    I don’t know what to say, some people you meet briefly and see what a wonderful person they are. With Matt, you not only saw it by him supporting Alisha but by him taking the time to come to the ball games and watching the girls and helping out when needed. I am glad that they found happiness even if it was for such a short time. Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family as you are who he was and is and he was a special young man.
