I was Matt's 4th grade teacher and truly loved him!!! I saw him around town often and was thrilled that he shared beautiful pictures of his family with me . He also did a wonderfully professional job repairing the foundation at my home last year. I will never forget him and pray for him and his family. Sadly I can't make the service but I wanted everyone to know that he was special.With love,Mrs. Michele Hazlett
