Above is Matt's 3 oldest
children at the side of his truck outside the funeral home...( From left to
right is: Timmy, Leanne, and Justin!! Matt's youngest daughter was not
present at his funeral!! Since Matt's death I believe I am the only one in
the family that has seen Stephanie who lives with her mother which was
Matt's ex-girlfriend! Below is a close up of Matthew's truck that his boss,
Wayne allowed my brother, Tom to drive to the funeral as a tribute to
Matthew!!!
It's hard to believe it has
been over 2 years since my brother was taken from us!!! I still think about
him everyday and wonder what I could have done different while he was still
with us!! I LOVE YOU, MATT.... always have and always will!!!!!!

OUR BELOVED MATTHEW
Written by: Barbara Dennis
As a family we are whole no more
Your passing has shaken us to the core
Our missing you will never cease
And only in our dreams do we feel relief
Our memories of you go back to childhood
And no longer can we say the things we should
It pains us to think you felt unloved
Can you feel our longing for you from above
You were a son, brother, husband, father and friend
And what a tragedy your young life had to end
Your loss will be felt by all, you can be sure
Our special thoughts of you will always endure
We will never forget your smile and sweet face
In our hearts there will be an empty place
We keep saying to ourselves "If we only knew"
We'll live with regrets of what we could've said to you
Our hearts, our souls will never be the same
The wind will always whisper your name
On the breeze we'll feel your touch
And make us long for you so much
Be at peace my darling brother and son
We'll await the day where we'll all be one
Your pain is over You're now happy and free
We hope it's all you ever wanted it to be!
Sleep Well, Dear Matthew!!
