Mrs. Matthews, Mary and family:
I'll always remember the first pet my dad and I took to the clinic. The wonderful care that pet and its little girl owner received was exceptional. And the same care given to every pet after that never wavered. My condolences. Denise (Neunaber) Reynolds

Although I have lived in St. Louis a number of years, I remember seeing Dr. & Mrs. Matthews at church every Sunday. I knew his daughter, Mary, pretty well (we went to school together). I just would like to convey my condolences to the entire family. Dr. Matthews was a very kind man. Praying for all of you.

So sorry for Dr. Matthews passing. He helped us with all our animals for as long as I remember. I also worked with Mary and Jason. Sorry I can't attend the visitation. Prayers for the family.

We visited his office many times through the years. Once took a preschool class on a field trip to his farm. Sympathy and prayers to the family.
