To the Family of John Mattingly,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of John. He was such a nice person. Losing a child is never easy, but with God's presence, He will grant you peace. May God calm you in this difficult time.

John was one of the first people I met when I moved to Lexington, we quickly became friends. He was a wonderful person and friend, always willing to walk with me to class, eat with me in the commons (he loved to eat), our dorms were right next door so he was always right there if I needed anything. This world has lost a wonderful person, he would have made a wonderful teacher,(he had to tutor me on occasion). I do not know his family but he spoke of his family and friends often and he loved his town, was proud of where he came from, so my thoughts are with everyone who will suffer from this terrible loss, my heart goes out to his parents, and anyone who knew John because he could touch your heart so deeply in such a short amount of time. He will always remain in my heart, as will his family.
