Praying for peace and comfort at this time of sorrow. From Mary S Crawford.

Tony and Vincent, may you be graced with comfort in and through your grief. I am grateful for the consistent, authentic, love, kindness, humor, and indescribable sweetness I always experienced in encounters with your beloved mother. May the unutterable goodness she imparted to this world remain as you, the grandchildren, and every life touched by her nurture uphold her and your father's rich legacy of dignity, nobility, and unapologetic striving for excellence. May she rest well from a noble work that is well done! Love & Peace, Gordon A. Pleasants

I had the pleasure of getting to know Mrs. Mathis during her stay with us at St. Mary's Woods. We talked and found that my late father and her late husband had worked together as Mail Carriers. She was quite a delight. I enjoyed getting to know her and her sons. Clyde Carter, Director of Dining Services, St. Mary's Wood's Retirement Community.

Condolences to the Mathis family. I had the honor of meeting Johnny first in Washington Park with the Mathis family &`Sampson family of Fair Oaks in 50's & 60's. I met Lois 2001 after playing a round of golf with Johnny. She really had an outstanding personality. Throughout time,I would call and visit them. I definitely have fond memories of them. Sincerely, William Maurice Pitts

Lena Deloris Mathis you are being missed here at Saint Mary's Woods. It gives me great pleasure to light this candle in memory of you.

Tony and Vincent, words cannot express my sadness. When I think of your mom, her smile and laughter come to mind. The stories she shared about the two of you kept me in stitches. May the comfort of God help you through this difficult time.

Condolences to the Mathis family. Mrs Mathis and I used to worker together.

There are not enough words in Webster's dictionary to describe LDM. She is first-class personified. I have no doubt there is a special place in heaven for her. May she rest peacefully, absolutely! We love you more than you know Kenneth, Kim, and Oliver. Los Angeles, California

Delores was such a lovely person! We would chat for hours on the telephone until we no longer had anything to say. I will miss her dearly and pray that the Lord gives the family comfort in knowing she is with Him now...no more doctors, and no more pain. Shirley Peters McCray

Peace and love to the Mrs Mathis and her entire family. - Chip & Sarah | Falls Church, VA

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