MATT, I WAS SOOO VERY SURPRISE TO HEAR THE NEWS. YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND MANY OF TIMES. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. YOU WAS ALWAYS CONCERN FOR OTHERS MORE THAN YOURSELF. YOU ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT. I WILL MISS SEEING YOU. YOU ALWAYS REMINDED ME OF "BONE CRUSHER" BUT YOU WERE MORE HANDSOME. I ENJOYED THE TALKS AND TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER IN FT.WAYNE BEFORE I MOVED. I'M JUST UPSET THAT I COULD NOT SEE YOU BEFORE I LEFT. YOU WILL BE MISSED AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN IN ANOTHER LIFE. LOVE ALWAYS DEE

To a nephew I never had the opportunity to meet. I still feel that you were a part of me and you will be missed by the entire Ingol family. May you rest in peace and my prayers are with the rest of your family.

Matthew,I can not believe that GOD took you from me this early. We were supposed to do this together. I feel in love with you from the first moment we met, and who would know that a year later you would be taken from me. I am sorry that you never had the opportunity to meet your son, Jeremiah, and that you will never get chances to experience many wonderful adventures with him. He is beautiful. Everyday I look at him, I can not help but see you. It makes me cry sometimes. He has your smile, your feet, even your hands. He is such a happy baby. I remember the long talks we had about living a life together and raising a family, and now that could never be. You were my friend, my confidant,my companion. I will be sure your son knows what a good man you were and to share our memories. I imagine that you are up there looking down on us, watching,and keeping us safe.I will talk with you soon my love. I hold you in my tighest, embrace, and will never let you go. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!!!!!

Little bro- I love you you always know that I will always love you the only thing in life that I wanted for you was to do the right thing. Yeah we had a knock down fights and words, but after it was said and done we still loved each other. You always told me it that it was just us, but you had to leave me and know I have to become a true trooper and handle life by myself. Love Big Red your true sister Lisa
