Mrs. McFarland and family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Matt was a great guy. When I first moved to Milton 5 years ago, he was rxceptionally welcoming and I was so pleased to know him. However, as i sincerely regret, we had lost touch during our junior year at Milton High School. I just wanted to take a moment to tell you just hoow sorry I am. He will be missed.

Ms. Mcfarland,
I did not know your son well. I had seen him in the hall and he was very funny and full of spirt. Although he is not here physically anymore his memory will last forever. He's with God now watching over you and the rest of his loved ones. I wish you all the best and you are in my prayers.
