Dear Sweet Miss Mattie
So strong and so kind
Full of God's Spirit
Renewing her mind
Hope in the Savior
Willing to share
Through word and through song
Revealing God's care
Her fun sense of humor
Good manners and grace
Are fond memories
Like the smile on her face
Quick to speak Truth
Always ready to pray
Praise God, she is with Him
As we miss her today!!
Our Prayers of comfort to Miss Mattie's loving family. My children and I will truly miss visiting her in the nursing home--but we too have wonderful memories to bring comfort and joy!
Peace and Love in Christ,
Betsy Booth and Family

To Marvin and Family :I remember when Aunt Mattie married Uncle Curly, and I remember how she was always willing to go the extra mile. So many memories I have of her and her nieces Sharon and Stephanie. I think back and laugh about the trip we took to the bowling alley. I pray the memories you have of Aunt Mattie comforts you during this terrible time. I pray that GOD wraps his arms around you. God Bless.
