Nanie,

You was so dear to my heart and will be truly missed. You has seen it all from black folks going threw the back door to Martin Luther King,Jr. Getting killed. To the invention of the telephone to the computer. As well as seeing the possible 1st black president Barack Obama. Living 100 years you has seen it all and told us all about those times. And I was extremely proud to have had you in my Life. I am missing you terrible. But I will be right up there hugging you one day....

To the Crawley/Jones Family:
Mrs. Mattie was a beautiful personality who was blessed to have touched many lives during her lifetime. Growing up I loved to watch Mrs. Mattie usher at church. She was always radiant with joy as she greeted people to God's house. As God greets her home, may the memories you have of her be a source of comfort to you now and in the days to come.
