My uncle Matty was always my favorite. Every time I saw him, his hat would go to the side and I could expect to hear "Hey gurrrrrl". He was the funniest person you´d ever meet. The jokes would have you laughing until you cried, or peed yourself. The love he had for my aunt Patsy and the girls was so pure and true, it was all over his face. I will love you and miss you forever and always. I will cherish our memories for a lifetime.
