Kara Shara Kern Mattern

Dear Val and Deedee, and Grand Children and family members:
I am so very sorry to hear today these tragic news. How very sad for all those left behind that your Mom passed away, but thank the L-rd she knew Him and is now in His presence! Imagine!... Be strong! I'll be in touch.
I love you!

Your Mother was a generous, kind, and loving person. She always helped people and opened her home and her heart to others. She was a great cook and a wonderful friend. Her beading and needlepoint were first class. We will all miss her and her generosity. (Ruth Rhodes)
Years ago at TU, Shara and Bill played cards with my father-in-law, Sam Taylor and wife Nelle. Sam sends his sympathy as well. May God bless you.

Shara and I are members of Delta Zeta Sorority, Golden Roses, meaning we have been members for over 50 yrs. I always admired her great talents and her loving, sincere concern for her friends and family. We will all miss her presence in our lives. She was truly our "sister".

Family of Shara Mattern,
I met Shara many years ago through our love for stitching. Shara, Sis, Liz, Mary Lou and myself would go to lunch every month after our EGO meeting on Monday's. Shara was the most loving and sharing of her knowledge for needlework. Mary Lou and myself live in Oklahoma City and could not attend the services today. We will miss Shara so very much. Her children were the love of her life she mentioned you often.
Love to her children and grandchildren.
Frances...

Dear Familu of Shara
I met Shara at the Oklahoma Bead Society two almost three years ago when I moved to Musakogee from Chicago. She and I shared many a talk about Chicago when we were at the bead meetings, She was a joy to know. We would laugh over her frogs and my turtles. My deepest sympathies.

Mrs. Mattern,

You were always the one who recieved as your friends Valerie's friends. My Mom and I were at your holiday table each year and you were our family. We were a part of your family. I knew how to clean up in your kitchen like I belonged there, which I did.

I remember you and Mr. Mattern talking lovingly back and forth about golf and various neighborhood and country club friends. You expressed here a scope of admirable abilities in a person that now heaven is...
