Dearest Matt,
Thinking about you ,too..We all miss you so much..We just live with a veil of sadness, and a backdrop of sorrow behind all else, and even the smiles, that are seemingly in the foreground, shadow whats in our hearts..Love you always & miss you always , Matt..This is just too sad..Breaks my heart..I walk Meko every day; he's never quite been the same- just a sad little Pug-dog face..Love you always, Matt..Send feathers..Love always, from Aunt Karen
PS: you were the cutest little baby, little boy, little kid, vibrant goofy teenager, and I was proud of the young man you were becoming, & all you were
trying to do , & working on..You were a terrific drummer, poet, skiier, & writer too..You were always funny..Miss you so much, Matt..We will always miss you on this side of heaven.Know how much you were and are loved...L, K.

Dearest Matthew,
I miss you everyday. And every day i can see our wedding and then that horrific devestating night. It just wasnt fair.
I want you to know that I am happy and I will always love you, you were my first true love, my best friend & my husband. 6 great years we had together. I know you would want to see me happy and I am but sometimes I feel like I just shouldnt feel happy.
Mom, nan, dirty, david paul and justin all miss you obviously but i wish i could bring you back(everybody does). I wish it was me instead of you. I would give my life to bring you back.
Baby I love you and miss you everday that goes by.
Love Your Wife,
Mrs.Cassie Gillotti

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

2 Corinthians:4,5: We know that so long as we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. We are confident that we would rather leave our home in the body, and to go and live with the Lord..Knowing the he who raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise us up also by Jesus..While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal..

Dear family, It was with sincere sorrow that I learned of Matthew's passing.I remember Matt as a wonderful,"full of life" boy in my first grade classroom. He always came to school with a big smile on his face and left at 3:00 with the same smile!!He brought a warm and sincere energy to my room that year.I remember the excitement he demostrated when he learned to read. He held the book in his hand, read a phrase or two, then looked up at me with his precious eyes and beautiful smile and said "I did it!" Yes, everyday was a new and exciting discovery for Matt. I also remember that even after he moved on through the grades, he would many times ride his bike to the Consolidated parking lot and stop by my classroom. He always had a way of adding sunshine to the day.
May it comfort you to know that many people share your sorrow and pray for your healing.
Most sincerely,
Jane McGuigan

Dearest Matt, & Whomever May be reading;
Somwhere in the Book of Hebrews, it says something about crossing over, joining the angels, & getting a new body- only I cannot find the verse right now...All I can say, is we miss you so, so much on Earth, & love you very much..I hope the angels are telling you this. Life is sorrowful without you.. Love Always,

Dearest Matt, 7/17/09
You are sadly missed, & no words can ever express the sorrow I feel. I would give my right arm for you to be on the planet with us. I do know that you are in another dimension, and that angels are with you. I know Pa would be right there with you. It is sheer hardship and sorrow for all of us here
below with broken hearts, and numb sadness, going through the motions of life in our shock. You were always sheer energy, silliness, and the essence of buoyancy- and I know you still are, even though you are out of your body & in the spirit with the angels. You smiled, bounced, and made other people laugh from the time you were a baby , through all of your life. I can see you skiing & racing down Mohawk Mtn, & outdoing everyone all around you. I can hear your little remarks & witty comments in my mind.
We will always feel this sorrow,& life will never be the same. I know that God's heaven & the angelic choirs have
a silly voice telling them he is a duck, & saying funny things.I can hear your comments & jokes abot biological & medical terms you were studying.You made others laugh. You are sadly missed .We just want you here, & love & miss you so much. God is with you & enjoys the blessing of your wit.With love & heartfelt sorrow, Aunt Karen

I only got to meet Matt a few times, but that was all that was needed to see the love he & cassie shared.
It was hard to not be almost jealous of how in love they were.
I wish I had the chance to get to know him better, but I feel as though I did from hearing what everyone has to say about him and his life.
I hope that Cassie & Matt's family and friends will find the peace they are looking for someday soon.
<3 Matt your missed & loved

Matty,
If one word could describe you it would have to be nut-job (maybe thats two but lets pretend). I dont think a day ever went by when you wouldnt tell one of your hilarious stories or make one of those ridiculous faces. You knew how to make people laugh, and im glad i got the chance to laugh with you and make you laugh a few times here and there. You were so fun to be around, and im sure anyone who had the chance to see at least for a minute knew that!
I remember talking to cassie about this the other day, but it was one of my favorite things to do with the two of you together. The days when Cassie first got her nice Jetta (you know the Jetta you crashed ;) ) we would drive around New Fairfield and blast the music singing in horrible voices cause only cassie had the nice one! I would hang out of the sunroof jamming to Fall Out Boy hoping something wouldnt hit me while i was there. Then we would wind up at Villa Pasta eating there enormous bowls of fettucinne alfredo most of which me and you could eat lol.
But i miss you Matt, and in my heart i know your ok. You changed so many lives, and have done amazing things for people who may not even understand or realize it yet. I am one of them, and you and I both know why. I miss you Matt, and im glad I got the chance to know you for as long as I did! You have a nice spaceous spot in my heart.
With all of my love,
Marc Rutte

I had the pleasure of getting to know Matt as a fellow classmate in my Biology Class at NVCC. In the words of Thomas Campbell, "To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die". My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Matt--
You are loved and missed dearly. God needed a special angel to take you from everyone that loved you. Hopefully you are at peace. Cassondra misses you with all her heart---but you already know that dont you? May you shine down with every ray of sunlight, be felt with every rain drop and heard with every gust of wind. Love you Matt.
Sorry Mom I Had To Put This Up... Its Just Too Funny.

The Following Poems I Foud While Looking Through Our Stuff.
Anyway They Were Written For & Dedicated To My Matthew;
Truely;
I feel like I have waited a lifetime
For you to finally be mine.
You mean the world to me
And I'm so happy you see,
The way it was meant to be.
I hope we will never be apart
Because that will truly break my heart.
I am more than happy with you
And I know you are too.
I love you more and more everyday,
Words can't express what I'm trying to say.
Mainly what I'm trying to get out is,
Without you my world is grey.
(Second) One Was Written
April 1, 2004
& is Also Untitled
I would do anything I could for you and give you all I can.
You will forever hold my heart in your hand.
All I ask is to love me forever.
Hurting you is something I could do never.
You are my Gift From God,
And with you all my days are broad.
Baby you complete my life entirely.
The need to see you each day is difinitely direly.
Your workds to me are like precious benefactions.
You arouse me with your physical attraction.
You will forever remain a major part of my life,
And I can only hope that one day you will make me your wife.
I love you Matt.
Also I used definitions for some of the words which is kind of funny because I didn't know if he would understand them lol.
The 3 Words Were:
Broad: Fully, Completely
Direly: Urgent, Desperate
Benefactions: Gift or Deed
So it was sweet but kind of funny when I gave him the poem. And it was great because he loved them, that made me happy.
And he did make me his wife thankfully. I just wish we had more time together. And Matt still will always have my heart.
I love you, forever & ever babe.
Your Wife.

To My Beautiful Husband Matthew,
Not a day goes by that I miss you unbelievably more and more,
I cant stand it. I cry every night missing you so much. I actually was so upset the other night crying my eyes out I broke our air conditioner with a flash light... I just want to hold you, hug you, touch your face, and kiss you. We've had some great memories together that I will never forget. Like when you accidently mased yourself, you poor thing lol. The times you tazed yourself when you got me my tazer =) all your tactital gear cause you were always so obsessive about everyones safety, crashing my car going 5miles an hour into an SUV at that stop sign. The dance we use to do for mom and nan, they miss that. When we got our devil puggle boy, he was our baby but use to growl at you so much, now he does it to me. When you passed you could tell how depressed he was, all you had to do is look in his big half pug eyes. The sweet things you use to do for me, breakfest in bed & bringing me dinner up to our room because I was still shy about eating with the family. All the sweet notes you use to write me (they are all saved by the way). How you were so obsessed about the families safety, you were too cute.
Baby I'm sorry I couldn't save you,it kills me that there is/was nothing I could do to bring you back. Everyday I feel like if only I had stayed awake or woken up earlier maybe I could have saved you and you would still be here. I will always blame myself even though everyone tells me its not my fault, its out of my hands and all that crap. Everything I do, see, hear is a non stop reminder of you and it kills me inside. I just miss you so much my heart cant take it.I drive in the car and see your not sitting in the passenger seat and I hear certian music that just makes me cry while I'm driving. You were too young to leave all of us. I believe when its your time to go then its your time but not with you, I don't believe it was your time, you were/are too precious to leave all of us. The only kind of comfort I can get is that you can finally meet my parents and see your friends who have passed. But everything else is just a fade to me. My only reason to stay here is to try take care of mom, nan, dirty girl, jud and david paul. But I do not want to be here without you. We had plans, big plans. To renew our vows in a year or less and have a big wedding and big honeymoon. To go to school and make something of yourself, and work so I didnt half to. It kills me knowning that it will never happen. Mom misses you so much and so do I and of course the rest of the family but somehow I can keep it together a little better than mom. You were her baby and she loved you so much.It kills her and breaks her heart that you're not around, just like me. Not to long ago she actually asked me if you knew how much she loved you and of course I told her that you did. We ALL did and we all just miss you so much it is unbearable to be here without you. You were/are by far the sweetest person I had ever met, you put everyone before yourself. You wanted to save people, and you saved me. Now your saving other people, which is exactly what you wanted.
You were my best friend, my 1st true love, and my whole world. I will ALWAYS love you and miss you. You will forever have my heart, I love you babe.
Forever & Ever Babe right?
Love and Miss you Always and for the rest of my life My Matthew.
Love Your Wife,

Every Day that goes by I miss Matthew more & more. I wish nothing more than to hold him in my arms & tell him everything will be okay. It saddens me that I cant do anything!! I have been spending time with you guys and I see the sadness of his loss in all your eyes. Just remember Matthew would not want you to dwell on his loss but to celebrate his life and memories!! You all have such a strong bond that seems to have come apart now is the time to build that bond back together and be there for each other. Justin keep your head up never look down always look forward for everyday is a treasure and you should enjoy it. Dirt the love you have for your family is amazing you are the ROCK stay strong. David you have a big heart keep giving your love when needed. Nan you are the sweetie pie and hold your family when they fall, keep your shoulder out for them all to cry when they need it. Cassie what do I say to a girl who has kept her life going with so much tragedy.... All I can say is life is good even through the bad and someday you will find serenity. I love everyone of you and I love spending time with you ALL!!! Im always here, no matter what. Matthew is watching over all of us and protecting us. Matthew I love you forever and will always miss your precious face.

Dirt,Cassie,Nan,David Paul, & Judder
A piece of me went with Matthew I dont know that I have EVER felt this type of pain in my life. He was my sidekick, my little brother and now my ANGEL up above. Matthew was the reason for HOPE in my life and I feel I have lost all hope. This is so painful for all of you I wish I could take your pain away, I love you ALL!!! I am always here when you need me. I keep thinking each day will come easier but it only gets harder. I will never forget all the time I spent with Matthew (Baseball games, car rides, camping on the living room floor, spy in the woods, paintball, dirt bikes etc...) Our time together I will forever cherish!!! I miss our talks, but I know he took them to heart. I miss his hugs!! But most of all I just miss his eyes & smile. This hurts but we will all get through this together.
All MY LOVE

Dear Paula, I apologize for getting in touch with you this way but I didn't know how else to do so... I hope to correspond with you as I identified strongly about how something frightened you when you first saw your son... I shared some of my story when I wrote here in memory of your beautiful son. I still pray for you and your family... I may be a stranger but I am not a stranger in losing a child, perhaps we could speak, e-mail is fine... Thank you and God Bless.. Sonja Grube

To Gillotti/Fisher Family
I feel truly blessed to spend so many years with your family. I have to say that you are a very loving family and you always made me feel like a part of it. I have to say what has always amazed me was the love Paula has had for her boys and their faith in God. You know how they say God works through people well, your family gave me lessons in faith and love. I remember David Paul once told me it’s always darkest before the dawn. I still remember that phrase and I will take it with me forever. Thank You more than you will ever know. Matt was a good boy with a big heart and I can still remember him as a little boy chasing after David Paul in the ridge on his little bike doing “cool” moves that he wanted his big brother to see. On more than a few occasions Paula you have given me advice so I hope I can give something in return. You are a sweet person and a good mom!! I know that Matt moon man will live on in your hearts forever. I do believe that even though you never forget of course, from my personal experience it does get easier. You will always think of him and that is good because he lives on in your memory. Pain comes in waves, try to take it easy in between giving yourself a chance to rest. I have seen this family in dark times and in happy times and what I see is a lot of love. Nancy, Karen, Paula, David Paul, Justin-I love you all & I know that no words can take away your hurt, but as a family I know you have what it takes to make it through. I love you all!

I just finished reading eveything that was shared here and I was touched by all of the prayers,love and beautiful memories with Matthew.I especially loved Nicole Perrys story. It was an blessing and a piviledge to be Matthews mother. When he was born with eyes wide open and I looked into his eyes I was briefly frightened by something I saw there. I felt he knew something I didn't know. I still am not sure what that was but I will never foget that. He was a kind boy who accepted people for what they were.I was truely blessed to be Mathhews mother. He gave more to me than he ever. took.My heart has a giant hole now that oceans couldn't begin to fill and even now it aches moe than I have ever felt before. I know Matthew is with Jesus and his father in heaven and will never suffer again and I prayerfully hope to be with him someday soon. However the selfish nature in me would pefer he was here with me. I am grateful I stayed close to he and Cassie and if I have anything to say that I have learned from this it would be that life is fragile, Love like there is no tomorrow, forgive everything! don't hurt the people close to you because they may not be there tomorrow, don't sweat the small stuff it is all small stuff, and people make mistakes all people so help them keep their dignity. But most of all give your children all you can and all you have that is love, the world will be cruel to them. They are a temporary gift no one should loose. I love you Matt. My family and I are helped tremendously by your memories so please keep Matt alive by remembering Matt in the stories you share with each other.The doors to my heart are open to all of you I will be reading and hopefully seeing all of you in the near future.
