JAYNE HARRIS left a message on December 28, 2020:
I remember Mr. Mathew's as such a sweet man with a heart of gold. I enjoyed visiting he and his wife during my college-years and stopping in to visit as we would occasionally be driving past their home. He gave me a wonderful D&E roommate, "Lorelle" that I was so blessed to have in my life. May God's hands heal his family as they go through this time of grief. I'm looking forward to seeing he and his wife again someday in heaven. Love & Prayers to the family. Jayne & Allen Harris

Uncle Dave was a good man. His wife, Glenna, was my dad’s sister. We visited them often when I was very young, but after my parents’ divorce we didn’t get to see them so often. But when I visited years later, I felt like the prodigal son returning to family. Uncle Dave was still telling stories and chewing his tobacco. I visited him couple of times after Aunt Glenna died and he still had stories for me. I was very blessed to visit him Sunday before he died, holding his hand til he fell asleep. He laughed when I told him he looked strange without his chew. God blessed him with a long, loving life. He will be missed by all his family.

Dave was a special person. Always ready with a warm smile, a hug or a pat on the back. A Godly man who loved The Lord with all of his heart and that love manifested in his behavior. I spent many Sunday mornings with Dave at Mary's Chapel, listening to his wonderful voice while we sang hymns. This world is a little colder without him in it, and I will greatly miss him. He deserves his reward.

Janna and Families, no matter how long we have our dads, it’s hard to know they are no longer with us. What a joy to know he believed! Peace, Pastor Ann Fretwell (Charolette)
