Dear Wilson Family,

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss. Matt was a pretty good friend of mine as well as my boyfriends. Matt was a fun guy and had a lot of life and energy. I was an 05 graduate with Matthew and I met him senior year. He was a great guy. I will keep you all in my prayers as well as i will never forget the great man your son was.
