May god bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Eric and family I know the days ahead are going to be hard, but have faith knowing you have a guardian angel watching over you. Praying god will bless y'all in the days ahead to give you the comfort and strength needed. Matt was a wonderful and caring guy and I know he is going to missed by many. I am thankful to have seen him in May when I was there and had a opportunity to speak to him after so many years of not seeing him. He was the same Matty that I remembered. God bless

I'm still at loss for words. I walk into your house everyday hoping for your door to be open and you yelling. .."hey allie"...but your not there. We shared so many good times together. Our parties, our outings,
dyngus day, St. patricks days, bocce ball, softball games, or our late
nights at the bars. These times will
not be the same without you here.
You meant so much to me and there
is not a day that goes by that I won't think about you. You were like my second brother always watching over me. I love and miss you so much :(

My name is Anna Pecoraro Graziano,and I had gratuated with Matt from Seneca Vocational. We just had our 30th reunion,we were all asking if anyone had heard from Matt. I wish and so do so many of our classmates would have known he we ill. I am sure that I speak from the class of 83'that we are all saddened by this news. Mrs. Toole,Matt was always very kind and considerate young man. I haven't see him in 30 years,but my memory of him is nothing but fond. God bless you and your entire family. I will be praying for you dear.
In the name of Christ,
