AI Summary

It acknowledges the funeral home's founding in 1966 by Mrs. Charlie Jane Mathis Langston and her son, Mr. Charlie Edward Matthews, noting their pioneering achievements as licensed funeral directors, particularly as African Americans in rural Georgia at a time when such roles were uncommon.
