Matheson decided not to go through with chemotherapy so she could “live the rest of my life the way I believed it should be.”“I always remember my mom saying losing a child would be the hardest loss a parent could go through,” she wrote in the obit.
Matheson, an only child who ran her own beauty business, said she cherished her friendships “more than anything” because she never had siblings. Her friends praised her for her straight talking and spoke of their admiration for her taking the time to tick things off her bucket list by travelling widely.
Matheson also made sure that her friends and family didn’t have to worry about the end of her life by planning and paying for every detail of her celebration of life in July, down to the type of urn for her ashes.
Great message from a beautiful soul.
