I extend my sincerest sympathy for you during this dark hour. Having known Matt for what amounts to too short a period of time, I am sorry for your loss. Since learning of his passing, I have been reminiscing about the good times I had with him and have come to realize there weren't enough of them. As we reflect on his life, please remember only the good. My vow to the families that share this void is for you to know and understand that I will always hold a place of reference for Matt. We shared a common bond. I will miss him and the goodness he represented. I worked with him and he had much patience with me for which I am grateful. In Christ' Love and Peace, I wish you comfort, Sincerely yours,
