Words can't begin to express the sorrow in my heart at the loss of our beloved Matt. I know he definitely fought a courageous battle for the last two years, and hope that all who knew him helped him in any way they could. Freda and Cecil, you will be in my prayers for comfort during this time as will be Sunny, Cecilia, and his son and daughter and grandchildren.
