Jerry, Joanne,and Kris- We want to extend our deepest sympathies to you and all your family at the loss of Matt. Words alone cannot fill the void felt by the loss of a loved one but we pray that God will grant you a measure of comfort at a time like this. Having Matt as a student, I always felt that we sort-of-bonded when he was having trouble fitting in other places. He was ' special.' Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Love ya.

There really aren't words that do justice for this tragedy. Matt was a wonderful childhood friend, and your family was always welcoming, warm, and supportive. I'm very sorry for your loss. Take each day one day at a time, and please take care of yourselves.

My heart breaks for you. There are no words that can ease your sorrow. I pray your memories will sustain you and knowing that although you have said goodbye to Matthew for now, the Lord said welcome home, where there is no pain or sorrow. The Bible says this world is not our final home, our true home is in heaven.
