ETTA
FRANCES HANEY ROMAN, born September 5, 1932 in Pampa, Texas awoke in
the arms of Jesus on Tuesday morning, July 17, 2007. Though her loss will
be deeply felt by her 3 children: John Roman and wife Sue, Catherine Epps
and husband Darrell, and Carolyn Leach and husband Steve, we rejoice that
she is now in the presence of her dear husband of almost 49 years, Richard
W. Roman, her mother, grandmother and first grandchild. We're sure now
that she is free of her breathing difficulties, she is revamping all of
Heaven's vegetable gardens, while Lady Bird Johnson works on the flowers.
What a pair! In the past few days, many friends have described Etta as a
"force of nature" and a true Texas lady. We couldn't agree more.
She was extremely petite but in physical size only; her love could
absolutely fill the room. After suffering through some extreme health
issues she was back...full of life and joy-her passions being her God, her
family, giving hugs and her garden. It was her garden that brought her
back to life and she most felt her Lord's presence amid her plants. There
will be a memorial service celebrating her life at Southwest Presbyterian
Church, 6033 S. Rice in Bellaire (713-432-0400) Saturday at 11 am with a
reception immediately following. The family wishes to honor her desire of
"flowers for the living rather than the dead" therefore
donations can be made for the medical care of her precious grandson, Iain
Epps, who suffered a severe brain injury. Checks should be made out to
Etta Roman, with Iain Epps name in the memo line and sent to Guaranty
Bank, Attn: Carlos Escamilla, 14703 Eagle Vista Dr., Houston, TX 77077.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Eagle's Trace who
treated her like a queen!
