I went to both Stonydelph and Glascote/Torc High with Matthew. I remember him for his hay fever (terrible from memory) and also when he was 'drunk' at Torc once and collapsed (?) from memory. I had only recently moved up to Lancashire several weeks before reading about the sad news in the Tamworth Herald back in 2008. He was living in Eringden as a kid and I vaguely remember his Mum and/or Dad being associated with the local youth club. I'll always remember his big smile and red hair, those freckles of course. RIP Matt, often think of you. Regards, Danny.

Hi ya son x things going well here x won't be long before Jo takes over Brandon's finances he will be a lot happier when he's got rid of all these idiots that take him for a fool as he is far from it x him and Taylor and the support workers are arranging a paintballing day for them all, there looking forward to it x me I'm just pottering around the house and garden as usual I think the garden looks the best it's ever been x hopefully won't be long before the house is brought x Brandon has his eye on another one on this row to rent out just hope he can get it x you would be so proud of him, he's a lovely chap son x uncle peter is not looking to good he laughs every time when he talks about the time he and Patrick tought you to play crib and you kept beating them x I do miss you so much son, I ask myself why you and not the bastard after birth, I have so much hate inside me towards her,so do the lads, it's hurtful to hear Brandon say he knew she didn't like him, and Taylor don't even go there x well that's my moan over x I love and miss you darling love always mom xxxxxxxx

matthews poem that was read at his funeral by paula perkins

 LONELINESS   

LONELINESS IS A STATE OF MIND

ISOLATION, BOREDOM,ALONE

SAT IN A ROOM ALL ON MY OWN

 

NOTHING TO DO BUT LISTERN TO SILENCE

DEEP IN THOUGHT LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE

YOU LISTERN AND LISTERN, THERE'S NOTHING TO DO

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A VOICE BREAKS THROUGH

IT ASKS ME WHAT DO YOU DO

I'M SAT HERE SAT ALONE LOOKING FOR YOU

IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH , YOU MITE SEE ME

BUT STILL YOULL WONDER WHAT I BE

I WAS ALONE ! I LOOK AND I CANT FIND

YOU WONT FIND ME HERE I'M IN YOUR MIND

NOW I HAVE FOUND WHERE I SHOULD BE

AT PEACE AND REST IN HARMONY
