The picture of you and Becca is so nice. You look good. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and your 31st Bday is coming up. We are having a party. Look in on us. I miss you so much.

My heart is broken, who would have dreamed, you were too young my dear nephew. May Ruth and Steve find comfort that God is taking care of him now. I loved you Matt, but wished I had let you know that! You will most certainly NEVER be forgotten.

You were my little cousin, and always will be. I love you and wish I had been there more for you. I would give anything in the world to see your face right now and be able to see you for who I know you were. You are free now! I will miss you, and think of you everyday for as long as I am on this earth. GOD, you have "the Bro" now, so take care of him well...He's a handful. We love you and will NEVER forget you!
