I am totally devastated over the death of Matt. He was such a wonderful person.. kind, funny, generous, sweet, and I could go on and on. He bought Heidi her first harnesses and leash. And he knew that pink is my favorite color so.. a pink and green polka dot one he got for her.
The world has lost a real gem of a man.
Sara, Jeanette, Mike, and all the family and friends, I send my most deepest sympathy.
Matt is in Heaven with Angels.. maybe Angels Envy also.
Love you Matt ! Will look forward to seeing you at a later time.

The world somehow continues to move and I'm still standing still wondering how everything can appear normal when looking out at people doing their routines, I cannot grapple how they'll never know that this world has so much less in it now....
We'll catch up Mattie, tell them to have the cocktails waiting...
