To the Johnson family,
I want to tell you how much Matt and your family have been in my thoughts throughout the past week. My family and I were canoeing Sunday and had the pleasure of meeting Matt and enjoying the day with him. We were also with him at the trestle. I can never tell you how much I, and others, wish we had been able to do anything to prevent that horrific accident. I hope that if I can ease your pain by answering any questions you may have about that day, I would be honored to talk and share with you. God Bless Your Family.
