Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to William and the entire Matthews family. Growing up on Robeth Lane in Wethersfield, we next door neighbors and had many happy times together. I know that Jason's loving parents would be very proud of his accomplishments and would have expected nothing less.

A childhood friend is a forever friend no matter how far away life takes us. Memories of my dear lifelong friends and neighbors, the Matthews, kept coming back to me all last week. Now I know why.

Jason was always smart, funny and a joy to be around. We were classmates at W&L. Saw him at a reunion a few years ago and enjoyed being with him, although briefly. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife and daughters.
