Condolences

We were so sorry to hear of Matthews passing. Although we didn`t know him well, he was a customer of ours whose visits to our shop we always enjoyed. He was always so pleasant on the phone or when he visited. I know he will be missed by his family and friends, he was taken much too young. Our deepest sympathy, Angela Lee and Charles Brooks

Yvette Thornley // June 16, 2016

Matthew's Journey’s Just Begun Don't think of him as gone away- his journey's just begun, life holds so many facets- this earth is only one. . . Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched. . . for nothing loved is ever lost- and he was loved so much. My prayers are with the family at this difficult time In loving memory, Jan

I remember Matt as a funny guy and fine fellow during our time together at BDHS, then had the pleasure of catching up with him several years later when we were both on the West Coast.

May your memories of Matthew and your strong family connections bring you through this difficult time.
