Mrs Matherly,Angie and a family. I have known Angie for a lifetime it seems. But I only knew Mr. Matherly for 3 years. He was such a wonderful man and always smiled even during rough times. He was so proud of you all. He was a person whom I had grown very fond of. Now he is resting with the Lord. You all will be in my prayers and my God grant you peace in the days to come.

Bobbi, children and grandchildren, Our prayers will always be with you during your time of bereavement and know that your family and friends are wrapping you up with their love. Jerry will be missed, this verse of the Bible is one that brought him to mind. He loved to dance and he loved music; "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:...a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and time to dance." Ecclesiastes 3:1,4. He's touring that city with the Lord today while he sings and dances in the heavenly places. Jerry loved each of you and his presence will always be near in the legacy and memories he left behind. God's grace is abounding right now for each of you because His grace is suffient for all things and His love is abounding and true. He will never leave nor forsake you. The Lord is your Rock during this time and when you need the strength the most He will be there with you. We love you, John and Brenda Gammon
