She was like a little sister to me - we never stopped laughing when we were together. "And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have re-written mine by being my friend". You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart!

I haven't told your best friend (Taylor) that you are gone. Im going to miss the smile you put on her face when you walked in the room saying "Hey Boo!" We use to laugh all the time at my verbal reminder that you were my friend not hers and that you were coming to visit me! Eventually I accepted that I had to share you with Taylor! lol Her birthday party is the last celebration we enjoyed together. As you can see by the smile on her face you made your best friend feel very special with this bike! We love you more than you would ever know

I was fortunate enough to have met Mattie at work; we both had orientation on the same day. She never met a stranger and had an instant connection with those around her. She loved to be happy and had the cutest giggle ever, yet a very serious side when it came to ensuring that her patients were taken care of with the up most of care. As a nursing supervisor, she had a strong voice for her nurses. An excellent nurse, highly educated, well rounded person, who instantly became a friend to those around her. She will be truly and dearly missed, but never forgotten.

Message from Crystal (Peters) Stevens - June 20, 2016 at 09:04 PM

Mattie was like an older sister to Paige when we were on dance/ cheer trips. She used to carry Paige around on her hip when Paige was little. I'll never forget how Mattie jokingly called Chip "dad" and me "mom" (because my name is Crystal like her mother). She always brighten the day and put a smile in our faces. We will always cherish our memories of Mattie and her mother Crystal. We love you Mattie, may you rest in peace. May God bless her family and friends. Prayers are with you.

Who would've known that you'd have to go, so suddenly, so fast? And how could it be, that our sweet memories would be all that we'd have left? Now that you're gone, every day I'll go on... But life's just not the same. I'm so empty inside, and my tears I can't hide, but I'll try... I'll try to face the pain. Though I'm missing you, I'll find a way to get through, living without you ... Cause you were my sister, my strength, and my pride. Only God may know why, still I will get by... Now that you're gone I can still feel you near. So I'll smile with every tear I cry.... Mattie, Perzia, my sunshine... My soul food, my 90's root... I love you endlessly. I could say so much more but I'm going to wait.... No amount of words could ever do justice to the lament your absence has left me with, nor could I accurately explain what you mean to me. I love you, girl. I will always count myself lucky to have been one of your closest friends. - Fannie

I met Mattie at work and we instantly had a connection. We would text at the oddest hours and she always knew how to bring a smile to your face. She will be missed here by her friends in SC. My deepest condolences to her family for such a tragic loss.
