Matthew was the most honest, kind and gentle young man that one could ever meet. He was very worthy of emulation. And this broken world would be a much better place if we could be more like him. This marks two years since he went to be with his Savior, Jesus, in Heaven. Safe in Jesus' arms, I pray!

Rich, I watched your kids grow up over the years we worked at Nortel. I am so sorry for your family's loss. I can't believe this has happened. Matthew was so smart and so good with computers. He had a great teacher, his dad. My prayers for you all.

It has been one month ago today that we lost our son Matthew. He was such a joy in our lives and we miss him very much. The one saving grace is that he is with the Lord now, safely in his arms. Matthew, it's not good-bye, it's until we meet again! We love you!

Susan, I wish I could find the words to express how I feel for you at this time. There are just no words that can help. I cannot say that I know how you feel because I don't and I know there will always be an empty place in your heart. You know he is in a better place and that helps. I am at a loss for words to tell you how I feel I just wish I could hug you right now and let you know how much I care for you and Richard. Please give my love to all. My prayers are with your family at this time. I love you and Richard.
With deepest sympathy
