Matt was a godsend to my godmother. He was a great, funny and a kind hearted man and made her happier than I've ever seen her. I'm so grateful to him for the happy memories he gave her and our family. To me he was a beloved uncle, whom I'll always remember. He will always be in our hearts. God Bless him and his family <3

Dear Teresa,
It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
Do you remember when Matt made the barking dog sound in the hotel hallway? May sound silly to others, but what a good laugh he gave us all that night at the company party! He was a good man and we are grateful to have met him. With deepest sympathy to you and your family,
Patti and Paul
