Our mom, Tiena Epp, who loved Jesus and loved her family, passed peacefully into heaven on Wednesday June 8th, 2022. As we began to say our farewells, our tears were mixed with rejoicing and praise as she leaves a legacy of faith and love which she passed on to her children; Elvina (Bob) Parker, Debra (Steve) Mowers, Valerie (Ron) Hellwig, Freddie (Rod) Gelleny, Alfred (Laura) Epp; her 14 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Our hearts are filled with our memories - so many of them contain so much laughter - and we would like to thank everyone for their expressions of love, comfort and support during this time in our lives.
Our family has chosen to honor our mom in a private service at a later date.
Mom’s favorite verse; Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
First Place ~ Adapted from the song by E. Inman
The first place I saw Jesus
Was in my mother’s eyes
The first time I heard Jesus
Was in her lullaby
Tenderly she cared for me with love and gentleness
The love of God she gave to me
And I know that I am blessed
Memories from childhood are often on my mind
Of special moments with my mom
Forever treasured time
The life she lived each day
Showed me Heaven’s way
She loved the Lord with all her heart
That’s why I can say
The first place I saw Jesus
Was in my mother’s eyes.
Now we all have children of our very own
With sparkling eyes and a happy smile
I can’t believe they’ve grown
I pray to God the life I live
Will show to them the way
That they will love the Lord with all their heart
And one day they will say
The first time I felt Jesus
Was when I heard her pray
And I’m thankful for my mother
Who loved me everyday.
