Susie, I am just hearing of your loss. Praying for you and your family. We will all be meeting our loved ones again in Heaven. Love,

Matt moved to Chicago and lived with me for a year. One of the many memories I have is when he ask me to pull over so I did, matt got out l, walked over and started pushing an old ladies car to side of the road that was blocking traffic. He did little things regularly…think about u everyday
Last time I saw him he gave me a hug (shocked me, that wasn't a matt kern thing to do.) And he said " you never know, I may never see you again." Never forget you little brother.
We are so sorry to hear this. May God give you peace that passes understanding.
💔🥰🙠hugs and prayers to our family!
