LOVE YOU MISSING YOU SO MUCH EVERYDAY. FOREVER IN MY HEART

Matt, I love you and miss you so much. I pray for you every morning and think about you every day. I love reminiscing about times we spent together and things you’ve said in done. Oh how I wish you were still here to make more memories and to hug and kiss you. I know one day we will meet again and then we will be reunited for eternity. Love you so much

Matthew I think of you daily, visit you often but still have a giant hole in my heart from losing you. Big Brother started last night, all I could do is cry because that was "Our show." We would text back and forth ferociously about the contestants. Once the show ended you would call me and then the shade would start. Although our friendship was brief, only a few years it was organic, honest and would have lasted forever. Both your life and death have impacted me significantly. You were genuine, honest, kind, compassionate and wise beyond your years. I miss you more today than yesterday, and will miss you more tomorrow than today. ♥ Wanda

Dear sweet Matthew. It's so very hard everyday for your mom. Not having u here is a loss no words can explain. Keep those signs coming. You are so loved and soooo missed. Beautiful Angel.

I'm sorry you have left us.
I'm sorry we had not spoken in some time.
I wish you would've called me.
I know your soul is in the loving arms of The Lord.
You are at peace.
Love always.

Matt, Life is so different without you. I miss the little things. Big Brother isn'teven the same. Writing your Eulogy was by far one of the hardest things I've ever done. I spoke from the heart like you told me to do when I had to deliver my Dad's Eulogy. I hope I did you justice, although how could I describe and pay tribute to such a dynamic person in a hundred words or less? Luv, know this I miss you more today then yesterday and will miss you more tomorrow then today!

My Matt,
We've had many peaks and valleys throughout our friendship but at the end of the day I wouldn't have had it any other way because it always brought us closer together in the end. I will carry your memory and all you taught me forever in my heart and on my mind. I love you, until we meet again. Watch over your mother, and keep us safe. I love you forever and a day.

I guess by now I should know enough about loss to realize that you never really stop missing someone-you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence.
I Loved you every day of my life & now I will Miss you every day of my life! ??
Another piece of my heart is forever gone ??

Dear Chetta,
With all the hurt I feel over this, it can't be comprehensible to what you must be going through.
Matt was an angel before he became one and will always be remembered as such. He was a special and thoughtful Godfather, and will live on in our hearts forever.
Love you. xoxo

I will be thinking of you ALL this morning and will definitely keep you all in my prayers as today will be the toughest day of your lives. God bless and know how much YOU and Matthew are loved.

Matthew you were like family! You may be gone but you'll never be forgotten. I wish you were still here to come down with Kenny to see me get married. I know you'll be there in spirit! Now we have another angel watching over our family. My heart goes out to your family, and friends especially Kenny you were one of his bestest friends for many many years, you'll always remain in our hearts. I wish I could come say my last goodbyes, but I promise when I come visit boston I'll come visit your grave. Rest easy handsome we love you!
