I would like to pass along my sincere condolences to your son and your family. I am sure he made you proud, and I know he was an inspiration for others. As parents of a special needs child, I hope you understand you were a hero to your boy, and those in your community probably view you in this vain as well (though they may not tell you). I am sure the memory of your son will continue to provide years of enjoyment to your family and all that new him.
Sincerely,

I only knew him for the past year, but in that short time, he touched my life and I still have to smile when I think of him. I cant thank you enough for allowing me the gift of knowing him. Matthew will live on forever in hearts.
