It's hard to believe so much time has passed so nice you left us all behind. I haven't talked to your momma in ages, but I hope she knows she holds a place on n my heart as do you. You were so sweet and so funny. I miss you all. My son, Jerry, is gone now too. If you see him, tell him he is loved.

Carolyn, I miss you and Matthew so much. Meeting you both was a joy. Matthew's sense of humor and gentle caring was obvious from the little time I got to spend with him there in Florida and your caring and straight speak won my heart so quickly. Sadly, so many of the family is gone now and I haven't been able to reach you on the phone. Just know I love you and if you ever need me, I am here. I remarried and am now Brenda Hauswirth.

Hi Matt! I've been thinking a lot about you, your mom and Joe and the kids today so I thought I'd drop you a line too. I've decided the REAL horror of getting older is losing everyone you love to death and while I'm sorry you're gone; especially for your Mom's sake, you won't have to go through all that pain so in some way, I'm also envious of you. I didn't get the chance to know you super well, but I have to say you made a lasting impression on me. You were so sweet and kind with a wicked sense of humor and a killer accent. Also, a looker too. I come on here occasionally so I just wanted you to know you're still thought of and remembered. Give your Mom a big old kiss for me. She's a keeper and I'm glad she finally found someone to love and to love her because she misses you guys like crazy and I was super worried about her.

mom

July 7, 2013
