I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the entire family. To me, she was known as "Mrs. Matela", a woman who was always smiling and always made me feel so welcome at any time. I will keep with me always, her loving and gentle ways. May God grant the entire family strength, understanding and peace during this difficult time. I pray that the perpetual light is shining upon Mrs. Matela and that she is resting in peace.
