I have no idea what you must be going through or the many layers of heartache you must feel. I know your mother was a beautiful person and a pillar of strength. I know that she fought hard and long with this most recent illness. I know that she loved God and her family truly and deeply. I know that she had the sweetest smile. I know that she was gentle and accepting of many people of many walks of life. And I know that she will suffer no more. Deepest Sympathy for the loss of your mother and grandmother, that lived and loved well.

Mattie Cox was a wonderful, strong, and brave woman. And I will miss her. She was my grandma for 44 years. I learned a lot from her. Everyone deserves a grandma like her.
