Mattie, I will always miss your love and your love of life, and your great love of all the siblings that came out of the marriage of your mother, Mary Ella, and father, George Johnson. You were always there to provide support and were considered the matriarch of the extended family, the brothers, sisters, their offspring and on and on. You had a big heart, were always loving and acted with great insight and knowledge. We all loved you so much. I want to thank you for acting as a second mother to me when it was needed most. I will always miss you and have a special place in my heart for you. Good bye Mattie, I know that you have gone on to a better place and I will see you there in due time. My prayers are with the remaining family, especially Fred, Frances, Will, Ann Marie, Wade and Shirley, Rhonda, Randall, Kay and David, Kevin and the extended family members. Bless you all!~ RD Johnson Beaumont, Tx

I knew Mattie when she worked at Abingdon Harwood and that was many years ago. I remember her as a very kind and sweet person. I know Mattie's family will miss her sweet smile and her presence. My prayers are with her family.

TO ALL WHO LOVE MATTIE:
Memories
Memories are precious gifts
God gives to His own,
To help us thru this life
After a loved one has gone on.

May we treasure these memories
Deep within our hearts,
Till we meet with them again
Never more to part.
