Goldberg Family,
I will not pretend to know how you feel. I know I feel such tremendous loss, that to understand the intensity of your sorrow, is truly incomprehensible.
The pain that you experience at this time is a commemoration of your love. What now brings such sorrow - is what once brought much joy.
What I do have and offer you sincerely, is to remember Matan with you, for the great and wonderful person that we all knew him for.
God Bless

My Sweet Matan,
Today I went to see you. After leaving my body just felt so empty. There was this feeling that you just can't describe. Everything around me just felt wierd. I asked you why you had to leave us? Matan I miss you so much and I will love you always....
Love Always, Your sister

My Dearest Matan, I miss you so much. I still just can't believe it. It feels like im watching a movie or something. Some days I have to think really hard, maybe im dreaming? I then think of you when I saw you in the hospital and thats when I am reminded. I look at your pictures and you are so beautiful. I recall all the great times we had and I even miss having you pick on me or get mad at me. I also think about all the good times we had togeather. I really wish we could have gotten closer there was so much I wanted to do with you and share with you. I am just in so much shock. Matan if you can here me just let me know that everything is alright. I hope you are resting well and working hard watching us all and looking down on us from hashem's garden where you are. I miss you so much you just don't understand. What am I going to do without you. Why did you have to leave me? I am so scared of being alone, I always thought I would have you and now I dont. Tell me what I am going to do without you? I am so scared Matan.
I love you so very much with all my heart.
Lots of hugs and kisses,
Your Little Sister

I loved your son/brother dearly and will always remember him as my dear friend. Matan was a kind soul and has left a lasting impression on me forever. I attended Stratford High with him where we studied hard together and where he was also my fabulous dance partner in social class. We had continued to run into eachother often after high school which truly was a blessing. Matan is the kind of spirit you wish could remain on this earth forever to spread his light. I will always remember him. Warmest regards,
His friend forever,

I was deeply sadden by the news of Matan's passing. He was always a bright light in my class at Stratford High School. I have such fond memories of Matan. My last memory of him was when he came to visit me at school, he was so excited about his adventures in the army in Israel. I was always so worried for him. I would tell him to be careful and he would just say "Don't worry!" He had a short life, but a life full of adventure, travel, great friends and a loving family. Matan may be gone, however, his spirit will live on forever. My deepest sympathies go out to the Goldberg family.

To the Goldberg family,
The news of Matan's passing has left me numb and confused. How could such a young, rightous, idealistic gentleman be taken from this earth so soon?
Matan and I were comrades in the army from the very first day of recruitment, until the end. He was always a trustworthy, honourable and committed friend.
I wish you all the strength to continue on, after the grief of this terrible loss.
Matan may be gone, but his memory will live on forever. I shall miss him dearly.

Dear maya, hillel, and inballi !
we still don't believe that matan is not with us and how is it ever possible to believe?
how can we talk about matan as a magic youth and a magic young fellow that just started to discover real life.
matan was an absorbing heart of in tegrity and there was such a beauty inside that always knew to help and care for all people around.
dear matan will be remembered forever with his special dimples, with his beautuful lightblue eyes and with his sweet smile.
we are so sorry for not being able to be together with him more and to get to know him better.
matan liked the time that he was here in the army .
we loved to be with him, listening to his stories.
the grief is so deep that we don't have the right words to pronounce what is in our hearts.
yn all this sorrow we, being close to you, will send you strenght and love... keep going on, be strong.
and matan will always stay with us forever!
with lots of love
