I had just found out about Matthew. I am so very sorry for your loss. I think of him often. I remember him asking, "Am I your favorite red head?" I told him, "No, my dad´s my favorite red head. YOU´RE my SECOND favorite." Out of all the red heads I´ve taught Matthew has always been my second favorite. My prayers are with your family. Kaylene Dickinson
