This is your Uncle Eugene". He was one of the few people in my life that could get away that. I will always love and cherish every moment I spent with you uncle.

Mr. Gene Matthews, you will be missed greatly. You had a great sense of humor and was full of witty remarks as the DJs played your favorite songs. You were a class act. Favorite saying "Right now, I am not liking you very much." Rest in peace. Your friend, Lady DJ.

To My Dear Godmother Vivian- Mr. Eugene Matthews was like no other. They say some of your fondest memories are from your childhood. Wellwe will always remember the house parties in the bsmt, or a family outing in Lake Geneva " Gene " made what ever the occasion was " A Blast ". Forever in our Hearts. May God continue to Bless You and Keep You . Love Ya :)
