I met Matthews father Tim today while at Arlington National Cemetery. I wish I could have known Matthew in life, but I am honored to have found him in peace. I believe He was a wonderful person and is now a wonderful soul whom I will always remember even tho we never met life.
There are no words to describe this loss... Our hearts and prayers are with you....
Matt was such a delight. So many memories, but the one that leaps out is how he jumped in to show his gourmet skills at the 50th anniversary party for his friend's grandparents. Things were not going smoothly and Matt saw the problem, rolled up his sleeves and made it all work.
So sorry that we will never hear his laugh again.
Let this remind all that life is short. Cherish your family and friends.
