To Margo, Melanie, Megan, Marrisa and family. I'm so sorry to hear about Matthew. He was always such a nice kid growing up in the neighborhood. He always stopped to talk to me or say Hi. So polite and kind. He was loved by so many and will be missed. May your memories help you get through this very sad time!
