Memories and Condolences
for Mattie Benson
September 17, 2009
Dear Sandra and Earl:
I really loved Mattie. She was honest, truthful and could be so funny when she wanted to be. I always admired her courage and "backbone". She was a real character and I was jealous that she was not MY mother.
She has been in my prayers for years now and will stay there always.
Love,
Nancy Deile

Ms.B, the Lord is in for a good, straight forward time with you by his side. You loved life and your family, especially your son, Earl. Many times, I have thought how proud and thankful you were of him. I pray he will soon find comfort in knowing you are with the Lord and had a wonderful life.

I clearly and fondly remember Ms. B when I was at Acme in Macon. She was so proud of the company and loved all of the employees. My best to the family.

Earl and Sandra, my heart goes out to you during this difficult time. There are no words that will make your hurt any better, but know that we are all thinking of you. Ms. B. was one of the most charming and sometimes challenging women I ever had the privilege of working with. She was quick witted and very opinionated, but that’s what made everyone love her so much. She was a jewel and I personally will miss her laugh and her smile. She was an awesome individual. Count your blessings you had such a wonderful Mother who thought so much of you.
Sincerely,
Sharon Herren
