My sincerest condolences to Matt’s family and friends.
I think about you every single day. It never seems to get better. I miss you so much and regret everyday that I was so stubborn all those years ago. I wish I could see you and talk to you; to just hug you and tell each other that everything will be okay. I miss you so much Matt.
Always with love,
Tommy
I find it so hard to believe that it’s 5 years and you I still wish that you were here with us it’s so crazy after right now and seems like I’m making it even crazier than it needs to be even though I know you probably wouldn’t give me the best advice right now you would give me the advice to your heart felt it really sucks that somebody is good as you was taken out this place so soon pisses me off so much every time I think about it and there’s nothing I can do but keep telling myself that one day I’ll be ready to see you again and tell you can’t believe that you definitely I’m glad you’re not suffering and I know it’s selfish but I miss you
