Chad Michael Matthews

Robyn, I just want to tell you how deeply saddened my heart is for you.
What a fine young man you raised to be so loving and kind.I remember when he held our sweet Louie IV in his arms. Robyn----you were such an inspiration to me when Louie was born---you were living testament that everything was going to be okay and that so much joy was ahead for me. I will always be grateful for your open conversation and compassion. Soon your heart will fill with joy...I just know it...and that joy will...

Dear Robin,
Knowing Chad was to simply love Chad. It happened about 2 minutes after I met him for the first time! I remember how he became so important to a group of pre-school children--"Mr. Chad"... I remember Chad volunteering and he and George sitting cross-legged on the floor of your office helping out during Honey Sunday time. He seemed to carry with him a quiet knowledge of life and I was blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Paul, Mark and Jenny, I wish...

Chad, it is really hard for us to grasp that you are no longer with us. In the short time we were blessed with your presence, you endeared us to you in so many ways.

We looked forward to seeing you and spending time with you. You were always a pleasure to be around and added so much love just being you.

Morgan and Keira especially will miss seeing you, as they both enjoyed being around you and communicating with you. Although they are very young, they, I believe, will...

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Chad. Memories are a cherished thing at times of grief and loss, I am sure you have many wonderful memories of your precious Chad! I sure do think of his beautiful smile when I think of Chad! I also remember the way he so carefully held my baby Louie in his arms with such pride! What an awesome young man he was!!! He gave so much to this world! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My deepest sympathy, Jill Rotella

Robin, you especially are in my thoughts as you grieve Chad's loss. I remember what a wonderful son he was to you and how close you both were. You were the wind beneath those wings he was able to spread so far.

Chad was a very important person in our lives and we will all miss him. Chad always had a smile on his face, love in his heart, and a hug for Paul, Keri, and I. We have such fond memories of him and the time we knew him and time we spent with him was precious to us. Chad taught us the simple pleasures of life and how to enjoy them. He will be missed by all.
Again, we want to express our...
