Correction: "She often brought produce" should read He often brought produce. Typographical error!!

Nurse Debra Willis-Petty

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Matthews. I met him when he volunteered at the Tuscaloosa VA. He had the voice of an opera star and was a master gardener. She often brought produce from his garden to our staff members and patients. Mr. Matthews was truly a blessing to so many of our Veterans. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Nurse Debra Willis-Petty

My Uncle Lewis who has been on my mind who's a veteran from the Army and a soldier of God demonstrated his conviction to God every time we visited he would play his piano in the morning and sing his Gospel song and like his sister my mother they love there breakfast. We lose a family member but Heaven Triumph with a champion. We love Uncle Lewis. Delvin L Jordan and Family

Cousin Lewis was a man of God. Surely mercy and grace was with him his entire life. Your beautiful voice, piano playing,culinary dishes, and gardening was just a few of your talents that you graciously shared. You were a treasure and will be missed. Rest In Heaven Cousin.
