Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Our time together was short but sweet. You and I had an instant connection. You came into my life when I needed someone to remind me of the simple things. You had no problem telling me how you really felt. You knew in your heart we we're going stay connected in some way or another for a very long time. You had what I called BIG PLANS. lol I was in a very confusing time in my life but, you were so sweet,kind, and loving. You kept me laughing. I will always remember you singing to me in the car...

Ive know Matt since third grade he was my first crush... lol I remember bringing him a big chocolate heart for valentines day and thats when our friendship begun. Matt and I have reconnected over the past several years and became very close as adults.. I will truly miss him as I already do. My sympathy and love goes out to his family! ❤

I'm going to miss you so much. I'm so sorry for what happened to you. This feels like it can't be real. You watch over me. Love ya, bestie.

Holding you all in prayer for peace and strength. Love to you always.

My deepest sympathies ! Granny Patty is taking good care of him.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your son today and always.

My heart goes out to you, Libby and Steve. There are no words that I could say that could ease the pain and sorrow you are having to experience. My fervent prayer is that God will give you both a special anointing of His Mighty comfort and peace to endure. His power, mercy and love will help sustain you. God bless you both.
