Matthew had a tender soul. I spoke with him just 2 weeks prior to his departure. He so missed his Sasha.
I worked with him years ago. Because he was so sweet I bought him a bible he wanted for his birthday.
He was a great friend to my daughter and kind to everyone he met.
He will be missed.....until we meet again.
