Jimmy, Sandy & Candace,
We have just heard about Matthew,we are all so saddened. It saddens me that as a family we weren't there for you, when you needed us most...but we are here now...You're in our thoughts and prayers. I have no way of contacting you, hoping you will contact me.

I'm holding you in prayer. We have the same burden because our sons have gone home before us. Remember that you are never alone.

Happy Birthday Matt. It seems like just yesterday I got the tragic news about you passing. I think about you all the time man and just want to let you know now how much you mean to me. I considered you one of my best friends that I could tell anything and would do anything to get to talk to you or see you again. You were such an amazing person that had the potential to do anything and that is why God chose you to take you. I know you are in a better place because you are so happy when I see you in my dreams. I cannot even begin to put it into words how much I miss you bro. It meant the world to me that your mom allowed me to select the song that they played at your wake. "Beautiful Things" by Andain the Gabriel and Dreseden Remix on Tiesto's Nyana cd. I was then honored to be one of the pallbearers at your funeral. All the memories I have from when you were here with us and from your services I will keep with me forever. Today is your 21st birthday and all of us are not mourning but instead celebrating the times we were able to spend with you. I have talked to your mom and all the homies today and everybody misses and loves you. Your spirit will live on with us forever Matt and you will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Matt I will see you at the crossroads.

I can still hear Matthews voice all the time when I am around his friends. I can see in my head the way he smiles, sings, and drives. All my memories are not enough. But until I meet him in Heaven, they will have to suffice. Matthew was a best friend to me and I cherish every moment I ever spent with him. Every hug, every sneeze was a moment of his life I will forever miss.

Sandy, I am so sorry for your loss. I know Matthew is with you every second of your life now watching and protecting you.

I miss and love you dearly Matthew Brain Ramirez. See you at the gates.

et je trouve moi-même sentiment à l’obscurité
essaie de vous trouver
et je sais que vous êtes ici, et non pas ici
et de la meilleure que nous puissions jamais le faire
est de passer par dans l’obscurité
cause si nous avons parlé, nous serions exécuter afin que
nous sommes avec cette distance
entre nous ici et non pas ici
et nous respirons chaque autre respirer
et nous pensons chaque autre seulement dans nos coeurs

-----------

and i find myself feeling in the dark
trying to find you
and i know that you’re here, and not here
and the best that we may ever do
is pass by in this darkness
cause if we touched, we’d hold hands and run
so we stand with this distance between us
and we breath each other’s breathe
and we feel each other only in our hearts

Thank you for visiting me in my dreams Matthew.
Love, Tifani

Dear Sandy,
I can't begin to imagine the pain that you must be feeling. To loose a child before your own life ends is not the normal course of events. God must have very special plans for Matthew - ones that supercede anything that we could ever know here on earth.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
