Barbara, Steve, Andy and Chris,
We are so sorry to hear about Matt’s passing. We absolutely love your boys. We have so many fond memories of Andy, Matt and Chris. One of my favorite memory is trick-or-treating with Matt, Andy and Chris! Nick, Kimberly and I had so much fun (Robert had to pass out candy) on Halloween 2005. We enjoyed hanging out with Matt, Andy and Chris! We enjoyed the year we lived next door. We will never forget Matt and his sweet smile. Robert, Nick, Kimberly and I were devastated to hear the news of Matt’s passing. We are honored to have known Matt

Dear Steve, Barbara, Andy & Chris:
We were so sorry to hear about Matt’s passing . What a sweet soul he had!
So much so that God must have wanted him to be with Him in heaven, where he is healthy, whole, and gloriously happy. Hang on to this hope we have of being reunited with our loved ones in eternity . It’s more than a hope- It’s truth. 1 Cor. 15.
Praying the God of all comfort will comfort & heal your hearts. Love y’all!
