your eyes and sing the words to this song. At the time, as young teens, we thought it was lame but, now, more than ever I wish I was sitting here with you holding my hand. I thank you for those times, you didnt worry about what anyone though you just loved the Lord. You are an amazing woman, I am so glad you gave:)
