you have my condolences for Matt Ackerman. We became friends when I worked at Hunter House. After I left HH we remained friends. It was difficult keeping in touch with him when he moved south. I only received one text message from him. Please have Nate contact me at 330 754-4252. Nina Votolato , God Bless you all.

To Matt in heaven, you helped my grandson a lot and though I never talked or met you I am so grateful for what you did for him. He deserves a better life and you at least made that happier for him. May all you family and friends heal from your loss.

My sincere condolences for your loss. In your sorrow, may there be peace...In your thoughts, may there be love...In your hearts, may there be healing. Psalm 147:3 promises: "He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds."
