Beautiful Christine, and family, we are grieving with you. Your in our heart and prayers. Know that you will see your beloved Matthew again in Heaven.
As we speak Matt is surrounded with pure love, joy and overwhelm by the majestic beauty he now sees. If you would hear him speak, he would say,
'I LOVE YOU!!! Please don't worry about me, for I am at peace...and I promise you we will meet again in this beautiful paradise called Heaven!
And the next time we come together, we will never part again. Our separation is only for a little while. Until we meet again, I love you!!!'
