"This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life."Psalms 119.50, I am beyond words, and very sorry that I didn't get to know Jamaal like I should have as a uncle , but for any family member of mine my heart is crushed, I will continue to pray for you Trese and the whole Matthew family; bless you all; Keith Hackett.

Im glad i had the chance to see on sunday while you were at work. We hug each other and shared some words. 
As the sun has set in the morning light,
GOD gave you His arms and said everything is going to be all right. 
There's  a careless whisper flowing in the air Jamaal, you are out of harms way,you dont have to care.  You received your wings and now you can be proud. You are an angel in Heaven now sitting amongst the clouds. You will be surely missed, but in all of our hearts, you are one of gods Angels now. Here's  to a brand new start.

From Kisha & Cameron

Sorry for your loss.  Jamaal was a very nice gentleman.  Trese I didn't know that this was your son. I would always come late to order food in the cafe at Highmark and we always laugh about it. My prayers are with you and your family.

Rest in Peace my dear cousin.  Love, cousin LeAnn Brock

Jamaal was always very nice to me and my family. We enjoyed seeing him spend time with his daughter.  A great person! GOD bless. RIP
