Matthew Ireland Finn

This is for all Matt's family and friends! I have known Matt since he was just a kid and although I haven't seen or talked to him for many years, I have only the fondest memories of him.In reading his tributes I see he touched many,many hearts. His suffering is over and he left all of us with happy thoughts. Love, Virginia Barnwell Maclure

I will nver forget how kind Matt was to me and my daughter when we visited in Dallas. All our love and condolances to Cathy and family, Judy and Charlie Padilla

Hello, All... Matt and I weren't best of friends or anything but we went to highschooll together and he was my first college roommate at The University of Texas.

I was saddened and touched by his friend, Jenny's, email to his highscool alums.

Matt was loved by his Greenhill friends here in Dallas who still hold so many fond memories of our times with him. Matt was genuine, fun-loving, sweet, easy-going, and always someone you wanted around. His laughter was infectious, as all can attest. He just made things fun and made people feel good. His passing is heartbreaking, even to those who have not seen him in many years, and leaves a hole that hurts. We will all miss you Matt and wish the best for Cathy and your family.

Our thoughts an prayers are with Matt's family and Cathy during this difficult time. He will be missed by all.

One of the things I will miss most about Matt is the way he told a joke. He counldn't wait to get to the punch line, and would usually begin to laugh. He wanted to make sure you were going to laugh at it the way he laughed at it.

I will miss Matt's laugh the most. Big, loud and infectious. Everyone knew when Matt was laughing, because they could all hear it. The last time I spoke with him, we had a long talk, and we talked about everything but the obvious elephant in the room. ...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.

My thoughts and prayers are with Matts family and friends. I will always remember his happy smiling face and friendly greetings he would have for all. His humor and laugh will be missed.
