Matthew K. Ware

Lori and family,
We have never had the opportunity to meet your family, Lori, but our heart goes out to you at this time. Children are not supposed to get seriously ill and die before their parents! Martin had cancer surgery and chemotherapy three years ago and continues to be clear. We will keep you in our prayers. "Tomorrow is not promised us, so let us take today, and make the very most of it, the once we pass this way."

I never met Matt but I was at the hospice center with my daughter Heather the week Matt passed. Heather was 21 yrs old also dying of cancer so naturally it came to my awareness they had another young person there as well. I wish I had spoken to the family then but I did not want to intrude. Heather passed away May 12, 2007. I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathies..one parent to another...my heart bleeds for you and with you. Through the pain I hope you can also find peace.

I also, followed Matt's updates and progress these past few years...even though I don't know the Ware family ,I know what your going through, as I lost my son also.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child.

My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian...

Even though I never personally met Matt, I had the benefit of following along with the email postings that the family shared. I can't help but wonder how many people that came to know Christ by coming in contact with Matt and the entire family. My family and I will continue to pray for the family's peace and comfort in knowing that Matt has made that final journey to his eternal home. And Jesus has received him with a big smile and statement of "well done good and faithful servant." God...

Mitch, Lori, and family,

Praying God's comfort and peace for you in the coming days. From an earthly cancer journey to walking streets of gold...all in God's plan for Matt.

Although we met because of brain cancer, I treasure the shared blessings, encouragement,and tears.

Aloha,
Ruth, Zach, and CeCe (Ellison) Miyagawa

Mitch, Lori, Dan, Tim, Scott,
The following lyrics were in a song that I was singing this morning before Matt's memorial service, and I couldn't help but think of Matt. I hope they remind you of Matt's eternal home with Christ Jesus every time you think of them.
"I will rise from waters deep into the saving arms of God. I will sing salvation's song, Jesus Christ has SET ME FREE!" God's grace and peace cover you today.

Mitch, Lori, Daniel, Tim and Scott,
