To all whose lives were touched by Mattie:



May God be with you during this hard time, especially Prince and Tyka, who have been through so much in such a small amount of time.



I will be praying for you all. I pray that comfort will come your way soon and that the joyous memories will come to mind when you think of Mattie. She has moved on to a place without suffering or pain; a place where she is free and happy. Someday you will see her again....someday.



God Bless you, Mattie. You remain in our hearts until we meet again. We love you.



With love,

Nikki

Given by the information that was read by the public, Mrs.Mattie was very known for her kindness and her beauty.she sounds as if she was the lovable person who was loved by her family and friends. I feel as if I really known her for years.
