Not sure what to say?

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you so much.

Matt always had a friendly smile on his face. He was such a good guy who really cared about his friends and co-workers. He will be missed so much.

Eternal Rest, grant onto Matt, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace.
