Kim, Zachary and Lily and the Lemmon Family:
Heaven is a real place and I know Matthew is praising God for such a beautiful place that Jesus has prepared for all of the saints. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Matthew is in presence of the Lord along with the other saints praising God.
Matthew is a honorable man. He represents a small group of good men who are willing to provide for their families even when we know danger is at the forefront. Matthew is a righteous man of integrity and honesty and I know the Lord is well pleased. Our God is a God of the living and not the dead.
On behalf of all military service personnel serving our country everywhere, I want to thank Matthew and his sweet family for making such a sacrifice to support our men and women in Afghanistan and in other parts of the world. God Bless You. United States Air Force, Master Sergeant (RETIRED) and Mrs. James E."Papa" Hudson
