Dear Liz, I am terribly sorry for your loss of Matt. Words cannot express our grief. Remembering all the years of growing up in Nab with all our kids is a memory we cannot forget and seeing and talking with him at Chris' memorial shows what a caring and wonderful person he was. We will always keep him in our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong for your family.
God Bless you.

I have great memories of growing up with Matt. We were next door neighbors and we would hang out together; swimming, laughing and having fun. He was a great friend. He will be missed by all who knew him.
May he rest in peace.
