Matt was a good friend of mine during our high school years at Smithson Valley. We lived in the same neighborhood together and he always always so welcoming to have me over to just hang out and jam out to some music. I think of Matt often and it always saddens my heart to hear of his passing. He will never be forgotten.

No one can know just what you have lost;
No one but you can understand the cost;
So when you feel your energy drain let god in to help ease you in your pain.

Let god help you cope with grief;
I hope with time you will, feel relief.
I can't replace the one who's gone. My hope this good friday is to remind you that god has a plan for everyone. With love the angels from up above.
