Matt joined the Lord on a warm sunny Sunday, the Lord's Day. We will never, in this life, understand why such an incredible young husband, father, son, brother and friend to all, was stricken with such a devastating disease as cancer. Our love for Matt will never end, our missing Matt everyday, has just begun.
