I'm so sorry I am just now hearing about this My first memory of Matt was learning to change my first diaper!! The Gilman's were my sanctuary family and the safe place I would run to when I was scared growing up. My heart hurts for you and I miss and love you all . The only pic I could find is with the 3 amigos bit we felt like family.
