So very sorry to hear this sad news. My husband passed 6 months ago and Matt came to his funeral. My husband Terry and Matt were good friends and kept in touch on
Facebook. I had also known Matt for a number of years. I offer my sincere sympathies to his family and close friends. RIP Matt. Prayers, Frances Howard.
