This picture of James is on my fridge. I was never more lost and found with your family. You all gave me a place to feel loved. I loved you all, especially spending time with the 3 boys. Sometimes you don´t know what an impact you are making on someone whose life was changed because of the love you gave. Not a day goes by.

My sweet Matthew - It has been ten horrible years. There is so much I'd like to tell you and so much I wish I could have changed and handled differently. I love you and your brothers so much it is very hard to keep living down here. But I do knowing I will see you all again some day. Evenings are difficult. I think about all of you all the time. Hoping to move back to Arizona soon so I can tend to your graves, I feel so much closer to you when I visit. Love you, miss you, Mom

Matthew, I've barely seen you over the past years. However, when I learned of your passing I felt the loss immediately. All of the memories I have of us growing up together came flooding back. All of the fun times we had visiting eachother in the summertime, and growing up together in California. The pain you suffered is gone, and I know you are in a better place now and are reunited with your brothers. I'll see you again, but until then, all three of my cousins be sorely missed.

September 10, 2009

Chris,
Please accept our condolences on Matthew's passing. I hope and pray he is at peace and you find comfort and peace in your life too. There's so much to say, yet I can't find the words. Erik and Dave have special places in their hearts, too, for all of the Worsham family. May God bless you. Barbara and Steve Schapel

Matthew,
Although we only met once and spoke on the phone I so wanted to get to know you. All of the memories that your mother has told me about and shown me in pictures and to read all of the guest book entries from friends and family have really depicted what a fine person you were and what a loss it was to all for you to have left them so soon. I ask you this favor, Gather together with your brothers and please look after your mom from above and I will do the same at this end and hopefully show her the love she so deserves. By all accounts from the many entries in your guest book you will be sorely missed by all. May God Bless you and all of your friends and family.
Bill

Matt,
I think the last time I saw you was back in 2004. We walked past each other only to find out that we knew one another. We gave each other a hug and smiled because it was always nice to see an old familiar face. I am very sad to hear this news and I just want you to know that you will be missed so much by your family and friends. I will always remember the good old days and hilarious times we had at the Widmark's house! I pray that you are at peace and that your family can rejoice in all of the great memories they have of you. My thoughts and prayers go the Worsham family. Matt you will be always in our hearts. Much Love.

I remember the fun spirited young man that was my son's best friend and fellow wrestler in middle school. Their eighth grade graduation trip to DisneyWorld was a fun time for all. It was great to hear from Matt just a month ago...looking to connect with friends from his past...I wish him eternal peace and freedom, and my condolences to his family.

September 1, 2009

Chris,

I was sorry to hear about Matthew. I'm sorry that there wasn't more we could do for him. I know that you are a strong person, but there's only so much even the strongest of us can endure. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Remembering the best of Matthew's life and praying for you...
