Dear Emily, Adalyn, Rayleigh & All of the Clancy family and friends,
Words cannot express what you are all going through. We are very shocked and saddened at this news of Matt.
He was a great friend to my son and was a great friend to Gary and I. He is sorely missed and we wish you comfort in knowing he is an Angel in Heaven.
He will watch over all of you. That is the way he was as a fireman, paramedic and friend.
Sending you all prayers and blessings.
Gary & Tracy Welsh
