Dearest Kelly, James and Mr. David Angove,
It is with so much sadness that I have discovered that my friend Matt has passed.
I know how difficult the last few years have been for him with his physical injuries and most recently his struggle with Lyme disease.
He tried so hard, did everything possible to battle and overcome the awful symptoms of Lyme and his constant physical pain.
And yet, he was always kind and welcoming towards me, always asked with concern about when I had at times my own difficulties.
And when his and Jame´s Mom was diagnosed with cancer, he and James both dropped everything to be there for both their mom and their Dad.
Although Matt was not one to openly gush as a romantic, as he was always very meditative and centered, he most definitely was fully in love with Kelly. He became so relaxed when Kelly was with him and I could see that he adored her.
And Floyd. He and Kelly both loved Floyd so very much and Floyd was an amazing, sweet, and happy dog.
I will greatly miss my friend Matt.
I feel that he is finally at peace and free of the pain of which he endured for far too many years.
I hope that this brings some comfort to his beloved Kelly, his brother James, his dad and all of his family and friends.
