Donna and David . So sorry about your son Matt, My only memory of him is studying at your home for LPN school and him being a baby. You have always been good kind people.

Matt was a great friend. I will miss him so much. I have such great memories of camping, dancing, talking, and lots and lots of laughing with Matt.

On one such camping trip, we were talking about latin dancing. Matt told me tha he did not know how to dance, so by the campfire, Matt and I start merengue dancing. It only took him a few minutes to get it. It was so funny to watch two guys dance like that! The girls got a kick out of it!! He was our Matty, and we all love and miss him so dearly.
