Anne Marie,
When I heard about the accident I was going to work and my gut just told me that I knew one of them. I was at a meeting late in the day when I received the call. Needless to say, I needed to gather myself and return to my meeting but my heart, thought, and prayers have been towards you and your family. Words can't express the feelings and thoughts and loneliness. Please keep the faith, even during these tough times. I'm working today, Sunday but I wish I could be at the service. I've already stopped and said a prayer for you. Take care of yourself.

Dear Anne Marie and Joe,

I cannot express to you how deeply saddened I am about your tragic loss of your most precious son Matt. My heart aches for you and everyone else who knew Matt and loved him so deeply.

You have been, and will remain to be, in my constant thoughts and prayers.

I can't imagine the pain and sorrow you must be enduring. I can only pray that you may somehow be comforted by all Matt's friends and your family and friends who love you each with all their hearts.

I believe that God is holding you two so close in His loving arms, and that Matt is smiling down on you with all his love and gratitude as his precious Mom and Dad!

Anne Marie - You are one of my most treasured friends and I love you with all my heart. Please know I am here for you always.

With love and deepest sympathy,

Theresa Rainey and family, and my mom Mary
