MR. MATHIS! I will miss our times at Long Horn. I am so happy to have forged a genuine friendship with you. Your quick wit, intelligence and genuine desire to always want to "level up" were things that I always noticed in every conversation we had. Some folks know how much I used to brag about you for your intelligence. I will miss you! The only way I can get through now is to pretend you are still here. Thank you for being a friend, a confidant and...for just being YOU. Much love forever! See you in the resurrection, and I hope we can still listen to Tupac's songs when I see you again...

Carmen Dieho

RIP the heavens has really gained a special angel back home

Sheila Mcham

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
