My college fraternity brother was such a kind a gentle soul. He had such a magnetism and kindness within him. I still can see him sitting across from me at the dinner table, and can see him laugh and smile. I'll always have that. We're all lucky to have shared our lives together. He'll live on within us as long as we all shall live.

To the family of Matthew, I would like to express my deepest sympathy on Matthews passing. I'm a co-worker and at one time my office was across from Matthews. He was such a nice person and for that you should be proud. I would always laugh at him & Nick (his sports buddy here at work) talking about football & how he loved the New Orleans Saints. We knew that if the Saints lost we would not be talking to Matthew that day. He will be truley missed here at G6 Hospitality.Bless you all....

NO TEARS PAST THE GATE

Someone new has entered
our eternal home above.
The heavenly gate has opened wide
to welcome the one you love.
We cannot help the tears that fall-
our hearts need time to grieve
when earthly life has ended
and a loved one has to leave.
Yet even in the saddest time,
we know our Savior lives,
and we can trust completely
in the promise that he gives.
That in a glad reunion with the Lord,
our loved ones wait
to welcome us in joy
with no more tears
beyond the gate!
Momma I will pray everyday that god give you the strenght to deal with this troubled time. Prays to you and your family.

I don't think I'll ever see a magnolia tree and not think of the two of us as children, climbing the trees in your front yard. Or when my son talks about Star Wars, I'll remember seeing that together and playing the soundtrack over and over and playing with all of your action figures and having matching Darth Vader watches. You were with me on the worst day, when I lost my dad. He loved you, too. So many have loved you. I think about your mom especially, but also how much Your paw paw, Mr. Prescott, loved you. I'm thankful to God that you were my neighbor and my very first best friend. I'm so thankful for your presence in this world and that we were a part of each other's stories.

All of you are in my thoughts and prayers Love Ginny Cagle
