To the Matthews Family - I am praying for you all during this difficult time. I have fond memories of Mr. Bill and his jokes. He was always ready to give a sax selection on anyone's church program. I'm sure he and uncle buck are playing a duet together and laughing. That thought makes me smile and I hope that it will bring a smile to your face. With Love -Anissa Brown

Words can not capture the awesome ways of Uncle William. He alway had a smile and jokes that usually took me a few minutes to get. He would smile and ask, "Did you get it?" If my response was, "No." This included a confused look. He would tell the joke again and I had to laugh. So Uncle William and am sending you a smile for the many that you have given me and the rest of the world. You had a way of leaving a lasting impression. I love you family.
