Dear Brother Herb, Uncle Bill and all the rest of the family,
I am so sorry I could not be at the funeral for Aunt Mattie. I have so many fond memories of her and her sweet smile. She was so good to me and my dad. We will miss her.
Love, Mary Susan

Dear Herb, Burnley, Martha, Kathy, Lori and Bill,
I am deeply saddened to learn of Aunt Mattie's passing. I remember her as a sweet, gentle, quiet and very loving lady. I don't ever remember her speaking a cross word or raising her voice to anyone. She was beautiful both on the inside and out. Our families shared some wonderful times together. Burnley, I still have pictures of you and I at my first birthday party on Chesapeake St., where I lived as a little girl. One of the girls, and I think it was you, Lori, who use to get my father and yours mixed up because they looked so much alike, and you would call him Daddy.
She will be missed by those who knew, loved and cared for her. I, too, will share in this loss even though I have not seen her in many years, but have been in touch by email and phone calls to Herb.
Bill, I know you will miss your sister very much. Thank you for helping me regain contact with the family once again.
There will be a big void in your lives without her being with you, but you have so many wonderful memories of her to hold in your hearts forever. I have some myself.
And, last but not least....to you Herb. Thank you for the love and care you gave to Aunt Mattie for the past 6 plus years. I am so grateful you both found each other and were able to share this time together. Even though we have only spoken by phone or through email, I feel I have known you a long time.
I wish I could be there with the family, but unfortunately I can't. Please know that you and your families will be in my thoughts and prayers.
May God give you peace during this time.
With love and deepest sympathy.
