I did not personally know Matty but my son Philip was very close to him the past couple of years. Philip and he became best friends and Philip shared with me the loss of his good friend and although he is now living in Colorado, he felt deeply moved to be at the service of his dear friend. My heart breaks for you as a mother and as a family. It is our greatest fear and as a parent we can feel the deepest empathy. Bless you all as you make sense of this passage in Matty's journey. I am a believer that things happen to us and FOR us. It helps me to make sense of the messages God has for me as we face the ups and downs in life, both happy and tragic.
