As the ten-year mark of time of Matt’s passing approaches, my family and I want to thank you all for your support throughout this last decade. We are grateful for the kindness you have shown us, by visiting, calling, sending a note, or letting us know in another way that we – and more importantly, Matt – are in your thoughts. Thank you.

I am immensely grateful to have shared Matt’s life with him. We are all heartbroken that he is no longer with us on this earth. We are comforted by the fact that Matt gave us so much love, that we feel his energy with us, and that we will one day be together again in the most wonderful place.
