Dear Susan, Steve and daughters..
My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time as you mourn the passing of beloved Matty.
Such fond memories remain in my heart watching Rachel and Matty grow through the years; I was so happy that he was able to attend Rachel's 25th birthday party at Wegman's..he seemed to enjoy himself.
You had a wonderful son who loved you unconditionally as you did him..
He will be forever remembered.
Fondly,
Susan Josephs

Thoughts and prayers and angel wings to the Dumser family... Matthew was blessed to have such a loving family--and you in turn were blessed to have such a genuine Child of God. The way you all cared for him was an example of God's love to all of us who knew you. Peace be within your hearts

Dear Steve, Susan, Carolyn and Meghan,
There is a new angel in heaven right now named Matty. He is a handsome and tall young man who is running on the beach and riding the surf. He is joyful and free, and his body is able to do all those things now, that he was unable to do in this lifetime. When you see him again, he will wrap you tightly in his arms and thank you deeply for loving him as fiercely, unselfishly and with all the grace that you did in this lifetime. He will tell you that God could have given him no better Father, Mother or adoring sisters.
Our neighborhood grieves today the loss of a young man who provided us all with such inspiration. If you met Matty once, you know what “love at first sight” meant. His spirit was infectious- and his ability to make you happy just by being “Matty” was legendary.
We send you all the love that our heart holds and support we can provide in the coming days. We will always be here for you. For the rest of our lives- we will never, ever forget your beautiful son and brother Matty, and we will always keep his memory alive.
