Dear Mr. and Mrs. Byk,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Matt.
I attended Holy Family School and Powers Catholic High School with your son.
I remember what a kind young man he was.

I am a Catholic priest in the Diocese of Raleigh, NC.
I will be offering a Mass for the repose of Matt's soul.

Please know that I will keep you both, and especially Matt, in my prayers.

Take care and God bless you.

In Christ,
Fr. Tom Duggan
