I remember the day that Mr and Mrs Rasmussen brought a beautiful smiling 6 year old into my classroom at Washington School in Waupun for the first time. What an eager learner he was who never stopped smiling! So glad to read that he was a church attender as an adult. He must be having a blast in heaven!!

Matt - may you Rest In Peace! I’m so happy that God gave me an opportunity to work by your side during my High School days. Your sense of humor made me look forward to school on a daily basis. Until we meet again, love & sympathy to the family.

Special memories flood in as I think of all the years Matt has been with us at New Life Community Church. Always so grateful for the many men through the years that stepped up to sit with Matt at church and take him to the cookie area. Also remember one time he came up to the Operation Christmas Child table in the lobby and handed me $7 to help cover the cost of shipping for one of the gift shoeboxes filled with fun stuff for a child in another country. Also knew he understood the pastors message when he loudly made a sound of excitement. So happy for his loving Jesus and enjoying life in heaven with him now. I told him one Sunday at church that I wanted to hear all his stories. One day I will hear those stories when we all get to heaven to join him and Jesus and all believers. What a day that will be. Praying for the family, peace, comfort and great times of sharing memories of Matt .
