As I sitting in the car waiting for my son John to attend Matt's visitation yesterday, the song Imagine by John Lennon came on the radio. The song struck me deeply as I immediately thought of Matt. I believe Matt embodied those lyrics and I know whenever I hear Imagine again, I will always remember Matt...and the world will be as one.

My deepest Condolences on the loss of your son Matt.. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few months ago when my Grandson Seth Reynolds brought him up for a few days...He was a sweetheart and I had hoped to see him more...I wish my future had not been cut short of getting to know him better. I had already adopted him as a "Grandson" since he is friends with so many of mine..My tears flow with your family, my sorrow knows a depth outstanding, for he was and always will be in my thoughts. God Bless you all, and give strength and comfort in these trying times of grief.
