To the Matson family, I was so sad to hear of your moms passing, she was i great person and fun to be around. We were suppose to get together, but we both got to busy with our own lives. I wonder sometimes why god takes the good people and leaves the mean and hurtful people behind, but i think he has a special place for the nice people like Deb and he is taking good care of her now. I know she is smiling down on all of you with all her love. Bless all of you.

Erin (Chickie) and family,
There are no words that can take away the pain you are feeling but in time it will get easier. Keep her memory alive by thinking of the good times you shared as often as possible. Always remember how much she loved you girls and her grandchildren. And take some comfort in knowing she is now and forever will be watching over you guys and smiling at how proud she is of you! Love ya Chick!!!!
