you will never be forgotten!!!!!!!!  / Hank Crawford (Friend)
hey there matt so i would like to say thank you for being apart of my life even though we had or times but who doesnt right. I remember those nights where you, me and jimmy would run around town trying to get anyone to chase us in their vehicle and then not going back to the house on time and basicly forced your dad or your mom to drive around and find us, those were the days i also remember we always found ourselves getting in trouble in middle school or getting on each others nerves in art class lol as i think about it i really dont know what triggered that but its funny now to think about lol. I wish i could go back in time before we lost touch in high school. I can only say thank you for teaching me the most valuable lesson in this world and that is a person really doesn't appreciate what they have until they lose it. You taught me that friendship should never be taken for granite cause when a person does they might not ever get it back. I wish we could have been closer friends then we were. You are a really lucky cat you have the best family in the world and they love you more than anything else in this world, they are so full of love and compassion that it makes me wish my family was as close as yours. Well bud i dont belive in good bye but i see ya later for sure. That shirt your mom gave me when i was home last is always going to stay with me whenever i go just so i know that when im having a hard time i always have a friend with me i can talk to even though you cant talk back to me i know that you are always listening and that helps out a bunch thanks buddy ill see ya later

Another Thanksgiving  / Mom
    Yet another Thanksgiving is upon us. And the heartache is still there. I miss you so much Matt. Seeing you in the kitchen heaping your plate sky high and having that beautiful smile on your face when someone comments on the amount of food you eat. The memories are flashing before my very eyes right now but yet because I won't see that again this year. 

   I question myself alot on whether I told you enough how much I love you, and that you truly were {are} my hero. Did you know how much your mama loves you son? Do you know now?  Does Jesus give you a love for me when I ask him to do so while I'm in prayer? I like to believe He does. Do you know of your big sister Amber's accomplishment with her CNA license? Do you know Ashley is getting ready to move to Denver? Do you know that your dad is now the regional manager? Do you know he has to very rarely drive a truck anymore? The trash truck that took your life is now gone. It's done. It is no longer used. The engine or something of that matter is just shot. And I have mixed emotions about it. You grew up working on the back of that truck, but it's also the one that took you away from me.
   I only have about 180 hours left of my student teaching and I will be done with college son. Yes, I'm proud but I still have that empty feeling knowing you won't actually be there to cheer me on. I plan on carrying your picture with me when I cross the stage to receive my degree. I like to think that it will be one of those times when our Father will pull back the veil and allow you to see your loved ones. I hope I will feel you with me. I love you sweet Matt

precious memories  / Shirley Dean
 

I know the grief we all bear seems at times too much to bear.  I wanted to share a story with you.  We worry about our loved one being forgotten.
My daughter got this idea that she wanted to contact my son Billy's friends after 38 years and tell them about the site.  She talked to some Army friends and school classmates as well.  All the years did not take their memories away.  They remember my Billy.  I was amazed that his memory was indeed living on.  They love him still.  I thought this was so heartwarming to know that Billy is remembered.  It comforted her knowing that her son will always be remembered too.
My son and my grandson will be forever young and forever remembered in the lives of others and that is the best medicine I could ever receive for my broken heart.  
I still grieve for Billy and for Dusty that is only only because I loved them and miss them.  Sometimes love hurts and this is one of those times.
Memories of Billy are still so fresh it is just like yesterday that I last saw my baby boy.  God has blessed me with so many precious memories that are mine and nobody can take them.  So I look at the pain that I endure as part of the loving process because without the pain I would have never loved.
I want to thank each one of you who light candles for Billy.  It is really hard for me to light because all this computer stuff is Greek to me, but each day I say prayers for all of you.  God has never failed me yet and God has brought you to me and I thank Him daily.

Remember you loved one will be never be forgotten, how blessed.
