Mr. Mathers was ALWAYS a joy when he was here at the dealership. Weather he would mention a quick convo about whiskey when Mrs. Mathers wasnt around, or just bringing the car in for service. I will miss my friend, and offer my thoughts and prayers to you all. Mrs. Mathers may God hold you while you grieve. If you need me, you know where to find me. God’s blessings to you.
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of Perry J. Mathers, Sr, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten..
