Matthew Glen Stenzel

Dear Betty and Dick and family,
We are so sorry to hear about Matt. Jon and Matt were inseparable as kids. I loved the closeness of our families and I think of you all each time I walk by your old house. Sending love to you all.

I have so many great memories of Matt as we grew up. Hanging out in the club house, playing in the pool, jumping off of the deck, riding bikes all over the fields, watching gymnastics meets, and many more. We are all formed somewhat by our experiences and the people we spend time with. I am very sorry for the loss of Matt. I will not forget the good times that we had and the friends that we were. I hope you will all find some comfort and understanding sometime soon.

Even though I haven´t seen Matt since early high school and haven´t talked with him for many years, I still think about him. I talk to my boys about my best friend Matt growing up, my gymnastics buddy. I have many memories of sleep overs, rock hunting with Dick, skiing, and trying to stay out of trouble!
I am so grateful for all these memories I have with Matt and your family!!!!
Thoughts and prayers from a long lost friend.

Ben
