Matthew Che Freeman

Good morning Matt. I woke up this morning thinking of you. Just wanted you to know. Still sending you love and thanks for our friendship. Russ Leander

12/13/2024 Dear Matt, I often wonder whether you chose Friday the 13th on purpose or whether it was chance. I´ve always thought that you chose it, but way too sadly you aren´t here to ask. Today is Friday the 13th, and while I always miss you - for whatever reason, today I feel it more. I love all of you, the teeny baby that snuggled in my arms, the toddler who woke up from naps yelling "Haaamy, want fumpf fries", the gapped tooth little boy that found wonder in everything, the nerdy...

Every year it seems more and more unbelievable that you are gone! I miss you and your take on what is going on in the world. Love, Poppa

Hi Matt: I think of you. Still. Love, Russ Leander

Becky notes you would have been 45. Unbelievable. And it is 21 years. Also unbelievable. But believe we love you and miss you so much! I keep wanting to turn to you and ask you about things. There is, as she says, nothing new to say and everything to say. Love, love, love...

Matt, Yesterday would have been your 45th birthday. How I wish you were here to celebrate with. Thinking about you constantly lately. It´s that time of year, again. There is everything still to say, and there is nothing new to say. Miss you always. Love, Tante Becky

In 2 days it will be 20 years! 20 years sounds like such a long time. It IS such a long time! And, yet, while it doesn't seem like yesterday it is still very much there, very painful, very sad. There would have been a lot that you would have hated about this world, but it needed you very badly.

19 years, Matt, 19 years. None of us can believe it. Who would you have been now? We miss you, and love you very much.

Matt, today you would be 43! So hard to think, so long to miss you. We had dinner tonight with Cathy and Maurice, Becky and Bill, and Janet Schwartz in your memory. We love you very much.
