Our sadness is deep Kurt, Lauren and Erin Peacox

December 16, 2012

There are no words to express the deep saddness, and thankfulness I feel. We as a family were fortunate to know Matt as a young boy. My son, Jason grew up with Matt, and they were often together with Brian and Jeff smith. We went camping to Fairhaven and brought Matt, he and Jason had a blast fishing, messing around, and hanging around the campfire. We all have struggles in our lives, and we wonder why God would allow this. I believe we are not capable here on earth to comprehend the beauty and peacefulness that awaits us. We can only trust and know, that he is with Jesus, and he is loved up in heaven as much as he is loved on earth.

I pray for all of you to press on, and to know that you will see Matt again.

God Bless You,
Jane, Peter, Jason, Nicole and Lindsey Tiberio

Thank you for all the wonderful memories Matt. When all of us cousins were together at the cottage or camp.. we felt more like siblings. Im sorry that you will not be playing at my wedding, you were so looking forward to that.. I will forever be grateful for your offer and I will remember you that day and be wishing that you were there to see me get married and to play your guitar as I walked down the aisle. I love you and will never forget you.
