Out of sadness and grief comes infinite hope, joy, love, and awareness of just how precious life is. Just look at the thousand- or- so people commited to the success of "Miles for Matt" at SAHS, and rest assured that Matt's short life continues on in the hearts of all those who were fortunate enough to know him. Blessings to you all, and may the joy of this accomplishment help ease the unbearable pain of Matt's passing.

We are participating tonight at the Miles for Matt event in Matt's honor. I wish I had the opportunity to have known him. Jonathan Gallagher is our cousin, and we know how close he was to Matt and how much he misses him, so we wanted to show our support and love in his memory. The Wolff Family....
