Matthew Bynum Smitherman

Dear Dean, Sue, Deanna, Bryce and Emily,

I am so sorry I missed Matthew’s memorial service. I really wanted to attend. I was so sad to hear of his passing, and I wanted to be there for you. I somehow missed the date of his memorial. Mom loved him and told me all about his bravery, and knowing your family, I know what a sweet and brave young man he was. You are truly special, and he had a life that was enviable thanks to your love and care. You are so special and I think of...

So sorry to hear about Matthew.May god bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We will always remember Matthew on the riding mower, waving and flashing those pearly whites!! He was one-of-a-kind, God's special child. So glad he's flying free!!

We will miss you Matt

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bryce and Deanna
Things will never be the same for the two of you but we all must be happy for Matthew because we know he is with our Lord and must be having the time of his life. May you find comfort in knowing this. Just know that Robert and I will be here for the two of you as you have been for us.

Sue Dean and all the family
I’m so sorry to hear this. Matthew was a very special young man. He was very special to our mom. She loved him dearly
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Much love to all of you.
