| On Sunday May 25, 2003 about one hundred friends and relative's
joined together at Aunt Mattie's residence at 1750 Allison Mill Road, Talladega
Alabama. The Baptist Church across the street had planned a potluck to help
celebrate the occasion!! There was food galore! It was my understanding that
Aunt Mattie and Uncle Wilbern Love, were founding members of the Church. A gospel
trio sang several gospel favorites. They had known Aunt Mattie for a long time!
After a short break her Grandson Kenney and friends sang several folk ballads
for her. After about two hours she was getting tired and the crowd was invited
across the street to hear another Grandson play the piano! Her son Huel shared
that the birthday party had kept her going, and that she was praying to go home
soon, she had lived long enough and was looking forward to seeing her family
that had gone on before! And so we may have hugged her neck for the last time?
But she has enriched all the lives of those around her, so none of us want her
to linger and suffer! |
