Our life go on without you, but nothing is the same
We have to hide our heartache when someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts that love you, silent are the tears that fall
Living life without you, is the hardest part of all...
Mathew you are missed so much, today tomorrow forever xx

“Seashells remind us that every passing life leaves something beautiful behind.” Unknown

Matt, I just heard two days ago. You were such a blessing when you came and helped us at Odyssey. A heart full of light! May you reside in the arms of angels and may your loved ones find peace in your passing.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard but always near,
Still loved, still missed and held so dear
Wishing you were still here....xxxx

It's so hard to forget
Someone who gave you
So much to remember

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why,
Our hearts still ache in sadness, and secret tears still fall,
What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know,
Missed so much Mat xxxx

When night are cold, and stars are few
I close my eyes and think of you
A silent hope, a silent tear,
A silent wish that you were here

Thinking about you Mat. Miss your funny pranks. You helped me through some hard times and it made me a stronger person today. Wish we could all hang out again. Wish I could have thanked you for being there for me like you were. We love you and will see you again one day. Thinking of you too Linda xo

Although you can't be with us,
We're truly not apart,
Until the final breath we take,
You'll be living
In our hearts......
Missed so much

My heart is full of memories,
With pride I speak your name,
Though life goes on without you,
It will never be the same

Today I look into the sky and it was beautiful
I then realized it's because you are there
You fly with the angels now
But part of you will always be with us

If every tear we shed for you
Became a star above
You would stroll
In angel garden
Lit by everlasting love

The most painful tears
Are not the ones that fall from your eyes
And cover your face,
It's the ones that fall from your heart
And cover your soul

Time slips by and life goes on
But from our hearts you're never gone
We think about you always,
We talk about you too,
We have so many memories,
But we wish we had you too....Miss you Mat xxxx

A note I'll jot to say I was here,
A flower I'll lay for a memory so dear...

A candle I'll light to show me the way,
A tear I will shed for you did not stay.

A love I carry in a heart still so shattered.
My soul long buried for it no longer mattered. 

Life without you is an endless journey.
Life without you means constant yearning.

Always and forever my Mathew. Always and forever...

No birthday wishes,
Or birthday kisses.
A cake with no candles,
Unable to handle.
Gifts are unopened,
Hearts still broken.
May the Angels sing for you Mathew.
In our thoughts today,
In our hearts forever

I wish I could talk to you. And beg you not to go,
I wish that I had asked what you were going through
but now I will never know.
i wish we had some warning of what you would do that night,
And that you would have given us a chance to save you,
To help you make things right.
I wish you could have soldiered on and worked through your pain,
If you had, I promise you, you would have been happy once again...
I wish the last time I saw you, you didn't rush away,
I wish that I had hugged you and told you how much you were loved.
I wish I could bring you back, to see you one more time,
To hug you close, to see you smile
And then the world once more would be fine;
Mathew, loved, missed, today, tomorrow, forever

Missing you

February 27, 2018
by linda jones

There is no 30th this month, so I'll write you a little note....

I know you are smiling down on us at the moment, and I'm sure that standing by your side is our Bentley, he loved you so Mathew, so take good care of him till we are all together...    I had to get another puppy, Bentley was such a big part of my life...   he can never be replaced but the puppy is keeping me focused...  it's the same with tash, she is just existing, she doesn't date anymore guessing you are a hard act to follow...

We all love and miss you Mathew...   until we meet again..........
