I got to know Mattie through my nursing job at the hospital and I so enjoyed seeing her each time she came in. She always made me/us smile (& laugh!!) with her conversation. I havnt seen her for quite some time since I retired, but I will always fondly remember her. I wish I could give her a hug once more. Maybe the Lord will give me that gift one day. I pray that you will be comforted in your loss by God’s promise of giving her a heavenly body & a new home in Heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:1-5
