Dear Matthew. Your Aunt Margaret will always love and remember your kind and loving spirit and faith. You were always there for my sister Paula even in the toughest times.. Cant imagine how to go on without you in my life. I know that God picked you like a flower when He was ready. He knows when, you are to be born and He knows your passing I cherish every moment that we shared. You were always kind and good and I remember when you effortlessly picked up Grandma and carried her to the truck to go up to the hospice house in the mountains. She was settled down so much by your caring act. I know I will see you on the other side I know but I will miss you until I get a hug in Heaven.
Matthew,
Though I wasn't allowed to be a part of your life after graduation, please know that I loved you and Ben so much. I always missed both of you, my brothers, and I wish things had been different. I remember walking you to class on your first day of kindergarten. I still have that picture. You were always such a sweet child. I remember how I would read you and Ben bedtime stories and we would just giggle so much. I remember you sat with me at the Haunted Mansion in Disney World because you knew I would keep you safe. You and Ben called me Ness, remember, because y'all couldn't say sister. I love you baby brother, loved you both, always have, always will. Love Ness.
Rest in peace,Matt.I have always loved you as my grandson .So sorry I didn't get to tell you in person.I did talk to Ben a lot at his Dad's office and told him to tell you.Love,Mommy Nurse
Sorry to hear of Matt’s passing. My sympathies to the family.
