You don´t know me but I came across your son´s obituary and it touched my heart.
While I´m so very sorry for your loss I´m so thankful that your son served in our military and I commend him for his service.
I´m so sorry his life ended tragically and so young.
Please know I will say a prayer for you that are left to mourn his loss. I´m sure you know that he is with our Heavenly Father now and all that plagues Matthew is gone.
God bless you all.
