Matt was a good friend of mine from Ione. I loved him dearly, I had no idea that he had passed until tonight. I will always remember our fun nights of bike riding and dancing.

Dear Marilyn, Kim and Treva,
We recently learned about Matt's passing and we offer our deepest sympathy, love and prayers. Our memories of Matthew were many; he was full of life, a beautiful child with blond curly hair and always running through the streets of Los Altos following us girls (Kim, remember? lol :-) Those were such wonderful memories we will never forget. Lots of love to you all, from Los Altos: Jeanne, Lesley, Nancy & Patti Hillyer
