Dear Dennis and Esther , I have no idea if you ever look here, but I was trying to find you and found this sad news about Matthew. I remember him as a happy curly headed little boy. I worked for you in Socorro, New Mexico. My name is Karla Brannan and you both were so good to me. I hope you read this. I just wanted to say thank you to two lovely people and so sorry about this loss. Karla Brannan 33 Jardin Rd., Los Lunas NM 87031

I had a reality check recently. I have been selfish by wishing and praying for matt 2 be back here (alive)! He is the lucky one. We still have 2 play this game we called life! Besides he can and will live on forever,since forever is a word known only 2 our hearts. I found comfort in this little quote maybe u all can too.

"And we all shall meet, know, and love them all again in another Life!!!!! When we are all cats!"

Well I have another poem again. I hope Matt's family likes this one as much as the last one. It's called "Thoughts of him".

My mind is always filled with

thoughts of him...

I try to only remember the times

from when he was alive;

and not the images that I saw of him from that night;

I miss him so bad it actually hurts;

So badly I wish with all my heart and soul that he could/should still be here with me and his daughter;

Sometimes I feel as though I would give up entirly just to be with him again or atleast see where he is;

I look at our beautiful daughter and see Matt within her little innocent face;

At times it brings me to tears since he isn't here to share her life with her;

She'll never get the chance to be"daddy's little girl" in a way;

Ederny Rose was Matt's dream,

he told me he dreamed about her and he never got to actually see his dream come true;

although Matt was pretty sure I was pregnant;

I know I'm not alone in missing him,

Yet it's different for me

because he was my life partner, my soulmate, my family;

We were just starting our lives togather finally-

by ourselves.

Me and Matt against the world;

we were going to grow old togather,

make fun of each other's wrinkles;

and planning on being bured next to each other, side by side,

even in death for eternaty;

But now none of that will ever come true for me and him;

The difference is that I have to live life dealing with the loss of him and our future;

And Matt on the other hand,

doesn't have to deal with this loss, he has no pain anymore to handle alone in this life time;

he truely has no more worries!

Here is another poem for Matt and his family. It is called "Reality of It!":

I realize that he was my only friend

he was the person that wanted my

company as much as I wanted his;

There are people I know who come by

every now and then,

but not for the same reasons like he had;

He was my best friend-

on that behalf he was my only true friend;

I really miss the companionship we shared with each other and all of our conversations we would have;

All the "what if's" "could be's" "remember when's" "back in the days" etc.;

Even the arguments we used to have with each other;

Most of them over little things or unimportant topics that were extremely unnessicary, pointless even;

Sometimes I wonder about how he would handle my situation-

like if the tables were turned and I passed away instead of him?

He would probably handle it a lot better then myself;

Why couldn't it of been me who died that night and not him?

His heart was so much more pure then mine, plus he would of lived life to it's fullest potental if not more;

All the "if only's" pass through my thoughts alot;

There are millions that come to mind, and new ones everytime I start to think about the night of the accident;

You know-

he was there for me when my family wasn't;

in the sense of him wanting to be around me, talk to me, help me live my life to my fullest;

He made me feel special, like I was worth something;

Bottom line is that I catch myself missing his eyes the most;

after all they were the windows to his true soul and they were beautiful;

They say the good always die young-

I believe that now!

Matthew means "a gift from god", and that he truelly was,

atleast in my mind's eye!!!!

With lots of love;

Amy Watson &

Ederny Rose Watson Kyser

Here is a poem I wrote for Matthew,and I would like you to have it, it's called " ":

You

with all your

gentle enlightenments

spinning like orian

and full of all the

constelations,

my soul searches for you

at the crossroads of

this life,

A pin hole of light

that softly hums and murmurs

begging for you to

come back into my view,

always searching for

a place full of flat blue skies,

the place with you!!!

To Matt's family and Friends:

I knew matthew very good and he was the most pure hearted person I ever met. He was a gift from god. I know I will never forget him as long as I live nor will I ever quit loving him deeply. I will make sure his daughter knows just how special he was. I miss him very much!! Matthew will live on through Ederny. I just wish so bad that he would of be able to share her life with me!!! She is exactly what he dreamed of and more, he would of been a great dad amd husband. Anytime you need and shoulder to cry on, an open ear to listen, or just someone to sit with I'm always going to be here!!

I still see Matthew in my dreams and I heard that when you see someone you know in your dreams, that your souls are really interacting with each other. I like to think this is true! Cause if it is he is able to be with everyone he wishes including his daughter, Ederny Rose Watson Kyser.

Again I know how Matt's passing has afected me, I know it must be even more unbearable for his mom and dad. I'm truely sorry for thier loss. I can't imagine the pain of loosing your child. I wouldn't be able to handle as well as his family has. I'm not even sure how I've been able to handle loosing him myself. Matt was my true soulmate,the love of my life and I can't wait to be reunited with him someday in heaven.

With lots of care,love and respect;

Amy Watson and Ederny Kyser

Matt's friends are deeply sorry for the loss for there family but we all still remember Matt for the great person he was, Matt and I shared the same interest in video games in fact I remember when Matt and my best friend Nick used to spend the night at my mom's house it was so much fun, we played nintendo 64 till the sun would come up and I remember the long talks we would all have about different things like life on outher planets he would always make me wounder whats the whole picture in this small world we live in. I also remember the time when Matt, Nick and I got a ride from Matt's sister in her truck I was in the bed of the truck and I was throwing rocks at passing sighns Matt's sister told me to stop and of course I didn't so she kicked me out and took off I still really don't know if matt got his sister to come back or not but they did not leave me there they just wanted to scare me.....LOL

Matthew you will be greatly missed. I enjoyed our special talks on the front porch as you'd be walking by the house. Having you in my home was always a pleasure. I watched you go from a young boy to a young man in the almost eight years we have known each other, and what a young man you became!

To the Kyser family: I am so sorry for you loss.
