Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Marty, we are so very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a precious gem and loved by many. Keeping you and your family close in prayer.
Chuck, Marty, Peggy, and family, Robert and I were saddened to learn of Mattie’s passing. She was such a good neighbor and friend to us on Fairway Terrace. She and Dutch readily welcomed us to the neighborhood. She was a great cook. We enjoyed her chicken salad many times. So sweet of her to share her delicious treat with us. Mattie was very special to us and many friends and acquaintances. Your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Robert and Marlene Holland
