My husband and I would like to convey our deepest condolences to Mr. Matt's bereaved family. I've only known him briefly (he was the best man and I was the maid-of-honor in my little sister's wedding almost 7 years ago), but he was such a joy to be with, and a very good man. May God comfort all of his loved-ones during this time of sadness. Sending our love and prayers from the Philippines.
