Aunt Mattie was one special person , always full of life I can never ever remember a frown on her face. She was such a joy to be around. Although we were on opposite coasts, Jeannie and I often thought of her, and every time we did, a smile would come upon our face. I miss her and love her very much , she has gone home to rest in eternal peace. You are forever loved!

Mattie was always so positive and she had such great faith in God. I enjoyed visiting with her and she would encourage me. She loved her family and spoke highly of each one of them.
I will miss her and never forget her sweet spirit.

Mattie, I never called you mom and you knew why…we had so many amazing conversation. Because my own mother passed away when I was 11 , I wasn’t sure how our relationship would evolve. But you sure took care of us and I will add put up with us and I still don’t know how 😬! I will forever be happy and grateful that you and my dad met and married. The love you shared was wonderful to be around. What a lucky man he was to have you! Becoming a blended family means mixing, mingling, scrambling, and sometimes muddling our way through delicate family issues, complicated relationships, and individual differences, hurts, and fears. But through it all, we are and will remain a family with you never far from our thoughts and prayers. Godspeed, Love you forever.

We wanted to buy a house on a little lake in Temecula. Little did we know that our next-door neighbor would be Mattie Schiller. In the twelve years we lived there, Mattie became the best neighbor we ever had. We feel so blessed to have known her. We would take turns having cocktails and dinners in each other’s home. We can still taste her scrumptious appetizers and her delicious pasta dishes.
So many fond memories, not the least of which was taking an evening “cruise” on our little peddle boat and hearing Mattie shriek when a local goose would swim over and peck at her bottom. Back on shore, we would laugh ourselves silly.
Those are the sights and sounds we will take with us. Mattie’s smile could light up a room. Her face, warmth and kindness certainly lit up our lives. We will miss her dearly.
Our hearts go out to Mattie’s family and to all who loved her as we did.

Nana, I am going to miss you so much. You taught me so much. I am so glad I got the opportunity to live with you. We got so close. I’m going to miss our laughs, margaritas in the backyard, our funny conversations to our serious real life conversations. You were the most humble, generous, loving, kind, beautiful, perfect angel on earth. Your legacy will forever be remembered down here. Fly high with your son 🩵🩷
