My daughter Riley is Mr Matthews “papa” granddaughter Emma’s best friend. We are both so incredibly sorry for your loss. Riley just adored papa, as she called him, and has many funny sweet and fond memories of him when her and Emma would spend nights at their house. We wish we could be there for the service, but we are back home in DC now. So we send our love and support from afar. Hugs to all.
I had the absolute honor of being part of this family for over 14 years and Don was one in a million in every way. He loved his family above all else and showed it everyday as well as giving back to the community. The world is dimmer without him in it. Much love to Chong and family love y'all always.
