Matthew,
I never had the honor of knowing you. I know that you and my son are now great friends up in Heaven, and you both are at peace. Your great aunt Ann is my neighbor, and we grieved together. My son just left us this past December. He was 30. We never know when the Good Lord will take us from our families. We, the families that are left behind have to believe and have faith though during the most difficult time of our life, that God took you from us way too soon, for a good reason. Send your family beautiful signs like my son has done for me. It is so comforting. May God bless you sweetheart, and lift your soul to be with Him in Eternal everlasting life.
