I have known Maria Epp since 1963 formally but informally I have known her all my life. Her goodness, presence and knowing wherewithal was timeless. Mika was highly intelligent, leeftolich and the essence of selfless compassion. Her presence was caring love, which touched many and will remain forever. Ruhe sanft! - Posted by: Jack Thiessen (friend and relative Mennonite style) on: Apr 10, 2015

I am so sorry to hear of dear Mika's passing. She was a wonderful, thoughtful, and cheery person whom I had the privilege of getting to know on our tour to the USSR. I thought of her often. I know you, the family, will miss her greatly. - Posted by: Helene (Fellow traveller, 1990) on: Apr 09, 2015
