Joyce and Dave--I was stunned and saddened by the news of the loss of your dear son, Matt. He was always a joyous boy, then young man, and attacked all he did with zeal. It's so unfair that he was taken from the world at such a tender age. I send my deepest sympathy to you both for the loss you must feel at his passing.

Dear Joyce, Dave, Laurie and Marisa,
Words can not express my profound sorrow for your loss. My deepest condolences and love to all of you. I'm at a loss for words to convey how I feel but there are a lot of us that want to just give you a warm hug with lots of love. I'll always be there for you in whatever way I can be.
Love you guys...Bev Lachman

A friend sent me Matt's obit today and I was stunned. My deepest condolences go to his mother and father, Joyce and Dave Abrams, whom I have known for 23 years in La Jolla.
But here I also learned about Matt's rich life since high school when I last knew him. He was an athlete; a graduate of UCSB; he found sports-related media work which he surely must have enjoyed; he was blessed to have found a spouse and to have a beloved dog. So I am truly happy for him, for what he became, for what he did, even though his passing is terrible and too soon. RIP.

Dear Joyce, Dave and family-- Read about Matthew in today's paper. Although we didn't know Matt, we can feel your loss. Larry and I send our condolences and prayers to you all.

Fondly,
Linda & Larry Oknin

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" (Isaiah 61:1, 2) sustain your family during this challenging time. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
