Dear Mark and Colette,

I am a member of St. Peter and went

to school with Margaret. I am so

sorry to hear of your loss. We lost

a cousin in a similar way and we know how hard this is for you. Your

son was obviously a wonderful young man and I pray that those memories will comfort you now and always.

God bless you and your family.

Mark-



I am so sorry to hear about your loss. God richly blessed you with allowing you to have Matthew in your life. He sounds like he was a joy and will truely be missed. I don't know if you remember me or not we were in youth group together at St. Peter's UCC. My maiden name was Eschberger. I have often wondered over the years what happened to you and others that we were in youth group together.

May God give you and your family the strength and encouragement that you need through this difficult time.

In His Love,

Lanell
