Matthew Thomas Eckstein

Carol and the rest of the Eckstien Clan,
My family and I were saddened to hear of Matt's passing. He was always a new smile and cozy feeling when we saw him. I can't tell you how much he helped me pass microbiology. We know he is now with God and all of us watching and helping through the good times and bad. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

To Carol, Tom and Lorrie, Jay, Chris and Brian and families;

When we first learned of Matt’s cancer, we were devastated. But we knew Matt was strong and we prayed for him constantly. Through a number of people at various churches, many faithful individuals were praying for him.

After his surgery, we prayed for and thought we would see a miracle…

During his chemotherapy, we prayed for and thought we would see a miracle…

And then,...

Carol, Tom & Family,
Our prayers are with you and your entire family in this time in your life. Be comforted to know God will keep Mathew safe and loved, as you did, until you can all be together once more.

Peg has written an entry in this book already for the family but we wanted to let you know how deeply we feel your loss and how glad we are to know that your son was such a wonderful person and that you must know he will always be with you.

All our love...

On March 28, 2004, Matt went to be with the Lord. Because of this, he feels no more pain and sheds no more tears. God is always with us and now so is Matt. I would like to say to Matt's nieces and nephews, Christopher, Thomas, Heather, Ashleigh, Adam, Emily, and Megan, that anything they do, baseball, football, cheerleading, Matt is there watching you. I had the opportunity to be with Matt the last three weeks of his life. I helped his wife, Carol, take care of him. I need to say those three...

Carol,
For 3 long years we watched you and Matt suffer. You have handled yourself with a dignity we cannot describe in words. You followed your heart and honored yours and Matts love to the highest degree. To say that you and Matt are an example of unconditional love is an understatement. Thank you for always hoping, always believing. Chris and I want you to know that we are here for you: to cry with you, to talk with you, to share memories with you. We thank God everyday that Matty...

My condolences to the family for the loss of Mathew Thomas Eckstein.

Carol & Family, I am sorry to hear of your loss, my family and I will keep you in our prayers.

To Carol & the entire Eckstein family
When I heard the news about Matt's passing, I could not believe it. We had several classes together, & he always had me laughing about something. His sense of humor & his love for Carol are two things I will never forget. I still have a picture of Matt & Carol at our Class of 1990 prom. God Bless!

Dear Carol,
We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Even though we just lived down the street, we did not know you guys other than seeing you outside from time to time and giving you some extra mulch we had one time. May God bless you and help you through this tough time.
