Matthew E. Messina

Love to all. I miss Matt beyond what I can say here. I still love him, I still miss him, and I know he is around all of us. Like you all when you pray to him Im sure you feel his presence as I do , and even at times Im not praying to him, in all those little moments when I know hes there. God Bless

As we approach yet another year of the passing of my dear friend , and son, brother , and now uncle , to the Messinas and now extended family , I still have a hole in my heart as many do.
But Ive been fortunate to see the eyes of Matty in his nephews fill that void. Yes we know he would have been an amazing uncle and father himself. But I like to think and know , for that matter , that his strengths and guidance are still transcending to them , and all of us.
Too much time has...

Sam and Jan,
You dont know me either but Sue's son was my former husband. I am sorry for your loss and thank you for your kind words to Sue and the rest of us. Tina

Sam and Jan,
You don't know me but you sent me a beautiful letter because I too have lost a son. Thank you for that.

Happy 30th birthday Matt. I love you and miss you every day but I know you're watching out for me.

love, Val

Dear Derek,

Since you opened up this quest book Jan and I have been wanting to contact you to thank you and to chat.

Just now I saw that you make another entry and I renewed my interest in contacting you.

I did a yahoo search and also called two numbers in Fl to see if they knew you since my search did not find you phone number.

Thank you very much for your caring words. I am certain that Matt has seen them and is smiling.

Me, I am glad...

I will never forget the friendship I was blessed with with Matt. June 17, Dec 1, and pretty much every day still is very hard but I feel you with me. I've since seen you in my dreams and spoken with you even on the nights I haven't asked God for a sign that you are still here. We will meet again and make sense of this all. Until then, I love you and I am forever endebted to your kindness.

To Matty and Family -

I want you to know that there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you and all of our adventures that we had at the house in albany with the three of us you me and Derrick... It is funny how much our lives have changed since then, you were back in school, Derek in FL and I am now back in Med School 1/2 way across the country.... who would have thought. Anyways... Your family is in my prayers daily, I know I cant even imagine how difficult...

Dear Matt, I think about you every day and know that a part of you is still here with us and always will be. You will always live on in our hearts. You're one of our own special angels now, God speed, till we meet again.
Love, your cousin
Kathy
