Karen
Diane and I remember our good times on Sells Avenue during dental school. I would from time to time pass thru Middletown and always smile as I thought of our short time together. I will pray that you both find peace in this time of sadness.

Oh Karen, I am truly saddened by the passing of Matt. I spent countless hours playing euchre with Matt during college, and in those times it was clear what a humorous, loving bear of a man he was. Anyone who really knew him would say his presence was intimidating, but his heart was kind and gentle. Please accept my deepest condolences and know that I will be praying for you and your family that God will grant him peace, and you comfort.
God Bless You.
