Matthew's Guestbook
August 9, 1998
Well sweetheart just stopped in to say we miss you. Yesterday channel 12 and the New Bern Jacyees held the 21st telethon for CF. Believe or not this year they raised over three hundred thousand dollars for research. Maybe some day they will find a cure and others won't have to suffer and die like you did.

Dear Matthew,
What a handsome and special young man you are. You have left behind a wonderful and thoughtful mother and I pray that you are watching over her tonight. If you see my Kathy up there, please give her a big hug for me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART! Well it,s hard to believe it has been 24 years since you came into this world. You fought a brave fight all your life. Now it has been almost nine months since you went to be with Jesus and I still miss you so much. I'd give anything just to hear you say Ma scratch my back. It's all those little things I miss. Can you believe I have learned how to use your computer?
We love and miss you

Thanks so much for signing Sam's page. I am very sorry for the loss of your son. This is a truly beautiful page. Your son had so much going for him. I'm sure he was chosen for a good reason to be taken up to heaven so early on in his lifetime. As hard as it is to take, you should be proud of all that your son has accomplished. God Bless you.

Dearest Judy,
I am so sorry to hear of your son's untimely death and his struggle with cystic fibrosis. So many diseases take such wonderful people from us these days. I have chosen the "Rose" to remind you that "Your Wonderful Matthew" is now another "Rose Beyond the Wall"~and a Beautiful Addition to God's Lovely Bouquet. May it give you peace to know that he is the tender, loving, arms of our Lord and Savior. I also wanted to Thank You so much for your kind words regarding my son Greg's Passing. It meant so much to me to have you visit his site. I appreciate your kindness and your caring. I live in California, and Greg's Father lives in Illinois, so it was very hard for us when our son died so far away from his home and his family. It's nice to know that someone "from there" cared. God Bless You!

Well honey it's hard to believe you left us a year ago. The time has slipped by so quickly yet sometimes it just drags by. I still find it hard to accept that you are gone, I keep waiting to hear MA fix my something to eat or Scratch my back. I'm sending you a butterfly as a symbol of rebirth and a free spirt. May you fly high and be pain free. Remember I'll always love and miss you.

You are released from your pain and discomfort now and I know you are held in God's arms. Your life meant a lot to those left behind, and I am sure they will always cherish your memory. Say hello to Todd Munsell for me. He's a great guy, you will like him.

Matthew,
Your mom did a beautiful job on your memorial. You must be very proud. I can tell by the words she wrote that she loves you very much and misses you tremendously. The more I visit the memorials of children the more I am convinced all of our children were returned to Heaven for a reason. All of you had so much potential, all of you were beautiful children, and all of you were so special. Stay close to your mom when the hard days come. Let your spirit be known to her to give her comfort. And may God Bless you and your family.

The feeling of losing a child is very hard. I lost my daughter in June of 1996 and still today I talk to her all the time which makes it easier if that could be said. Knowing of a short life but full my heart goes out to you for your lost.

Merry Christmas sweetheart! I still miss you so much, it's so hard to accept your gone. I'm trying to cook dinner but had to stop and come to write you a note. Justin had a good Christmas. Santa brought him a hobby horse like his uncle Matthew had when he was little.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND WE LOVE YOU.

HAPPY NEW YEAR SWEETHEART!!!!! Well it's 1999 and another year has gone. Daddy and Eddie are playing in Swansboro tonight. I thought about you when the ball dropped in New York and how you always went outside to welcome in the new year. Christmas eve a strang thing happened. You know how we always left the tree on so Santa could find our house since you were 3. Well this year we turned the tree off so if Justin Got up he wouldn't see his presents till it got daylight. Well when I went to check on the turkey at 2 am the lights were off. About 2:30 the dogs jumped up and ran to living room barking like someone they knew had come in. When I went to check they were at the front door wagging thier tails and the Christmas tree lights were on. All the doors were locked. I told your father I think your spirit did it. Some people might think I'm crazy but I believe. I know the lights were off then 30 minutes later they were on by themself and the dogs action are hard to explain. I love and miss you.

Dear Judy,
Today I saw your message that you wrote to me. I was so taken by it and the butterfly. I did not know Ryan had a guest book. I saw your precious Matthew. He is so handsome. I sent you a yellow rose because my son has a yellow rose garden and him and Mathew are talking about how they are going to help us get through this very hard grief journey. I just know they are! I am sending you lots of love and care, thanks for your uplifting note!
Love,

Your son accomplished alot in his few years with you. About 1 1/2 years before I lost my son, a baseball friend of his dies from heart trouble (he was 17). His parents had been told at his birth that he would only live a few months, he also accomplished alot. Little did I know that when we attended his funeral that I would bury Andy soon. We sometimes learn too late to live one day at a time and love and hug our children everyday. Pleas visit my site and meet Andy. Maybe these kind of sites will encourage other parents to not take their precious chilren for granted. Lots of love to you.

I too am so sorry for your loss. Matthew was a handsome man. I also had a set of twin boys with C.F. one just passed away in a car accident Nov.1,1998. His brother is very healthy as was Jimmie. I know how much love you had for him and all the pains. Knowing that they will be waiting with open arms when it is our turn to be with them is our only concolation. God Bless You.

Judy,
I know the pain your going threw and there are no words or anything that can take it away. It will always be a scar in our hearts, but just remember one day we will see our children again. I know the Lord will permit this to happen to all, whom lost their children. God Bless You and Yours and may the Lord give peace, to everyone whos lost a child or love one.
