Time flies. I have not written in this guest book in months. I hope you stand by my side...I need you now for strenght more than ever. I miss you. Things stink and they can only can get better and I really hope you can help me.

I looked forwared to seeing you everyday and just chatting and up. Remember you have so much to offer and you still do, even if you are not here with me. I miss you Matty.
