Matt R. Stokes

Hi Matt, It hurts to think that you are gone forever from our lives. I have to keep reminding myself that it's okay, that one day I will see you again. I see by the entries here that you were a very caring person and that you touched so many lives.

As your only Mother-In-Law, I remember the talks we used to have, some of which I will hold forever in my heart, some that no one will ever know about because it was confidential information that you trusted me with.
