I want to thank each and everyone of you who took the time to share your well wishes and memories of my brother with my family. It is hard to believe it has been six months since Matty's passing. I come back and read these entries every now and again and although they often make me weep the theme that makes me happy is that so many of you comment on his smile and sense of humor. I love and miss my brother dearly and knowing that many you did / do as well helps quite a bit.

Dear Jane, Gerry, Jennifer, Sean and Jackie,
I hear the news about Matt yesterday, and instantly I went back in time to when we were kids hanging out at the Geoffrion's house in Ipswich at one of the many family gatherings. Then I thought about how in high school we had friends in common and we all went to a few rock concerts together and he was so much fun to hang out with. I hadn't seen him in a long time and now I really regret that. Matt achieved so much in his lifetime, and he lives on in you and his children. May you find comfort in the knowledge that he was loved by many and will never be forgotten. With lots of love, Susan
