Matthew Ackerman

We are so sorry to read of the loss of your son, Matthew. What a handsome young man. Words are not adequate. This is the most profound pain, isn't it? We know this pain as we lost our precious daughter Hailee this past August unexpectedly following a short illness. She was eleven years old. Although noting we say will help you, perhaps we could offer just one small suggestion. Keep talking about him, every day. Even when you think people are tired of hearing you talk. Bring him with you and...

I did not know Matthew but he was much too young to leave you. I hope you find some comfort in the cherished memories you have of him. God Bless.

My deepest condolences to Kris and Robert at this most trying time.

We feel your pain.

Dear Kris and Robert,
You and the family are in our thoughts during this time of tragic loss. Glad I could help in a small way by picking up Barb. With heartfelt condonences. Kay and Peter Winzenried

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

There are no words to describe the effect such a loss has on a family and friends. We grow up thinking that it won't happen to us but when it does we realize how vulnerable we are. God bless Matthew's family and trust in your faith.

I pray that you will find comfort in God's promise of eternal life and remember that you are seperated from Matthew only by the number of your days left on earth.
A mother

Mary Beth & I extend our heartfelt sympathy and prayers to Robert, Kris, & Jonathan. May God bless you and your entire family in this time of sorrow.
