Dear Heidi
Our heart goes out to you for the loss of your son. I never met Matthew but Laraine would talk about him when I would visit her. I am sorry we missed knowing Matthew as he sounded like a great guy.
We are thinking of you during these troubling times and hope that good memories stay with you and comfort you during these days and in the future.

Matt was the most amazing person that I've ever met. His love and life impacted me in the most beautiful, raw, intense ways. He was always smiling and trying to make others laugh, even when he didn't feel like doing so. He was so charismatic and had such a positive energy about him. He was my favorite person to spend time with. I will miss him with every breath that I take. This loss is devastating and will hurt for a very long time. I'll keep his dearly loved ones in my thoughts.
