Matthew Alan Thornton

Thirteen years!

I'm sure time is nothing to you anymore. You must be so happy with so much family around you, now. So many gone before we were ready for y'all to leave. I was thinking about you and Mark, just the other day, and fun times at Lib's house. You are missed and thought of often. We'll all see each other, again, someday!

Hi Matt,

It's so hard to believe that you've been gone for two years now! So many things have changed and yet they remain the same. I miss your big smile and big hugs more than you can ever imagine. I miss you sprawling out across my lap and scratching your back for as long as you wanted me to. I so wish I could see you just one more time to tell you how very much I love you and what a wonderful son you were and how very proud I am of you!! I know that you are in good hands now...

Happy Birthday Matt!!!! We love you and think about you all of the time.

We know you and Bonnie are having a great time up there!!!

Love You Always!!!

Heather and Megan

Joe, Teresa, and Mark
I am still thinking of you and your neverending heartache for losing Matt. He was a special young man and I will always remember him together with you, Mark, and the mischieviousness that you both displayed whenever you had the chance. Yes, we all miss him and long to see him again.
Love, Cindy

Happy 23rd Birthday Matt!! Have a wonderful day in Heaven son and tell everyone I said hello. I miss you more with each passing day and will love you forever in my heart. Take care Mattie!! Love always, Mom

Joe, Teresa and Mark,

I think about Matt all the time, but I know right now is especially hard on you guys and the many people that loved him. Please try to stay strong and remember that Matt will always be with all of us! I will always love him, and forever miss him! You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Joe, Teresa, and Mark - Matthew is still in my thoughts are prayers often, as all three of you are also. Your family are some of the best friends I have ever had. Rest assured I will never forget any of you.

Teresa,Joe and Mark,

I can not find the words to express my sympathy and heartbreak for you and your family. I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that the love provided by your family and friends will surround and comfort you in these days of pain and sorrow following the loss of Matthew.
