When one looses a loved one no one really knows or can feel the pain and grief that you are living. The lost of a spouse is such a profound loss. I know that words are inadequate at a time like this but people like me what you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and Alexis Rose. In the years ahead you will have the privilege to share with Alexis Rose the love her father Matthew had for her. I pray that you find the strength to get through this very sad and difficult time. Knowing that your parents, brother, family and friends are their for you will hopefully be of solace to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was saddened to hear of Matthews passing, though I only had the pleasure of working with him for the past few years at Sykes and SherWeb, I will always remember him as the man with the smile, with the quiet sense of humor, who loved his family dearly and was always so courageous in his fight. He will be sadly missed around the office and much more so by his family. I offer my deepest condolences to all that knew him and to those that cherished him. I hope to always remember his smile and I hope through this sad time, you can atleast look back on all your fond memories of him and still smile.
