I still carry many memories of Matt. From making TMNT stick weapons at 8yo, to trying to watch a movie in his room in the basement while the music drowned everything out (sorry, Mr. Chew), to the Halloween parties at his apartments. I'll never forget you, my friend.

Marilyn:
As a mother who lost her child 3 years ago....I understand and share your pain and agony. I remember the times you spoke of Matt when we worked together on A3.
There are no words to convey the loss you and your family will feel. It is devastating.
As a mother....it will feel different. Not more than someone elses pain, just different because Matt was "your baby".
There are some small things that I found helpful when trying to grieve the loss of my son....

Marilyn, I believe I worked with you at Backus Hospital years ago, and our little boys Jim and Matt played together at the hospital day care. Every day you are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You and your family.

Dear Commander & Mrs. Chew, 2 Wives Pizza, and the entire Chew Family,
Didn’t know Matthew...or any of you, really, but this tragedy is so poignant, I’m compelled to offer our sincerest prayers and condolences to your family, as well as my efforts via my Ministry of Remembrance.
Understanding the hole left behind, regardless the inevitability or forewarning, pray this helps some wee bit...to allow...enable…the grief! So truly sorry to hear of your loss and this awful,...
