The following letter was read at Matthew's funeral by his grandfather.

 

Our Dearest Matthew,

We want you to know how much we love you. We waited in great anticipation for

your arrival into this world only to have you go to God before that could

happen. You were loved from the very beginning by many people, who love you

still, and who will miss you forever. But don't misunderstand us, we will

never forget you as long as we live, You, as all children are, were our hope

for the future. While we understand now that God needed you sooner than most,

we feel a sense of unexpressible loss that we cannot explain to ourselves or

anyone else. There are thousands of words that we all know, but none of us can

put the right ones together to explain this loss. We will go on with our lives

after we pause here to honor you on this day and we will carry you forever in

our hearts. You are now with some very special relatives who will look after

you unitl we are all together again. We mourn your loss very much and we hope

to find comfort in each other in the days ahead, until we heal from this

untimely event. Until we see you again in Heaven, remember always that you

were and are loved very much by all of us. God speed young man. Your whole

family loves and misses you.
