To the Lamb family my thoughts and prayers for all of you. Your dad is probably chatting with Terry since he passed away Aug 1,2021, from vascular dementia. I'm thinking heaven is a fun place to be. Fondly Lynn

I loved both Matt and Rose they were charming interesting neighbors and I was delighted to have seen Matts art work from day one. He had a real passion and instant dedication to his art. I was thrilled to see it develop to the extent that it did. Some people come into our lives for a short time but leave an indelible mark every member of this family that I met did just that Im grateful to have known you

matt thoughts are with you and family followed your dads painting throu the years my thoughts are with you

Rose and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Matts passing. My deepest condolences to you all.

Do you have a contact phone number for Matt Lamb IV?

Dear Lamb Family,

You have consoled my family since the early 1800's. I have the receipts to prove it! Now it is my turn to give you back some prayer, sympathy and condolences. May GOD hold you in HIS hand and strengthen you today and in the coming months.

Dear Rose and Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of Matt. He was a good man and loved by many. My John passed away on October 18, 2011; just four months before Matt, so I know it is not an easy time for you. My loss is still very fresh so all we can do is pray to John and Matt and remind them to take care of us until we meet some day in Heaven. God Bless,
Eileen McGonigal

Although happy for Mr. Lamb seeing God and being in total loving happiness/ peace, I am very sorry he couldn't have been here longer with all of you. He as is his whole family is one of the kindest and most generous families I've been blessed to know. Mr. Lamb's greatest accomplishment as is Mrs. Lamb's is how great of parents they are. Because of them, their children, grandchildren and so on will bless this earth, bringing love and peace to so many. Thank you Mr. Lamb for being the wonderful, loving and generous person you are. I'm sorry that I and my family just heard of your passing into heaven or we would have been there this past Sunday and Monday. My dad and mom just heard and told me. My heart breaks for all of you that you miss him. Enjoy each other that are still here on earth, you will see your husband, dad, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, friend (Mr. Lamb) soon. When you join him in heaven it will be only seconds to him since the last time he was with you. I love you very much Sheila!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you, your dad and your entire family!! xoxoxoxo Sherrie

Matt, Today I found out you lost your father. Please know my prayers are with you and your family. He had such a great sense of humor. He has touched so many people throughout his life. His passion for art really was such a blessing for many people around the world. I was blessed to have known him.
May all your family know I'm thinking of them and praying for comfort throughout this very hard time.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I worked at Rosehill Cemetery, while I didn't have tons of contact with Mr. Lamb, when I did...he was a true gentleman, caring and professional.

Though our artistic journeys just recently came together in Marathon Key,.....the effect our conversation in your studio had on me will be forever retained with the warmth you provided. Matt, take care of the angels for me until I to hopefully get there.

Dear Lamb Family,

My sincere condolences to all of you. What a wonderful man - so generous and kind! Many fond memories ...especially the evening McAuley alumnae and supportors were being hosted in Chicago with Cardinal Bernadin as guest of honor.

Dear Rose, Matt. Rose Colleen & Shelia, I was so sorry to hear about your husband/fathers death. We have so many wonderful memories of spending time with you in the city and at Burlington. Guess there is an interesting game of "pitch" going on in heaven now. You have our sympathy and prayers at this sad time . Fondly,

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

On behalf of the Christian Brothers, I would like to offer you my sincerest sympathy on the death of your dad. He was a great man who was held in the highest regard by us.

Dear Rose and family -
My deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your wonderful husband, loving father and dear grandfather. What a terrific talented artist and humanitarian. I worked with you at Aetna, Rose, many, many years ago and I want you to know I still remember you fondly and also remember when you married Matt, wow, 57 years ago. I am so very sorry for your loss, but may the Lord's comfort and peace surround you in the days ahead as I know your loving family will as well. God bless you all.

Matt was on the board at Little Company of Mary Hospital when my father (Dr. Peter J. Talso) was medical director there. He considered Matt a dear friend. I was honored to be a guest at Mr. Lamb's Gold Coast home for a reception for the Little Company of Mary Fashion Show. He was a gracious host and a patron of the arts. He will be truly missed. You have my deepest sympathy.

Jennifer Talso Alexis

Please accept our condolances on the lost of your husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfater, and great grandfather. I am sure that we would have been blessed to have known him and hope to see his art someday when I travel to Chicago, Colleen and Craig Suprenant. (Sister of Melissa Lamb)

We send our love.

I am someone who knew Mr.Lamb since I can remember when the Lambs lived in St. Catherine of Alexandria. They were friends of my parents, Tom and Helen,over many years. Because of this knowing, we turned towards the Lamb Family Funeral Home on 103rd in Oak Lawn when our first baby died -only 19 days after her birth.........40 years ago next month on Easter Sunday. Matt went to University of Chicago to pick her up on this Sunday and helped us through many of the steps needed to bring her to Church. He did this personally and spent some time with us with this overwhelming terrible loss. Today, we have an additional seven children but we will always remember Matt and his kindness. Our family always felt the same. He will be missed and welcomed by all of us who cared about him. We say,"thanks."

Dear Lamb Family,

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your father on behalf of Dorothy Muth and her family. The Lamb family had always been good to our family. We never really knew all of the other parts of your fathers life until we read his obituary and visited his website for the musuem. What a wonderful, artistic, peace loving man. May happy thoughts of your father fill your hearts at this time. God's love and peace be with all of you.

To the Lamb family,

Very sorry for your loss. What a legacy he has left! I read his blog and it was wonderful. I have always been grateful for the Lamb kindness extended to my parents, Eileen and Bud Hullinger.
All my love and prayers,
Sue Hullinger Farrell

Rose, Matt, RoseMarie. Colleen, & Sheila, my deepest condolences on the passing of a truly great and wonderful man. During my family times of need, Matt was always there to guide, help and assure that all would be taken care of. He will surely be missed.

Dear Rose and family
I'm in Mexico and a friend who knows how highly I think of all of you sent me the sad news......Even though we didn't see each other much, I will always treasure what time we did spend together. Especially Matt's opening in Venice, that was a magical night, one that I will never forget.....God bless you all and give you strength in this dreadful time......love. Cynthia Olson

Dear Rose and Family,
I was shocked to learn of Matt's passing. He always seemed like a force of nature to me. He was one of the most influential people in my formative years. His influence helped put me on the successful course I still enjoy today, 30 years later. He was always a benefactor of our entire family and we will not forget him and his kindnesses to us.

Dear Rose, We were so sorry to hear of Matt's death - a true "Leo Man". We think of him often when we use our glasses that he so artfully painted!! May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Rose and the family. I have fond memories of Matt as he was a member of our group, the "dirty dozen" when we went to school at St. Sabinas in the early 1940's. Rest in peace, Matt.
Ralph Thompson, Westchester, Illinois

Dear Rose and family, Our world is truly a poorer place without Matt in it. Please accept our most sincere sympathy. He was indeed a unique wonder and we treasure our times with you and the years of friendship with our family. You are in our hearts and prayers. God speed, Matt. You had quite a run! With great affection, Pat and Peter Martino

As a retired Sergeant of the Chicago Police Department who was responsible for coordinating benefits for officers killed in the line-of-duty, The Lamb family exceeded all expectations in accomodating police officers' families when tragedies occured. May Matt rest in peace!

Our planet has lost a marvelous, free spirited artist; a man of joy who was also an astonishing force in the world of entrepreneurialism. He leaves a truly beautiful family and we weep and laugh with you and count ourselves so very blessed to have shared part of the journey. Simone and Roger Nathan, Lake Geneva, WI

The funeral service has lost a great mentor. I took many lessons from his book and as a Chicago-area funeral director, I put his ideas and values into my own practice.

Dear Rose, So sorry to hear of Matt's passing. We are in Fla. and will not be able to attend either the viewing or the funeral. Wanted to let you know how highly he has always been thought of by Pat and myself, along with the hundreds of parishioners from St. Nicholas.
We never will forget how he supported our parish in those beginning days in Oak Lawn. A true friend.
Our deepest sympathies are extended to you and your family.
With much Love and Respect,
Tina and Pat Savas (St. Nicholas)

To the Lamb Family, Our deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your father, Remember those we love don't go away they walk beside us every day.Unseen, unheard still always near, still loved, still missed, still very dear.

A life of creativity and service to humankind on earth has sended, and I am sorry for your loss. For decades, Mr. Lamb and his family always generously stepped forward to serve the C.P.D. in the line-of-duty deaths of Chicago police officers and we are grateful. May he know God's peace now and forever.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Lamb family during this difficult time, We are so deeply sorry for your loss. To have known Matt was a real honor, one We'll never forget. We'll keep you all in Our prayers here in Ireland and
may God's promise provide you some comfort during this distressing time.
