Helen Matroy

Mom… We miss you more than words can express. You worked to give us the world and put it right at our feet. You made us believe, with you at our side there was nothing we could not beat. Mom you were a woman who taught us to never lose sight of what was possible, even when times seemed helpless, you taught us how to fight. You have shown us how to manage times of sorrow, to look to the future, and to trust the Heavenly Father for every tomorrow. Today is hard. As you closed your eyes and took your flight all we felt was pain. It is with heavy hearts we said goodnight, until we meet again! Forever Loving YOU! Delesia, Cheryl, and Harrison, Jr. Ou Meme… We celebrate the life and legacy of Meme, Helen Matory, our grandmother. How we love Meme! She was full of love and light. She always had a solution to every problem. We have been blessed with an encouraging and loving family that has uplifted us to our highest potential. Meme would always have a story, a saying, or just a good old fashioned “come to Jesus meetin” that would put us back on the straight and narrow path whenever we would stray. Sometimes it was just “keep your head on straight,” “work hard and never quit,” or” you bet not go to sleep in church.” How we miss her words and wisdom. Meme always took time to talk with us, sometimes with tears in her eye. She was always so wise! She saw, heard, and felt so much. She gave us hope for all the tomorrows that we would live and someday make an impact in this world. Meme could cook like nobody else in this world. She made sure we were fed no matter what. Mac-n cheese, cornbread, sweet potato pies, lemon cake, and don’t forget the lemon meringue pie were just a few of the amazing dishes that were in high demand. Meme, we will forever love you! D’Mozzio, Harrison (Trey), Dan, Dia, and Trent!
