BELLINGHAM — About 50 postal employees will take a break from their routes at 1 p.m. Monday to drive their postal trucks to the funeral of Bellingham postal worker Terry R. Mathews.

The postal trucks are expected to park on the south side of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 2925 James St., where Mathews was a former bishop, according to Bishop Mark Knutson.

The postal employees will attend the funeral for about an hour and then return to work, Knutson said. They will not be part of the procession to the burial site in Ferndale, he said.

Mathews, 50, died April 30 after a collision with a car as he rode his bicycle on Barkley Boulevard.
