Phillip, Marty, Gail, Cheryl, Willie, and Larry,

Mattie was a shining light that burned so brightly her entire life that its energy dissipated, but did not die. She was a friend and neighbor for years, a Christian, a person who always supported others, never met a stranger, and loved her family intensely. Your love and devotion to her were unparalleled, and it is these things that, hopefully, will give you what you need to move forward "one day at a time."
May God continue to bless and sustain you during this most difficult time!!

With love,
Cassandra Meacham

Sending Prayers and Condolences to Tolliver Family. Mrs.Tolliver was such a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit. I will always hold tight to those memories of being over to the house laughing and eating her food and cooking but most of all I will cherish our last conversation. I was visiting her church during a revival and after the service was over I went to greet her and she gave me a Big Hug and say Wade I thought that was you singing in the choir, I must tell Gail that I saw you. We shared some laughs and I left. She will be truly missed .
I pray that Almighty God will continue to strengthen your heart's now and during the days to come.

While I offer my condolences to her family at this time, please realize that we all share your loss. Mattie Bell had a heart of gold and a smile that would light up any room she entered.
