Hi Matty...it´s mom. I think of you every day and miss you still so much. I just celebrated my birthday... 73 years old and 23 years without being able to hug you. Hopefully someday I will be able to give you that hug. We all still talk about you, and mostly funny memories. I love you just as much as the day you were born... And like dad always says "love never dies." I really do believe that. I feel the love from you some days and I´m hoping you feel the love from me. Hope you´re making a...

Hey little brother, I found a frozen turkey in the garage freezer a few days ago, and we thawed it out and cooked it. About three bites in, I got one of those cold-cock punches in the soul remembering the story of you going on K-NIT news at SFHS, and answering the question "What are you most thankful for?" Your classmates shared their gratitude for family, for friends, for the blessings and celebrations of the holidays... you? You tucked your double chin into your chest, bugged your...

Hi. My name is John. I'm work the night shift at the Huntington. I was just walking around the Japanese Garden and thought about the last time I saw Matt. It was right where I'm standing on the zigzag bridge. It was late in the afternoon and no one was around. He told me a really funny joke and we both laughed. That was the last time I saw him. Every now and then when I walk through here last at night I think of that.

Hi Matt, I'm a perfect stranger but just wanted to let you know that your Mom touched our hearts at the Kairos mass last night speaking about how much she loves you. Sounds like you were a great guy who brought joy to many. God keep you safe. My son is graduating this year with his brother starting this year to keep the tradition alive. God Bless, Rafael

Miss you, Matthew.

Matt,

You popped in my mind today as you do every once in a while.

You remember when Fitz caught us smoking a cigarette behind the library? I was so scarred, but I tried to play it cool and laugh it off. I was only calmed cuz you were there with me. Remember how mad Brang was...Lol He was cool and never did anything. Just told us to stay out of trouble

I always remember that day.

Just wanted to say "wassup" buddy.

Hey Matt,
It's your old buddy Maynor from The Huntington, I've since moved on from there, way back in 2007. I live in San Francisco now. You popped into my head just now for no apparent reason. You sometimes do! Maybe it's a cosmic thing that we will never understand until we join you. Anyway, I was remembering how we used to clown around in the art galleries! I remember we used to come up with these ridiculous songs! Like I want to sleep with the elephants all night Remeber that one? We...

Hey Matt, miss you buddy. Pass your place often. Always think of you. Love and miss you friend.
