I knew Matt from West Dining Center for only 2 years. We didn’t talk that much, but it was always a sure thing that he’d be there. Now, when I eat there again, I know it won’t feel right because Matt won’t be in the kitchen.
I had a dream about my dear friend last night. He will never be forgotten. I still think about him often. My heart goes out to all of his family and friends. Prayers and hugs.
