Matthew Robert Childs

Matthew, we are approaching the anniversary of your passing. This year is different, mom is with you. I miss you both so much. Brandi and I have been watch old home movies. It really takes me back and for that time you both are still here. It doesn't take away the emptiness but it helps sooth the pain for a bit. Miss you more than ever, especially now with mom gone. Love you both, keep watch over Brandi and tell mom I still need her, as I do my big brother. Till we meet again. All my...

Matthew, it will be 20 years without you and it has been a rough road for everyone. So much has happened and do much has changed and your absence from it all has been felt tremendously. I miss you as much now if not more. So many times I wanted to call you to tell you something or ask your advice. Death is hard only on the living and you are missed beyond words. Until we meet again know that you are loved and missed and still talked about every minute of every day!!!!!

To The Childs Family,
I'm sorry for your loss, Matt was a fine friend for me during our school years at Vo-Tech as well as a helpful co-firefighter while I was at Mission (Bordentown Township). Though I'm so far away, I have still felt the passing of another comrade. Please know that Matt's kindness has traveled long distances and he will never be forgotten.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. You are in my thoughts & prayers. Love, Emily

I am able to laugh now instead of cry. I am so lucky to have had such a person in my life. I am sure that Matt will be a part of your life forever. I know there will be brighter days ahead. Be patient. It has...
