To the Mathewson Family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Mathewson. She was a wonderful, devoted teacher and without her help my sons would not have grown to be the successful adults they are today.

Dear Donny and Lori and family,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, mother-in-law and grandmother. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Your Mom was such a wonderful person and would always make you feel comfortable at her house. When I told Billy and Ashley about her passing the first thing they said, was they were going to miss her popcicles and ice cream that she would give to them when we are at the beach and I will miss seeing her when i am at the beach hanging out the towels on the clothes line. Our sincere condolences go out to your entire family and Lori if there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to call me.

Love Nancy, Bill, Billy and Ashley Kelly.

To all the Mathewson's,

Sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was a great person who raised a beautiful family. You are very lucky to have had her as a mother.

I'm so sad I don't even know where to begin.

Meg, this is such a shock and I wish I could be there for you and to chat.. Your Mom was my Mom in so many ways. I was always included in the gang and loved that about your folks. Sally always laughed and smiled and just took such great care of us as kids. I can't even think about chocolate pudding cake without thinking of her recipe.

Don, I wish I could be there to give you a bear hug like you always offered to me. We'll miss her so much.

Donny, Mike, Mary & Susan, you are in my thoughts and prayers. With tears streaming down my face, I am hoping you can appreciate the joy your loving Mom was in my life.

Much love, Barb Noonan
