Mathey Family:

So sorry to hear that your mom is no longer here with you/us. Alzheimer's is a cruel illness. I'll always remember your mom as someone who had an awesome attitude and was very friendly. I'm confident that she now rests in peace.

Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death."

With heartfelt sympathy I wish you peace at this time of your loss.
Karyn's love for life, joy, and humor was an inspiration to me. She was a pleasure to work with and I valued her friendship.
Somehow when we stop to think of all the lives our loved one has touched, it reminds us how lucky we were to have such a wonderful mother (grandmother).
May you find peace within your heart and happiness in your memories. Our prayers are with you,
