I just read where she passed away on Wednesday. I feel honored that I was able to take care of her on her last night on this Earth. When we gave her a bath she opened her eyes and was trying to say something to us but could not get those words out. My sympathy to her family especially Sallye and her grandchildren that I met at EAMC. We must all aspire to be the great lady she was. I watched the YOU Tube Video of her in the pink hat, not looking anywhere near her age. Light up Heaven like you did Earth!!!!!

I count it a Blessing to have known such a Beautiful and Loving Christian Woman. To me she was Mrs. Mattie, but to my daughters Tiffany and Tabatha she was "Big Mama". She made everyone whom she came in contact with feel loved and special. Her arms were always open to give a hug to show her compassion and concern for others and her beautiful smile was always bright and could lift up a downcast spirit. Everytime I saw her she would always say..."Come here girl and give me a hug." It was always a pleasure to see her sitting behind the desk in the office at Davis Mortuary and I would always tell her that She was the one who was really "in charge".
Mrs. Mattie has left behind a family, church family and so many others who will cherish her memory in their own individual way. The life that she lived will truly be an after glow for all to remember.
I can think of no better way to pay tribute to Mrs. Mattie than the following poem.
"After Glow"
I'd like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
Of SMILES when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done. (Carol Mirkel)
May the God of all mercies and the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ comfort you during your time of bereavement. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love & Blessings,
Cornelius and Carolyn
