1st my co-worker, then my friend for ever.  Mattie would come back from her break at DMV and would have evidence of cake on her face, I started calling her  "Crumb Cake".  I miss you so much "Girlie"
Love Kandice Jones

Mattie, even though we were separated by states, you were my Bestie, my Dawg and dearest friend.  I will miss our talks about our families.  I will miss the encouraging words you had for me when things weren't going right in my life.  I am even going to miss how we would fight over who had the better taste in clothes and decorating. All in fun of course.  Most of all, I'm going to miss that special sisterhood we shared.  You were one of the strongest, innovative, supportive and loving woman I've had the pleasure of knowing.  Rest in peace my dear friend.  Love you with all my heart......Sheila Richey Davis.

My co-worker, my friend, my neighbor you will always be remembered. Edna

 "Most importantly she loved hard and once she would let you into her heart that was where you stayed with her. She will be sorely and eternally missed."
I would have to agree about this statement whole heartedly. She opened her heart to me and taught me what having an Aunt feels like. I will forever be greatful and am a better person for knowing her!! You will live in my heart until we meet again!  Monique R. Miller  aka (pumkin as she would say)

Mattie will be truly missed.  Me and my family (The Williams) grew up with her and her family (The Rayfords) in Compton, California.  Mattie like all of her siblings was caring, had a great since of humor and always motivating. Though I didn't get a chance to spend much time with her during the last several years, I will always remember her. My heart goes out to her and her family.
