Not sure what to say?

Dear Linda, Charlie, Alex and Mirela,

I became aware of Matt way over ten years ago through one of our shared passions - the Python programming language. He as well as me were frequent contributors to the back then very relevant newsgroup about that programming language - which prided itself for it's welcoming nature to newbies, which he has been a contributing factor to.

A few years later, he applied for a job at my company. I was thrilled to meet somebody I held in high...

Matt was my lead engineer at Goodscloud in Berlin, I've been working with him for 3 months. He was smart, had excellent technical skills (really) but above all he was a genuine truly gentle soul. I will never forget his humanity.

Matt always had/has a way of making people laugh. He's a wonderful precious gift to our lives.
Thank you Matt for being here.
I'm sad your gone.

Dear Linda,Charlie,and Alex,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I can not imagine how difficult has been for you. Only passage of time and his memories can help you withstand the loss and sorrow. I wish you all easier time.

Sincerely with love,
Zarrin

To the Chisholm family: So very sorry for your loss. There's really no words, except that all those good memories will heal you in time. Chas, he looked like you. I'm praying for you all.

My deepest sympathy goes to the Chisholm 's family. Very sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort be with family, and friends and be comfort by his Word at Hosea 13:14; 1 Cor.15:26)
