What a wonderful example of faith Matt and his family has been to us all. His compassion and tenderness to those who grieved was sincere and unsurpassed.
We do miss him so much from his service and readings at the daily masses at St Columbanus.
May God bless and console you, Mrs Carlone, and your extended family during this time of great grief, that came so unexpectedly and so suddenly.
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
With deepest sympathy.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

It was just a few months ago that our family suffered the loss of our beloved mother, Gertrude McKeon Bentley, and then, just three weeks later,mother's sister, our adored aunt, Marie Walsh. It was a hard time for us all, but made so much easier to bear by the caring and very kind way that Matthew Carlone assisted us with all the arrangements that were so beautifully organized by Dorsey-Carlone Funeral Home in Peekskill. It saddens us all to learn of his passing, but there is something wonderful about the blessing of a sudden peaceful death at home for this man who helped so many deal with the loss of loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Matthew's devotion was an inspiration to all who knew him. His kindness at my father's funeral will be treasured forever. When I see the etchings on the vestibule doors it will remind me of him. I know he rests in peace and we will always miss him.
