In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious
i saw this and it remind me of you papa i miss you so much tomorrow will be a year without you but it feels like its been so much longer then that. im homeschooled now and im almost a jr:) i know you would be so proud of me and im going to be aunt im so excited and its a girl yay:) well just thought id leave a little note and tell you i love you and miss you so much.

Today is Sept.10th and this year has flown by us. They say time heals all wounds. It's true to some extent. I never would have imagined how time would ease my pain. I still miss you every day and wished that you were here with us. Life is easier because I don't cry daily. I know that when tammy has her baby girl I am going to cry since you won't be there to see my first grandbaby.I love you and miss you so very much! Your daughter, Patty Mathis
my little angels are growing up daddy. we all miss you!

For me this scripture found in GODS WORD is the picture of what the life of JOHNNIE MATHIS was "He lived them"!
"For I was an hungred and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink:I was a stranger and ye took me in: naked,and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Matthew 25:35-36
Johnnie you are the MAN and will always be remembered as a gift from GOD. I still think of you as the "Silver Fox".
I thank GOD and Gg and your children for having shared you with all of us. For you his family were truly "Blessed" in this life and still are.
We Love you,
Doris&Danny

Dearest Uncle Johnny,
When I think of you I think first of your PRECIOUS million dollar smile then I think of that trillion dollar HEART!

You are so missed by eveyone that loved you, but God needed you, so he took you to heaven to be with him. I don't understand nor can I begin to know why he needed to take you away from all of us. All I can do is know that God new that it was time for you to be with him. So now we all must trust in him as our God and Savior. Knowing that Johnny is happy now and he is in heaven looking down on all of us with his beautiful smiling eyes watching over us and wanting all of us not to be sad but to be patient. Johnny will be there waiting when God decides it is our time to be with him and when it is one of our times, Johnny will be there with his hand reaching out to hold ours as we enter into Gods glorious heaven. I love you Johnny and until it is my time I will be here and I will be patient.
Some cowgirl, huh? haha

Johnny, I miss you, too! I often think of you coming in the door in the evening, after a hard day at work. I can still see you blushing when I would call you a sweet and handsome bundle of love, which you truly were. This picture was taken the last time I was in Houston with you and Georgia. I sure hope to make a trip there again some day.
Love, Sunny

Till we meet again Johnny love Georgia
***Thank you Ruth Ann
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Today is January 2nd of 2009, the new year is finally here. Daddy we survived the holidays, and even did it with a brave face. It wasn't the same for any of us! We all had an unspoken love and appreciation for each other just knowing that we were thinking and feeling the same heartache from our loss of our father,grandfather and spouse. We all miss you terribly and you live with us in our hearts and minds each and every day! I thought one day I would be married again..haha! But I really feel that it's more important for me to focus on my girls and enjoy as much time as I can with them. Pretty soon they will have families of their own and then I will need to find a new man to be with. Ashley talks of you often, she says I was so lucky to have a dad like you and she wishes you could have been her dad too. She is right, you were the best to all of us! You always gave of yourself and only wanted love and respect in return. You definately got that!! Miss you and Love you So very much!!!!

Hey Papa, I just wanted to tell you I love you so much! I think about you all day everyday! :] I have your picture right by my bed and I say good night to you every night and tell you I love you, I can't wait to be with you again! You should see little Haylie, I just saw her last weekend and she is the most beautiful thing ever! and she was grabbing at the Christmas tree, it was so cute! I know you would have been there just giggling at her! :D man, your house looks awesome! Everyone put up the lights over there, it's really cute, I saw the picture nana put up. Well I gotta go for now, I love you very much!

December 9, 2008
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
And we often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our hearts.

Christmas is 16 days away. It is going to be a sad Christmas in our home this year. I know we aren't suppose to mourn the loss of a loved one, but it's easier said than done. Forgive me Lord, but I miss my daddy soo very much!! I still cry at night because I want him to come home soo bad it hurts. I pray for my mom because for the life of me I cannot begin to imagine spending my life as the wife of such a wonderful man and then trying to live without him..so suddenly. I don't believe it would have made a difference if we had any warning because there wasn't a day that went by we all did not tell dad how much we loved him. Christmas just won't be the same without daddy here, but we will all put on a brave face and make the best of it ..together just as he would want. All my Love Always, Missing Daddy!

Well, it's almost been four months since our father has passed. Wow, I don't know how i've made it this long, not a day or minute second goes by that i don't miss him. Dad, I miss you so very much. I'm trying to do the best that I can but I never feel like it's enough, God I Wish You Were Here to make it all better. I know in my heart of hearts that you are with me but it hurts so much. Dad you did a terrific job with Johnny...He has really surprised everyone by stepping up to the plate and trying his best.

Hey Papa this is your little mexican. I wanted to tell you that i miss you so much and i enjoyed spending the last two summer's at the shop with you. Thank you so much for helping me out when i really need it. I remember right before the hurricane hit i told johnny that the porch in the back yard was going to be gone and we went back afterwards and it was still there. I told him that yall needed to keep the mexican that built it and he told me it was you. I couldn't stop laughing because i could just see you up there building it. I heard that he told you that and you were laughing. Ill always remember you papa and thank you again for everything that you have done for me. I love you.

Papa, I miss you so much. I have the biggest hole in my heart. It breaks my heart every day knowing that your not here, But knowing that your in Gods hands watching over us keeps me going. I want you to know not 1 second of my day goes by that I'm not thinking of you. I think of you when I wake up while doing my hair and make up, during school, and at work, and also at home. I think about you all the time, I'm also so thankful for all of the memories I have with you. It has taken me a while to see this book because my heart is broken, it sometimes hurts to breathe. :'( I cant wait to be with you one day, I remember you scooting around the shop shuffling your little feet and chuckling because of something me nick or trey did or said. :D We always knew how to make you giggle, and you always knew how to make our day with that kind sweet smile of yours. :) I'm SO very proud to be a Mathis, also proud of you being my grandpa and me being your grand daughter. Most of all, I wanted to thank you for teaching my daddy to be one heck of a daddy, he got it from you. Veterans day was a hard day for me, I thought of you while we seen the slideshow of some veterans, I never told you thank you for serving our country papa, but I do appreciate it with all of my heart. I could never thank you enough for everything you have done, and i could never tell you exactly how much I love you because its SOOOOOOO much where it cant even be described. I LOVE YOU PAPA!
I MISS YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD! Love, Carolyn Renee MATHIS

Where do you start to describe a man that has touched so many
lives for so many, many years? Memories of childhood playing as kids at my Uncles house, going
over to visit with hopes that maybe he'd be there and as always hand out a dollar bill to each kid and send us on our way to the local store to gorge ourselves on a bag of candy
and a bottle of pop. Something so small as this was the way I'll always remember my uncle, quiet ,peaceful , loving,
giving, ( always giving ) making sure all the people around him had a little piece of kindness that was Johnny Mathis.
The phrase that most often gets used in a sentence by any
member of family from,his generation, to my cousins and
my generation, to the grandkids of today's generation was
kind hearted. There's not a person here today that can't admit that Johnny Mathis was in fact the sweetest , kindest man on earth. Even into the last days of his life
spent seeking safety for his family from the path of Hurricane Ike,
all he wanted to do was what was best for his family.
Just as he's done every day of his life, what ever is best for you
Momma is the answer he'd give to Aunt Georgia when she'd ask
for his blessings on the next step. We would talk often during
my adult life over the years and he'd always ask how ya doing,
how's your job going, are your kids doing good and then the
little twinkle in his eye would show up and the tears would
form in the corners of his eyes and his chin would quiver.
Anytime he saw family together hugging and enjoying life
together in good times or bad he'd always tear up and let
you know that he loved you. A lot of men never shed a tear
until it's too late in life but I believe Johnny Mathis made it known that real men cry whenever the hell they want to!!
So anyone holding back tears today can let them go because
that's what my Uncle Johnny would do.
Aunt Georgia, Trish, Patty, Barbie your Daddy loved you all
with every inch of fiber in his body and soul.
John-John, your Daddy raised one hell of a young man.
He taught you the ends and outs of what was his life a business that bears his name that he forge out of tons of sweat and back breaking days and gave you the means
to carry on his legacy. Like we spoke of just last week, you've got some big shoes to fill , being by your Dad's side for the last 23 years was just a warm up for the next 23 or more to be spent with taking care of his loved ones the way he did.
With love and kindness..

Georgia and family: My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Losing Johnnie leaves a hole in your family that will never be filled. You will always remember him. The stories I have heard from your Mom told me of a man who was one of a kind, generous, loving, thoughtful, yet all the while he was the rock and foundation of the Mathis family. I am proud to have known Johnnie. I don't honestly know if his shoes will ever be filled. Prayers and best wishes from me to y'all.

It has been more than a month now that we have been without my dad.My daughter Ashley was attacked by a dog 2 days ago. With tears running down her cheeks she replied,"If papa was here,that dog would be history!" An example of how he is thought of every single day. There is not a minute in a day that I don't think of him or wish that I could see him again. My heart aches from the emptiness that is left without him in my life. I am so Very Thankful that I can feel his presence and strength continuosly in my life.I am comforted by the fact that he is in Heaven waiting for us to join him someday. One more example of his love, he is preparing a home in Heaven for us to be together again. (Daddy, I miss you tremendously! Cry you a river,doesn't begin to describe the tears I've shed for you. I hate that I wake up every day and you are not here, but I take pride in knowing that you are with Our Father in Heaven.)( Missing you Always!! Your loving daughter,Patty)

GeeGee, my heart felt sympathy is with u and ur family, although i never met Johnny i know how precious he was to u. Johnny will rest in Gods sleep, but when Christ re-turns we all will meet again.

There will be peace in the valley for me someday...No Sadness, No Sorrow, No Trouble for Uncle Johnny BELIEVE.
...Uncle Johnny our hearts are empty and Houston is empty - you are not here anymore...and we miss you so much! I miss picking up the phone - to hear you say, "Just checking to see how ya'll are doing." I miss seeing the beautiful roses you buy for grandma. I miss not knowing your sitting behind your desk, when I pass McCarty St. I miss not being able to call you about my car.
But most of all I miss your presence and not being able to hug you and tell you, I Love You.
We are comforted to know that when you laid down to sleep that night - you woke up in a perfect Heaven. One, with a perfect body, perfect love, Streets of gold and such glory we could not even comprehend.
Until, we see you in Heaven for all eternity - We miss you dearly - and it is so hard to give you up for now.
Neice.

Its hard to believe that it has already been a month seen papa has passed away. He is missed so much! He was an awesome man who had alot of love in his heart. Today is Jonathans birthday and I know that his birthday wish would be to see,hug, and talk to papa again. We all know that papa is in a better place and watching over us and helping God answer our prayers. Papa is with us always in spirt. Haylie just turned three months and is growing so fast! Papa was nervous holding haylie because she was so small but im glad that the that the last time he saw her he held her and gave her a kiss and haylie reacted with a smile because papa's little whiskers tickled her little cheeks. Memories like these Jonathan and I will be sure to share with her. Papa was taken ways from us too fast but with memories we keep him vivid.I love u papa and I am grateful that I was blessed to have met you. Nana and you have raised an awesome grandson who is a great father and awesome dad. He had a great mentor.

We cant explain in life, why things happen when they do~ but one thing is for sure, that Uncle John was placed on this earth to be a blessing and I believe with all my heart - that when he stood before the Lord...God said...WELL DONE! We are all so very blessed to have him in our lives. He was and will always be one of the most caring, giving, and compassionate men I have ever known. What a legacy he leaves behind for his great grandkids & great grandkids. I can only hope that I impact lives the way he did...Luv you Uncle J and know that you will never be forgotten...Luv Duffy

It has been less than a month that we lost our beloved. "Daddy, I miss you so very much!" My dad was the best dad any child could hope to have. I thank God that I was blessed to be his daughter. My life forever changed when he was called to be with our Lord. I can only hope and pray that I always make him as proud to be my dad, as I was proud to be his daughter.

Life is a book in volumes three-
The past, the present, and the yet-to-be.
The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight - God keeps the key.
With Heart-Felt Sympathy,
Laura Krieger

I remember well the smiling face and kinkness that Johnnie always showed to everyone that he met. He will be missed by me because of the encouragement he gave me when I needed it most. God bless his family and friends at this time.

Georgia I am so sorry to hear about Johnny, wish I could have visited you both before his death. So many years have passed since I last saw you both. I have wondered about you both, Punk and Maude as well. God Bless and keep you safe. He was one of my Father's favorite grandchildren as you remember Silas and Billie Jackson. Though good times and bad ones we shall remember our roots. Out of respect and love he will be greatly missed as he joins the family in Heaven now.
