  1. Thank you for the love, time, and memories you gave me! It’s too much to fit in this box. I’m so happy you don’t feel bad or tired anymore. It was an honor to be your “Old lady” and your “Lana”. Until we see each other again, I miss you and I love you!!

  2. Matt, you will forever be missed. And I will never let a day go by without telling our kids how much you loved them. We knew each other better than we knew ourselves and spent 10 years of our life together. You were my first love, some years were definitely better than others, but we got the best things that could have happened to you and I, Matthew and Mildred. And I know you were so Proud to have them! Fly High “Honey Bun” or as some knew you. “Taco” Drink a PBR for us! *Noggin!*

  3. Matt, you were their when I was born. And stayed in my life way after that.. we weren’t blood related, but you WERE and ALWAYS will be my uncle. I will always think of you and the days you’d watch me. Loading me up with mtn. dew and cartoons. You are so so missed. and so loved ❤️👼🏻

  4. “I think that heaven must be grateful. To have you there each day, To bring your easy laughter, And your silly sense of play. And I’m sure that God already knows; The special father you had been, And how I wish that you were here. To guide my way again.”

  5. Hero by Mariah Carey There’s a hero If you look inside your heart You don’t have to be afraid Of what you are There’s an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you It’s a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don’t let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You’ll find the way And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you That a hero lies in you That a hero lies in you

  6. Julie: We pray the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief.
