  3. I did not personally know Mathew but would like to extend my deepest condolences to his parents. The pain that is caused as a result of losing a son is unbearable as it is so unnatural and unexpected. The last book in the bible Revelation 21:4 in part says “neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” In the near future God himself promises that no one will suffer in any way. God also promises that then we will be able to reunite with our loved ones like Mathew on a perfect earth where death will be no more. Hold on to these promises I hope my words will give you strength through this difficult and sad time. I will include you in my prayers

  4. Bill and Rachel~ The girls and I are thinking of you guys. I know this has to be the hardest thing you have ever endured- I pray you’ll find the strength to make it through. You have many good friends that will be looking out for you both. May Matt rest in peace.
