Not sure what to say?

always thinking of you sorry for your loss

Meagan(and family) and Pam(and Family)
Their are not words to express what you are going through right now. Know that I am here for you if you should ever need to talk, or simply share a memory or two. I thank God for the time I was given to get to know him again. Each moment spent together means more to me than you can imagine. Those moments were a gift, and I will always have Matthew in my heart just as I have for the years we lost. All my love

I still remember cleary playing at the house on Seymour and his electronics that would be scattered all over so that he could put them back together. He loved doing that. I'll never forget his pound puppy stuffed animal that he had and I wanted it so bad! I always asked if I could take it home for a sleep over and he would never let me. In fact two years ago I found one at Wal-Mart and almost bought it. That's how many memories it brought back to me. I wish I would have. Matt was a great man....

Your family is in our family's prayers.

Megan and Family,

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

It seems like it was just yesterday that Matt and I were sitting in high school art class. Most of the time was spent playing instead of working. That was Matt. He was nothing short of light-hearted and kind-spirited. You will not be forgotten Matt.

Pam and Dave,
I didn't know Matt except through Josh, but I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. I can't imagine your grief. I can see that he was a wonderful person who was loved by many. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Meagan, Shawn, Dawn and Cassie: Matt was a very kind, gentle and intelligent man that will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. This is so very heartbreaking and I hope that you will find comfort in knowing how many lives he touched.
