All love, prayers, and blessings Pat and family. She was a lovely and caring lady. (Even if she did make Pat take typing in summer school freshman year.) May she RIP and may her memories become treasurers in your heart.
Into my heart’s treasury
I slipped a coin
That time cannot take
Nor a thief purloin,
Oh better than the minting
Of a gold-crowned king
Is the safe-kept memory
Of a lovely thing.

Sorry to hear of Mrs. Mattingly’s passing. She was our friend and neighbor. She liked to visit with my grandma and went to her 100th birthday party. My kids would go over and help her take her trash to the curb. She was such a wonderful lady❤️
