Matt, it is December 19th, 2013, 2:41am and I just had Christmas at Donna's with her family. They made me feel such a big part of their event as they always do. We talked of you and I shared pictures of you and yes, I cried. I cry for you almost everyday, I just can't help it, I guess I always will. I miss you so much. You taught me how to love like this, but you never taught me how to stop. I just can't accept your death. I cling to every memory, every picture, every card, every scrap of paper you wrote on. Anything that might help me to feel your presence. I think I'm going crazy. I didn't realize how much grief can emotionally change a person's life and the will to live it without their child. Goodnight my son, I love you. Mom

I remember Matt as a precious little boy that often came to my house to play with Brandon. Their birthdays were one day apart! He was always such a cute kid, full of mischief and a smile that would melt your heart! I know that he is missed so much much by his family but just know that even though you can't see him he will always be with you!

Happy 35th Birthday Matt. You always said you couldn't see yourself as an old man and you were right as you were about so many things. You always had this extra sight into things that most of us don't posess. What is Heaven like? Are the streets really paved with Gold? Do the voices of the Angels have a mystical sound that mortal ears cannot fathom? Are the colors more vibriant and beautiful than the mind's eye can create? What does God's embrace feel like? Are you with all your family and friends? ...Just wondering! I love you my son, my Matt. Mama   11-20-13

My Son, Today marks 3 years since you left me and it IS NOT getting any easier on me, Zack, or your Dad. I miss u so much...even the times when u were a little shit. You could always make me laugh and talk me into anything! You just had this way about u that always melted my heart with just a little smirk or the words "BUT I WUV U MOMMY" when I was about to spank u. I Love Matt...MOM

Matt I know you are smiling and you are lighting up every place you enter with your beautiful eyes and contagious smile. You are missed and loved by so many, especially your mom, you were her world! We don't understand why God took you so soon, but we will always be so thankful He created you and let you be a part of our lives! There will be a great time of rejoicing 1 fine day my friend!

I love and miss u so much...Mom

Today is the 34th anniversary of Matt's birth. From the moment I looked into those beautiful eyes, I was hooked. So much in love with this precious gift from God. And from then on our hearts became one. I love you...Happy Birthday, my child! And between you and me it doesn't get better!

Matt is the most beautiful and unselfish soul I have ever known. I miss him so much, the pain is almost too much to bear. With God's help I continue to live on only because I know I will be with him again. He is MY heart & soul. He was so loving and caring...I can only hope to be as much. The world lost a funny, kind, & spirit-filled man when it lost Matt. Heaven gained an awesome angel!

I only knew Matt for a short time. He has a smile that would brighten a room. My memories are not as good because I know your pain. He was taken way too soon. May he dance with the Angels. Maybe he hooked up with my Chris and are living a glorious life watching over us here. Happy angelversary.

Matt~ I miss you so very much each & every single day that passes. Matt was the love of my life, my very best friend, he was my everything. What we shared was something I think is very rare~ we shared a bond so tight that no words could ever begin to explain. Matt taught me the meaning of TRUE LOVE. We had so much fun together~ even if we had not a dollar to our name we was so happy and content just being together. I miss that so much. Matt was a very special person~ with a beautiful heart. I thank God for the 4 years that he put Matt in my life ~ because as bad as it hurts that he is gone~ I think that I am very blessed to have been given the chance to experience what we shared. I honestly do believe that some people will go a whole life time and never get to experience that kind of LOVE... I love and miss you so very much baby and you will always have a special place in my heart. GONE BUT NEVER TO BE 4.GOTTEN R.I.P MATT DEBRA, this is awesome that you did this for Matt~ I love u so very much and I know the bond that you and Matt shared .. I hope to have that same bond with my child.. He knew how much you loved him ~ never 4.get that
