Matthew I only got to know you for a very short time. You were a man who was humble and a heart for people on our visit I could see a kind caring man always helping when you could. I was so sad when I heared that God had taken you home during my morning reading it was spoken loud and clear that God sees our hearts and I believe you are with our Lord in a land of pure happiness Love you and your brother love Dorothy
