To my beautiful, loving,, Aunt Mattie. My heart is very heavy. Words cannot describe what I am feeling. I still can see your smiling face. You will be dearly missed. You were a great mother,, and a loving aunt, and you loved to play that piano at church. I always said I wish I could sing and play the piano like you. My beautiful and loving aunt ,now you are resting, no more pain. When you see your brothers and sisters you will all be together now. I know you will be playing that piano and singing as you did so elegantly .Lastly, when I last saw you, we laughed ,and talked and you and my mom had so much fun talking with one another. Those are the memories I will cherish forever, gone on with the Lord, but will never be forgotten . Rest In Peace Auntie. Love you Gloria
