Well now, can hardly believe it has been almost eight years. I truly miss you. Of course Jesus has carried us these many years. James has moved on July 10, 2017. Emily had a little baby move on in May 2018 just about a month after your Dad had a quadruple heart bypass. He kept saying he had a broken. Of course he did. Sean married Tish Feb.28,2020 and brought Lyric, Zarah and Lucas into our family.Sean had with Jackson 2015qith Tawnya. Josh bought a really neat rental to fix up and keep him busy and runs his computer company. Stephanie married Cody October 10, 2020 and they have a little girl Annalise 2019, born at home in the Tipi and are expecting another little girl in October 2021. Emily married Matt 2014 soon after she graduated The Ohio State University and did have Luke 2015, little Eve 2016 and after the loss 2018 they had little Hannah Lee 2019. Ryan misses you too. As do many of your friends. Ryan and Chloe got a married 2014 after she graduated high school and college. And, yes Jacob was born healthy. They did name him after you, Ryan and Chole but not Jack Ryan Mattix, Jacob William Mattix Ardrey. He is a terrific big brother of Paisley Elizabeth 2015 and then with Karletta Moyer, Ryan had Brantley Phillip James 2018. Emily B. got married to Levi 2018, Dad did the wedding at the Perry County ty Fairgrounds. They have a little fellow Lincoln and are expecting a little girl late September 2021. We have been so blessed with such a growing family. And we have also seen many move on to be with Jesus. Aunt LeeAnn, Cousin Paul Lee, Uncle Randy, Grandma Evelyn, Aunt Jeanie, Grandma Wiechert, many of my friends from all walks of life. Your oak trees are growing well and your Dog Radar is getting older with white facial hair now. The little Mt.Perry UMC is very nice and such good community of friends in Jesus Christ are found there. Just wanted to say I love you and we speak of you daily miss you always. Until we meet up son all my love. Your Momma

Jody and Matt, you all have had such an impact on my family's lives. You were the first family to really reach out to us when we moved to Glenford. Jack was the first real friend Dylan had here. We will never forget him! Wrestling will never be the same. And I can't imagine watching a Sheridan football game without JackJack coming around the end and running like the wind to make a tackle when no one else could possibly catch up with the ball carrier. We love you all!
