Denis, Francine and family... I was so shaken to hear of Matty. So many good people are taken from us. He was so sweet and kind and an AWESOME kid but that is only because he came from great parents!! He will always be remembered!

To Matty's family & friends,
It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
With loving memories of Matty may your sorrow fade.

To the Holmes family , Me and My family are very sorry for your great loss.I coached the Nativity CYO baseball team for 12 years, Matt and Denis both played for me as did around 200 others , I learned alot from my players,no matter thier skills on the field, good players or bad ,they all became a part of my family, I get rewarded every time I see a former player of mine and they just say HI or HELLO, Mike or MR. Rad or Coach. Matt was one of these great kids he was allways so respectful...
