Dear Hoppe Family: Our Grandson Ryan Hart grew up with Matt and when we visited in Raleigh he would be over playing with Ry. He was a sweet boy and our hearts go out to you. We lost Linda, our daughter in 1997 and can only share in the grief you feel. It is just the worst to lose a child. Ryan and Rachel Hart are here with us in Charlotte area now.
God Bless you and give you peace,
Jim and Marge Broughman

Hello Peter, Joyce, Christina, and Seven.
I know I was just there with you to visit, but I wanted to make sure I wrote in the online journal for you. There is no doubt in my heart that Matt is having a great time in Heaven and that he's saving places for the rest of us. My only worry is for you because I know how much you miss him.
Despite the harsh circumstances, I was so happy to see everyone again. I miss you all already and I wish I was closer so I could come check up on you. Please know that I love you very much.
