All prayers to family. When I worked at Walmart we would talk and I enjoyed him. I will always keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

I will always miss seeing Matthews smiling face as a a greeter at Walmart. No one will ever take his place, He is now in the arms of Jesus and the angels, with no more suffering. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. Please find comfort in the fact that he is no longer suffering and is enjoying all the beauties of Heaven.

Matthew was always pleasant and very nice as a Walmart greeter. I will miss saying hello to him and seeing him there. May God give your family peace and comfort. We wonder why but, God never makes a mistake. Rest in peace Matthew in the love and comfort of our God.
