When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones! and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven,
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

Matt was a true inspiration to me. He showed any dream can come true. Matt showed so much warmth and love, a very careing person to many that loved him so much. Matts dreams will go on forever in heaven. Matt you will always be in my heart and thoughts always. Me and Nathan love you dearly.

Dear family & friends of Matt. I was his friend in high school. He was such a wonderful person. My pain now that he is gone is unbearable, but I know it will never compare to the pain his family is feeling. I miss him so much. You should never have to burry someone so wonderful, & so young. Matt came over to my house almost every day in the summer. One Day I was cooking spagitte for Matt, Scott Van Dyke, and my Mom. Matt came into the kitchen to find out what was taking so long. I told him I couldn't tell if the noodels where done or not. Matt said "my Mom says that if you take a noodle and throw it against the wall and if it sticks it is done." Just to be funny. I took a noodle out and threw it on his shirt and it stuck! I have never seen Matt laugh so hard. I really miss him. I just hope he knew how much I thought about him and truely cared about him. It brought me relief and joy to find out he was a Christian. I was also so proud of his accomplishment in life. He really did wonderful things.

You saw me yesterday wanting to tell everyone about our birthday party, well I messed up. Our party together was the best, we made it double the fun. I wanted to tell everyone about you making the movie of my carvings and all the other things that we both enjoy out in the beatle room. I know that you loved art they way I do. I told you someday when you got your own place and got organized I was going to fix you up with some carvings and such. With your passing Matt I will keep the ones that were your favorite in your honor. I love you and my wish is that I could tell you again.
Love Uncle Joseph
I will never forget you.

Matt was such a wonderful person. I will never forget him. We where friends in high school. He always brought a smile to my face. I have never cried so hard for anyone. I pray he new how much I thought about him & how much I cared about him. I remember he use to come over to my house almost every day in the summer. One day I was cooking dinner for Matt, Scott Vandyke, and my Mom.
Matt came into the kitchen to find out what was taking so long. I told him that I could not tell if the spaghetti was ready or not. Matt said "my mom tells me if you through a noodle against the wall and if it sticks it is done". So just to be funny I through a noodle against his shirt and it stuck! I never saw him laugh so hard. He even saved my Mom from choking one time. Matt was probably the greatest person I've know. I will miss him. I know my pain will never equal the pain his family is feeling. You should never have to burry your son, especially someone so young & wonderful. You will be in my prayers today and forever. He brought joy & laughter to my life, and I will never forget him!

In this time of great sorrow, may my thoughts and prayers be a constant vigil over such tragic and great loss for you and your family.
It is simply not enough to say how sorry I am. Those are only words that can sustain you for the moment. I can only offer you the comfort of being there for you in the coming difficult times.
Please never take pause for one single moment ever if you're ever in need of a friend.
My deepest sorrow and grief is with you and your family always,
