These are the characteristics that we truly felt captured the essence of Matt

     A number of years ago, while  visiting at Roger and Marge's  house, Matt was trying to convince me to try scuba diving. I believe the boys had already gone with Roger on one of their recent vacations. When I told him I really enjoyed snorkeling, but was fearful of diving, his response was, " But Aunt Bette you can see so much more when you dive!"  You truly did see so much more, Matt, and your adventurous spirit will remain with us always. Maybe one of these years I'll even take your advice and try scuba diving!

Guess who is in the front of the crowd with a big attention getting smile? Always loved seeing him waiting for the bus- never stood still and always made the other kids laugh.

This picture reminds me of a memory of matt that I will cherish forever.  We were dropping matt off at the stefanis old house on tomlin drive.  When we pulled into the driveway matt asked aunt marge if he could hug me goodbye.  While we were hugging he said he would miss me and walked into the stefanis house.  Miss you matt and wish I could have one last hug. 

This picture reminds me of the time we were in the car dropping matt off at the stefanis old house on tomlin drive and as matt was getting out of the car he ask my aunt marge if he could hug me goodbye.  After we hugged he said he would miss me before going inside.  Miss you matt and wish I could have one last hug.
