My beloved Mom Mattie was (is) heart of my heart and I can hardly bear that she has left us here. Her smile, her love, her faith, her humor, her wisdom - she became a deep part of my soul from 1988 to the present. I will miss her so very much until heaven, but she is never going to leave my spirit - never. God comfort all the family. "Rest in the Lord, my dear 'Mom' - and thank you so much for taking in this gal as your very own. One of my life's greatest treasures! You. xo"
