Mattie was a wonderful lady. I worked with her when she was still able to attend adult day care. Once she was unable to participate, I still visited her frequently in Nicholasville and then later in Lexington. God bless!

I'm going to miss Aunt Mattie. I would always leave her presence with a smile. Her chocolate cakes she baked for me as a little girl, will forever be in my thoughts.
