We would be celebrating your 38th birthday today! I wonder what you would have been doing in life at this age. Probably own your own security company! Or a detective or something like that. I miss you and looking forward to seeing you again.
Happy birthday, Matthew

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Matt, I think about you every day and I miss you much. Life WOULD be better if you were around because life without the ones you love can seem less than. I know you and Teah would really enjoy each other and of course you would be over the moon with your son, lil' Matt! I know that you in a better place, but still wish you were here. I don't think the Rapture is far off, so I guess I WILL see you soon;o)! Love you always, Auntie

Auntie

November 1, 2008

Matt, I miss you and can't stop thinking about you. Whenever Matteah sees your picture she says "Kiss the Mattboo!". Even in death you are still loved by someone who never knew you! I remember the last time I saw you 2 years ago this day at around 6pm...you rubbed my belly and laughed because I really starting to show, not knowing 4 hours from then you would leave this life as we know it. I miss you so much I wish you were here with the family. I know you would have adored Matteah and been thrilled to have a son (who looks just like you)! But a time is coming when we will all be re-united at the coming of CHRIST and I earnestly look forward to that day. I just had to let all who read this know that you will NEVER be forgotten and FOREVER LOVED!!!!!

Janelle Nicholson

June 15, 2008

Today's your first Fathers' Day and your not around to enjoy it,
But here's a photo of your son as handsome as you can bet.
Wish you were here to sit and talk to me!

I know that I wasn't the best aunt
I have to let you know I love you
I miss you endlessly!

Forget this poem
I want you home
Why'd I ever let you leave!

Sometimes I feel alone
Because you're gone
But my Spirit won't let me grieve.

I guess you're with CHRIST
In heavenly paradise
I'm sure time come we'll again meet!

But for now
I try not to furrow my brow
Because I want you here.
In my thoughts I have you near
And in my heart I hold you dear.

It's such a blessing to know
we have a lil' Matt here!

I and others who knew Matt are saddened at the ending of his life so soon, when he had so much potential to do well in life. We are also glad to know that his faith was in God, who has the last word, even conquering death.

MATTHEW,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY...OTHER THAN I MISS YOU, YOUR PRESENCE, YOUR SMILE, YOUR LAUGH, THE JOY YOU COULD BRING INTO A ROOM, AND WHEN YOU WOULD GET IN MY CAR CHANGING THE RADIO LIKE YOUR NANA. GOD HAS CALLED YOU HOME TO BE AMONGST THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN TO WATCH OVER US. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THAT ONE SWEET DAY WHEN WE'LL BE CALLED UP TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: AND SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD AND YOU ONCE AGAIN. MAY GOD REST YOUR SOUL FROM THIS WEARY LAND AND YOU BE BLESSED BY THE HEAVENS FOREVER! ALL MY LOVE, MS. JONES

we spent so little time together but with you it seemed like eternity and because you were so unique in so many ways,you touched so many hearts and still had so many more to touch,with out you my life feels uncomplete,and my heart has a constant echo of pain because you are no longer there to heal it from time to time,but now it's time for you to rest your aching heart and your weary eyes until it's time for you to return to us,until then forever in our hearts our matboo. forever your little bro

I saw him last about two weeks ago at club Peaches -N- Cream. He hung out a little while , talked a little junk and made us all smile . He had a way with words. We all know him by the nickname (TASER). He picked that name up when he used to work there. He was a strong young man. He did,nt take no mess off anybody. Backing down was,nt in his nature. He'll be missed by a lot of people.

I saw Matthew just one hour before the incident. he came to me and we talked for about 15 minutes. before we went our seperate ways, I told him as I always do, I love you and you be safe out here. I had told him this so many time I never thought that would be the last time. Matt, was my security whenever I was with him I always felt so safe. I loved him like a brother because he is my brother. Now I just have good memories to think back on. Matthew I will never forget you, and I will always love you, watch after me, I'll see you when I get there.

When I seen Matt last week he asked me when I was going to braid his hair at that moment I had no idea that he would be gone the next week. when I heard that he was gone it shattered my whole heart. Matt will be deeply missed by me and many other people that knew him. And I send my deepest sympathy to his family.
