Today is the day after Thanksgiving, 2012. I think about you every holiday. I miss you. Today I was driving home from work and there was a young man standing at the bus stop wearing a bright yellow jacket that looked like you. I had to pull over and have a good cry. It never goes away, the pain of loosing a child. I think about the christmas season coming up and how you took the time to make sure you had the perfect present for everyone. I remember your last christmas how excited you...

Matt I Don't Know Where To Begin But I Do Know That I Miss u More Then Anything. The Time We Spent Together Was Always Fun And Needless To Say Never A Dull Moment.U Where A Loving And Nice Guy To Be Around. U Never Know How Close Someone Is To U Till U Lose Them. I Wish That For That Night You And I Could Have Been In Eachother's Shoes. You Where Always Good To EveryOne And Never Meant Any Harm. I Fell Bad About What Hapeen But There Is Nothing That I Can Do To Change It.I Will See You Soon...

I wish the family the best ever and I will be thinking of you always. much love, charlie

Dear Matt,
It's been three weeks since you've been gone. We miss your happy smile. We miss your mischief and zest for life.
I remember the day you were born. Your Mom was so happy and thrilled to have a boy. I remember my son, Brad, grinning from ear to ear at "his" boy. He couldn't wipe that smile off his face. I remember when your big brother, Mark, got upset with me because I took "his baby" home for a night.
Grandpa and I love you and miss you each day. We keep...

My beautiful blue-eyed spunky Mattie. From the time he was a babe he fell asleep anywhere, anytime that it was convenient. As an adult, he would sleep enroute here and there--his idea of time management! Always leaving or talking about leaving--the mover and the shaker. Matt's charm touched thousands in his 21 years with us. Anybody who met Mattie will always remember that twisted half smile chased by the twinkle in his eyes. Dude never had a shortage of wit or humor. There was the right way,...

Matty will always be in my heart.

Matty has always been his own person,with a very strong will of his own. From the day he was born, which by the way he took 22 hours to decide to show the world his smile, till the day he went home to be with God. And Im sure even with God he has tried to tell him, how its going to be. When Matty was in 10th grade I was getting calls from the school every few days that Matty was disruptive in class, not doing his work ect, ect... Matty has always been very social. Well I thought if I...
