Gail, Nancy, Lynn and family:
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Matthew. He was one of the few remaining cousins that I had left. Matt was always very pleasant and kind in his words and actions. I am sure you will all miss him. My daughter and I had the opportunity to visit him and Gail two summers ago while we were in Toronto and it was good to see him. We enjoyed the hospitality extended to us by him and Gail. May he rest in peace. Sincerely, Anne and Nancy Lyzaniwski.
