Wayne, I am deeply sorrowful and regret to hear about the loss of Matt. I offer no words other than, I know your and Susan's faith in Christ Jesus and know he is well with Him. May the Holy Spirit and your loved friends and family bring you peace and love that can not come from this world. I will be praying for you both.

Regrets,

I have known Matt for as long as I can remember. We were roommates back in our younger years and I have such great memories of our friendship. I was quite shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his sudden passing. Matt was always such a good friend to me and anyone he cared for and I feel so fortunate to have spent the time with him that I did. My heart goes out to all that loved him.
