Rick,
There are no words...But in your heart, you will keep the memory of Matt, the first time you held Matt in your arms,holding his hand on his first day of school, watching him grow, the sparkle in his eyes, his smile, his laughter, his hugs, his "I love you's." That will keep you strong in the days, weeks and years to come. Most importantly, you must know that he is an angel with God, and now holding Debbie's hand, reminding you of what a blessing and honor it was to have you as a husband and father, as there is never anything as sacred as that.
-Much love and prayers,
Brian and Barbi Zilch
