Sr. Mary Matthew was an example of Christ love to humankind who has no discrimination of any race. I believed strongly that she is resting in the bosom of her father and creator. She was a lovely and religious person. We Nigeria Sisters who knew her in Anacortes loved her and miss her greatly....... She has gone all the way to Heaven. May her kind and loving soul continue rest in the peace of Christ --- her Spouse.....Good bye and good night Sister Mary Matthew our good mother.

We couldn't believe it.  The sisters of St. Joseph of Peace are all buried in rows at Holyrood.  So Sister is buried next to the Sister that recently died, Sister Noreen, one of the Sister's that witnessed the baby falling from the top balcony that Sister wrote about in her book, "Angels and the Power of Prayer".  As we neared the site where she was to be buried, we were looking at the dates to find Sister Mary Francis, who died in 1997.  Low and behold, when we found it, it was just two rows away from Sister Mary Matthew!

One witness account:
Trish B. met Sister Mary Matthew and Sister Mary Francis while on Pilgrimage with them.  Afterwards she invited them to play tennis and the two raced across the courts, veils flying!  Then she told of the time she took Sister and myself out on her boat on Lake Washington. We were going
fast, and Sister’s veil was again flying, but then she made the mistake of
asking Sister if she wanted to drive the boat.  Sister loves speed! And then her veil was really flying!  (I had told her that someone had a vision of Sister being shot to heaven and her veil was flying out behind her).
