Happy Thanksgiving Lynchy.
November 22, 2005
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay
-Your boys miss you brother

Lynchy whats up buddy. This weekend I opened up the new window that me and big Al had to replace from the time you broke it this summer. We did a horrible job fixing it, thing barely even opens. I figured you would get a kick out of it. Big Al is not much of a carpenter i guess. God made him so good looking though so i guess it evens itself out. It just made me think of you buddy. I hope everythings cool. We all miss you.

hows heaven treatin ya? i bet your havin tons of fun with the rest of Scituate's crew. I cant believe your gone...this feels like a dream that everyone is waiting to wake up from. All i know is you will never be forgotten by anyone. you'r smile seemed to always brighten the room as you entered. You knew how to make people laugh at their weakest moments. Your family and close friends need you now more than ever so make sure you keep and eye on them and send them signs to know you are ok. Rest easy buddy, and i will see you when it is my turn. Untill then, keep smiling and have fun with our scituate friends up there. Love you.

Lynchy,
I don't even know where to start. This is like a bad nightmare, it can't be you, this can't be real. I find myself crying myself to sleep everynight remembering all of the good times that you and I had together this summer...the fourth of july, the red sox game, going to the mug, the tent sleepover, sleeping in cars together...oh god theres so many. I would give anything just to see your face one more time and to hear your voice... To see your smile and to kiss you one more time. This is so hard for me Lynchy, but I want you to know that I am so glad that we had a chance to be together this summer and I wouldn't have changed it for the world. You will always and forever hold a special place in my heart, I love you so much and I miss you more everyday. Sleep easy my angel, and keep an eye on all of us. I'll see you when I get up there, I love you Lynch...forever.

Lynchy ... i still can't believe that this happened to you. God must have bigger plans for you if He took you away from us this soon . You were always the person to turn to for a quick laugh and you were always the life of the party. May you rest easy buddy. My prayers are with you and your family. And make sure to keep and eye on us.

*Lynchy,
You were truely an amazing person. I may not have none you all too well, but just from being around you I could tell how much of a loving, loyal and strong person you were. I saw the way you made everybody look and even feel, you were the one who brought that much needed to smile to all you encountered. You lived life to the fullest and the best you could, thats something few actually do. I give my greatest sympathy and love to all who were close to you, you were so great and now you are watching over everyone..keep them together..and keep livin it. love always.

Lynchy, I would do anything to hear you laugh one last time, to hear that voice, to see your smile. I never got to tell you that I admire you so much. You weren’t dealt the luckiest hand in life; you went through things I don’t think I would have been strong enough to handle. Yet you were always smiling, always laughing it up. I can’t remember a time you ever thought about yourself before your friends…no-- your brothers, who love you like family and miss you so much. They’re having a hard time dealing with this. I know you wouldn’t want them, or any of your friends, to be miserable, I know you would do anything to see us all smile. but right now it’s hard because we keep thinking we’ll see you again, that we’ll hear your voice and see you do the “hickey shuffle” and be the life of the party. It’s okay though, because you’re up there, knowing that we’re all gonna meet again soon. Keep smiling for us. Rest in peace.

Whats up Lynchy? I dont know what to say man, it all doesn't seem real. There is no escaping it though. I wish we could go back to the days of Wampatuck when we were so young and innocent and didn't have a worry in the world. You were taken from us much to young, but the impression that you left on people will last a lifetime. We have been close friends for over 10 years, and I feel like I'm losing a brother. I will never forget the experiences that we had together and I am greatful for everyone. I'd give anything to watch one more Sox game with you Matt. I know someday we will meet again, but until then, keep an eye on us, help us get through these tough times. I love you and I miss you buddy.
Your friend,
Brian

Matt, Your other little brother Joshua Abrams,6, is really sad that you went to see God so soon. Joshua and I met you when you were a little kid. You and your brother Brian stayed with us on weekends at your Dad's when you guys were little. It seems unreal that this would have to happen to you. So young and so much life left to live. We are so sad and sorry to hear of this tragedy. Your Dad, who is far away right now, would want me to tell you that he loves you, and will miss you very much. We pray that God will watch over you and keep you. Our hearts go out to all those family and friends that lost you in their lives. May God Bless all of you. Amy Elliott, Stuart Elliott, Joshua Abrams, Benjamin Abrams and Carol Kokoska.

Lynchy -
I know we haven't seen each other in awhile, ya know i still thought of you. You were a close friend to me and Matty when we first moved to Scituate from NH, and we'll never forget you. When i heard the news, it was so heavy on my heart, and to hear my brother cry on the phone from Chicago made it even worse. Well Matty's flying home, and we're real torn up about all this, We love you and you'll be in our hearts and thoughts always - much love...Megan & Sully

To many good memories to list off but i love you and hey you take care of stuff up there for us, ill see ya when its my time.
