He is watching all of us live life while he is enjoying paradise standing next to God and hoping that instead of everyone shedding tears they would smile and have good memories of him. May Matt rest in peace and we shall all meet him when it is our time to go stand next to God.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
