This sweet, sweet lady is now in her eternal home, singing praises with the Heavenly choir and holding hands with her loved ones gone before her. Talking with Ms. Mattie on the phone if I called Elaine and she answered was such a blessing. Her daughter Elaine is a great friend and I know Elaine and all the other family will miss Ms. Mattie so much. I didn't know until today but Billy and I send hugs, love, deepest sympathy and prayers to the entire family. Diana and Billy Williams
