Mattie was truly unique and I loved her very much. The Griffins were all a very loving and sweet Christian family and we are better for knowing them. Mattie Ewell is at peace now and I’m sure she was met at the gates by her Mother, Daddy and dear brother Charles. She will be missed, but we will see her again someday. All our love to her and her surviving family members. Candy Drummond
