To the Peeler Family - You all remain in our thoughts and prayers. Matt was a regular at our Thursday night men's fellowship and Bible study. Although we only knew Matt for 6 months, he really touched our lives. He always spoke with so much love and admiration for his parents, siblings and children. We pray that God would comfort all of you during this time of mourning.
