I was saddened to learn of Mrs. Mattox's passing two years after it happended. She was one of the most caring and diligent people that I ever encoutered at West Brook. She watched my entire family go through high school. She encouraged every student that walked into that library. Mrs. Mattox will be deeply missed. I want to say thanks for all of the help and support she provided. We will never forget her.

Dearest Edna -- a mentor, confidente, and friend for 40 years. Ah -- how I lived in th FPHS library, complete w/ toothbrush, and rode home with you every day after school. Over the years, you always had a ready cup and ready wit! I treasure all those times after 1987 (after my Aunt Lucille Horne had passed) when I stayed at your house during visits to Beaumont. You and Joe were the Mayors of Minglewood. Fond memories of you begin with you watching me make the big, scary walk alone to Burke's for ice cream, then helping me run for Congress, and finally just being a steady rock on home ground. The Fondest Farewell to extraordinary Edna.

My wife, Carol, and I would like to extend our warmest sympathies. Some of my fondest memories from Forest Park center on Mrs Mattox.
