Hannah Lou Johnson Mathis

Mom ... It is a Year today since you went to be with God....I miss you terribly!!! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you - I am sure GOD tells you that :). Whitney, Ryan and I are so blessed to have had you in our lives and the love we all shared. I know your in a better place - among angels :) I love you so much. God Bless :)

Our mom's birthday was September 30th and that was a very hard day to handle - 1st time in my life that I have not got to talk to her on her birthday.....very hard still and not a day goes by that I don't think about her and the love I felt for her. I truly believe she is dancing with the angels beside God.

Mom,
I will miss you every day. Thank you for giving me life, love and the respect of others. Hopefully, I will be able to teach the same to my children. In the end, you raised five wonderful children who are better for everything you were able to do for us.
I know in the end we will all meet again in heaven.
I love you,
Kenny
