I’m heartbroken to hear the news of your sons passing. I never had the pleasure of meeting Matthew but his parents are remarkable, kind people and from our limited interactions I could just tell the love you all shared. I always thought how blessed Matthew was to have you as his family and how blessed you were to be his. Keeping you all in my prayers and sending you a tremendous amount of love. May his spirit live on in your hearts and home until you are all reunited in Heaven.

Dear Aleathea, Daren, and Matthew’s family,

I am so sorry for your sadness and loss. Aleathea shared how much joy Matthew brought to everyone who had the honor of knowing him. The laughter and love he shared will always be with those he touched so deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Mi querido Sobrino. Pensar que ya no estás. Pero contento estás en un lugar donde eres libre de caminar y hacer todo lo que quieras libremente. Estás con tus abuelitas y abuelo ahora. Gracias por dejar un mensaje de amor puro. Estarás con nosotros siempre. Matthew We love you.. Elia y Robert

Darito y Araceli mi mas sentido pésame, por el fallecimiento de Matthew a sido una noticia muy fuerte para mi, me siento triste al no poder ni hablarles directamente por que no encuentro la manera de no llorar no tengo valor, yo le pido a Dios que les de fortaleza y paz para que puedan soportar esa partida, lo que me hace sentir mejor es que dedicaron su vida a un ángel y por eso Dios seguro tendrá sus puertas completamente abiertas esperando paciente mente su llegada junto con Matthew, seguiré orando por el para que el señor lo siga teniendo en su reino eterno y por ustedes para que el señor los llene de paz y fortaleza. Que descanse en paz Matthew
