Our deepest sympathy goes to your family. We had the pleasure of becoming very dear friends of Matthew. He would wander down the alley every few days just to hang out and chat. He would always come equipt with a gift for myself, a candle, a nice juicy steak, or the latest bug repellant that he thought i needed, in return I made him a shelf for his nick nacks which he had made the perfect spot for, and a lighthouse. He was so thrilled, and displayed it proudly outside of his house along with his pumpkin.
His beautiful sense of humor, and unforgetable laugh will be missed greatly.
