Elmer "Red" Richard Mattison

My dear sweet Ms. JoJo what a pleasure it was to have spent the afternoon with you and Red this summer. Shanna is truly blessed to have two such beautiful friends. Having been where you are today and in the days to come. I truly understand you pain and loss of such a charming gentleman, Please know that you will be in heart and prayers during your time of morning. I look forward to seeing you again. Fondly Darlene, Shanna's mother.

What a gracious man, so kind and unique in every way. Knowing him before Barb came into his life to stay - such a quiet reserved man...He brought smiles and happiness that were so refreshing. He came alive and lived years of contentment with travel, good health, and a family that loved him so much! He will be missed more than words and thought of with precious memories! God bless all of you!

Those of us who were fortunate enought to know and love "Sir Red" will always keep a special place in our hearts of fond and loving memories of a very special man...our loving and supportive prayers are with you, Lady JoJo, and the family at this difficult time...hope you will come to Destin soon that we might share special memories..... Cookie Lady and Captain Don

Love you Red and Jo Jo
