I am so blessed to have known both Mr. and Mrs. Espy when I attended Mercer University 90-94, they both were such beautiful people. I am truly sadden, but I know she is glad. What a beautiful Christmas gift to be in the arms of Jesus! Rest on 'Thou Good and Faithful Servant.'

Macon has lost a remarkable woman who left her mark on hundreds of students while making her community a better place to live.  She set the pace for devotion to duty -- a devotion marked by an enthusiastic, warm embrace of the task at hand. It was a privilege to know her.  Nancy Anderson

Mrs. Espy was the principal at Central when I went back to teaching in 1994.  She ran the school with the ultimate professionalism and efficiency.  I think every student, every faculty member felt loved and supported by Mrs. Espy--I certainly did.  I am in awe of her great love and her abilities as a leader in education.  I am a better person for having known her.  Thank you, Mrs. Espy
