Dear Michelle and Larry, I heard of your son, Matthew's death from my very close and dear friend, Beth. She has been my pillar of strength through the loss of our own children. I feel your pain, I feel your loss. Words can't express what you are experiencing with your son's loss. I am sorry, Michelle, that I cannot be there for you during this time of grief. But, believe me, my thoughts are with you. Love, Judy Nelson
