I pray the the Lord, Jesus, would comfort, strengthen, and grant peace of mind to your entire family, during this extremly sorrowful time of grief because of the passing of Matthew.

I knew Mathew on a personal level, and I helped him out anytime that I could. There was a time that Mathew was able to encourage and help me through a difficult season of my life. May the Lords blessings and grace be upon your family.

In the one who's power and wisdom are supreme,
