Not sure what to say?

Dear Stan & Kris,
We are so sorry for your loss of your son Matt. I remember him seeing him at my mother's furneral. What a handsome,happy guy! The last time I saw him was when he was little having fun with his big brother Michael! Prayers and Blessings from us to you and Matts whole family. Love cousin Deb McClelland in PA

Matt was my stepson for 23 years. I was only 24 years old when I got married to his father of three children. Thought I was ready for everything and anything. I was so in love with his dad and the kids. Life was perfect for a time. Things changed - I was a terrible step mom and so sorry and hopefully you have forgiven me. I tried my best but was so young. We had many obstacles to deal with along the way. Soon after we got married had our first child together - Nicholas. Thought things would...

Dear Evelyn,
We are deeply sorry for the loss of your daddy, MattyO. Our prayers are with you, and your entire family. May God's love, and the support of your family, comfort you in the months ahead.
With our deepest sympathy,
The Affolters - Sarah, Kim, Ben, Emily and Abby (from your preschool class)

My condolences are extended to Matthew's family. Although I did not know Matthew, I knew many members of his family. I am good friends with his Grandfather, Arne Olson, who is my next door neighbor.

When a man loses his wife, we call him a widower; when a woman loses her husband, she becomes a widow. But there is no name for a parent who loses a child - I guess it's just too awful to think of.

My heart goes out to Matthew's family.

Stephanie,
First off I just want to say that we love you and words cant express how sorry we are for your loss!! Matty was an amazing person who had a great out look on life, who could walk into a room and fill it with light and laughter. We are blessed to have known him and to have had the opportunity to experience life with him. You, and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers, please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you!

It is so sad when the best people leave us too early. Matt was definitely one of the best in the world, whose talents will be missed. His attitude in life was very uplifting and influential in our lives. Although it has been several years since seeing Matt, we understand he was a wonderful father who adored his role as a father and husband. Our memories will always shine brightly in our hearts forever. May his legacy live on through his children. Andre & Kara LeMire & Annie & Alexander...
