Dear Lisa & Jeff,
Truly it has been a fortune of mine to have taught Matthew back in 6th. & 7th. grade. His handsome face,great smile, always made me happy to get to LMS to teach him. My sincere condolences to you all. You'll be in my
constant thoughts& prayers. It's too much for your hearts to resolve alone.
Sincere sympathy..Kathy Danahy

Sorry to hear about Matthew.. My condolences to the family.
Life is but a Stopping Place
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

My Heart is with you always Mr. & Mrs. Depasquale, Michelle, Caitlyn, Giana, Grandpa Collareno and family. My prayers from my family to yours and the wings of the angels hold and comfort you.
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well.

Matt always made me laugh so hard with his sarcastic attitude and personality. I remember when we were little we would wrestle all of the time and he would have to recruit Ryan because he needed another boy to take on the challenge to defeat me. I always felt that I earned Matt's respect because of my toughness and that I was "one of the guys" and he was one of the cousins I would hang out with the most. Even though he was a "tough guy", he definitely had his tender moments...some that you could only see one on one. Although he enlisted in the navy and we didn't talk much, things always resumed how they were when he came home. He was the same goofy Matt. I can't believe he is gone and it isn't fair that it happened, but I do know that he was and is loved so much by so many people and that he will be greatly missed. Love you, Matt. Rest in peace.
