I just wanted to say that I am sorry for your loss dude. I just found out or I would have came to the funeral. I too have lost a child and it is a very trying time to say the least. I know that there are no words for what you are going through but I just want you to know that I'm still your friend. I hope that this year we can get together more often. Well later dude my thoughts are with you.

Just became aware of your loss. Our deepest sympathies. I too lost my son 16 years ago this March. It seems like yesterday....the memories I have of the time God gave to us keeps me strong even in my weakest moments. And believing in my son's committment to everything he cared about and did in his 16 years keeps me focused on continuing to move forward. If ever there is a time to lean on your faith, it is now. take care of yourselves and my prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Loss of a loved one is never easy, especially this time of year. Seek comfort in the many happy memories you have of Matt in his short precious life.
Shannon, Matt, Chelsey and Kasey will always hold a special spot in Brittany's heart. Chelsey and Brittany were like sisters when they were growing up, and many cherished memories were made with the whole family.
Friendships and memories will pull you thru these tough times. God Bless and take care of each other.
