I remember when Matthew first came into our church building in Pflugerville. He was going by Doyle at that time and wasn't sure he wanted to be there. I remember how much he brightened up when you brought his dog into the room. He's always been a spirited young man and I was so encouraged to see how he developed his love for animals into a career. I'll miss him, but trust he's in an eternal home now awaiting many reunions.
