I told my sister thru facebook about Mrs. Matlock's passing and this is her reply: "Aww, I'm saddened by this news. I thought about her just the other day. One of the security questions on an account I was setting up said "who was your favorite grade school teacher?" I chose that one and put "Matlock" as the answer.
90 years old, what a life she lived, and if she was like she was back then, she lived it to serve others. Thanks for sharing, David."
