My condolences to the Yount family. I am an employee of U.S. Steel. I never met Matthew personally but communicated with him by email and phone when I needed files from the Annandale Archives. He was always so pleasant and helpful. He will be sorely missed.

My heart is breaking with you and for you - all of Matthew's family. I'm sure Matthew grew to be as kind and decent a man as I knew him to be a sweet and loving boy. I can hardly believe he is gone. Heaven is the greater and we are the lesser for it. My deepest sympathy is yours.

Becky, I met you at rose nails, and I have been praying. Thank you for sharing with me and I shared in my Sunday school class and asked that they pray for you. You are sweet and so blessed to have met you. Prayers and hugs. Praying Gods peace will comfort you knowing he is walking the streets in heaven, hand in hand with Jesus. In Christ's love.
