Beth, I had many phone calls to tell me the news about Matt. I am so sorry! I just have no words. I can't believe he is gone. I just went through all my pictures and found some from years ago. I am sending them to you. I threw some in of Katie too. She was such a cutie! I wish I could make it to Matt's memorial, I really do. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you always. The next time I am back in NY (hopefully soon)I will make time to come see you. Till then please keep in touch. Home 303-768-8312 and cell 720-934-9188. e-mail [email protected]. Love and miss you! Enjoy the pics.

My nephew Matthew is a kind and loving person who is devoted to his mother my sister Bethie Pearson. I truely believe life changes and is never taken away. I know Matt is with my brother Patrick, my Grandparents, my Auntie Joan and Uncle George and likely they are all down the street from my father Larry Pearson Sr, well as the rest of the Pearsons. At the appointed time we will all be together again.

Matt I miss you like hell. What more could describe losing you than a bright light being shut off out of the blue? I miss your calls demanding to hang out and have fun. I miss our jokes that only a few people could get. I miss the adventures we had every time we hung out. You lived life like it was the last day everyday. I'm glad we got to spend what little time we had together. Twenty years isn't enough. One hundred years wouldn't have been enough for you! I could imagine you being an brittle old man pulling the same antics and having that great laugh. You were someone I could share my deepest secrets with. A piece of my flesh, my blood, is gone and it hurts. But your spirit is strong. You were my brother in Wicca, my cousin, and one of my closest friends and I will love you with all my heart until we meet again. Then we can start where we left off and be goofs all over again. Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again my friend.

Matthew is my best friend. He lived a great life it's a shame it ended short but in those 20 years he greatly impacted my life and dozens others . He will forever be remembered by all. Thank you Matthew for the years you spent with me and enhanced my life. There is not one hour that goes by in my busy life that I don't think about you.

Beth,

Please get in touch with me. H-865-9000, C-766-1952. We will be home on Wed. I think of you often and have wondered where you were and how you were doing.
Hope to see you soon Love Yvette
