My most loving uncle. You will never be forgotten. I will always cherish my visits with you and remember your always loving hugs. My heart aches but I know you will be seeing my Mom, your sister! Your loving niece,
Mrs. Mathew, Doris, and family,
Mr. Mathew was a friendly man who always brought in a ray of sunshine. I am going to miss seeing him come into Elite Eye Care. Your family is in my prayers.
