Not surprisingly, whenever I think of my son I can't help but think of Matt and so I felt the need to express myself. I understand your grief and am heartfully sorry for your loss. Both were bright, handsome and most importantly caring young men who left us far too early. Their smile was infectious. Though Matt came from privilege, during his visits to Grant's Farm he would always make it a point to stop and talk to me as if I were his best friend. I only wish he was aware how much I...

It's been 3 years since you became a heavenly Angel, Matt. There's not a day we don't think about you and miss you. You have given us the strength and courage to go on and live to the fullest because we know that is what you want us to do. Your and Dad's spirits surround us with love and we thank you both for all the little miracles you keep sending. I promise to do everything I can to end the opioid epidemic and help those in need. I know that is what you wanted to do. WLYWAOHAS We see your...

My heart is happy and sad for finding out this ending of such a beautiful soul. I grew up with Matt at oak hill and have many fond memories. Wish I could have stayed in touch more and contributed to all that was. I remember many birthday celebrations at grants farm and Trudy always being a down to earth staple at the sacred heart establishment. Matthew was one of few friends growing up, and my thoughts and prayers are with the entire valentine/bush clan. Sending love and light your way~
