I was so sorry to hear about Matt passing. He was always so lively and kept me on my toes every minute for the year I cared for him. I won't ever forget his huge smile and caring goofy nature. I'm so sorry for you, Karen, and his brothers and sister.

Dear Karen,
I know that it has been years since we have been in touch, but I was deeply sadden when I heard about the passing of your son Matt and wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am sure that this is an extremely difficult time for you and that words just can not provide you much comfort, but I wanted to let you know that it has always been clear to me how much you love all of your children and how much you give to support them.
You always provided a very real, quality type of love and that's the best in life.
peace
