Matthew was murdered by Jodie Hoogstra in the early hours of Valentine's Day. This was an avoidable, inexcusable act of evil toward someone who was loved by so many...
Poem
What Matthew would probably say…
Matthew, I can’t take this pain…why put me through this again?
I always told you that I couldn’t live without you and Natasha, a mother goes first, that’s the way it’s supposed to be…why never for me?
I love you so much; my stomach is always tied in knots.
I feel sick, tired and don’t want to do anything, but have so much to do.
I just don’t see how I how can, without you.
You are my sweet, happy, funny, smart little man
Always trying to do whatever you can.
You could always make me laugh; you made me so very proud
This hurts so bad, I could just scream out loud!
I told you to be careful, you weren’t indestructible, stay out of ****…
Yet you wondered why I was always having a fit…?
The name Matthew means a gift from God
Why does that now seem so odd?
This whole nightmare is just not at all fair;
I just got you back from that crap down there.
I never knew that one person could hurt so bad,
I didn’t know that I could ever be this mad!
So now every day I sit and cry and cry
Asking God every night, Why, oh why?
Sometimes I pray to God that I too could just die
So I could float way up so very high,
Until I hear you say with sigh,
“Over here, Mom, I told you I was fine…â€
“Look there’s Grandma waiting for me at the front of the line.â€
“Now get back down there
I will let you know when and where…â€
“Natasha needs you, Mom
Since it might seem to her that I’m really gone…â€
But deep down you must know,
That I am a part of you both,
This means that I will always live on; I’ll never really be gone.
by Shannon Allan (Mom)
I love you forever, Matthew, I like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be...
(borrowed from Robert Muncsh)

An angel from the book of life wrote down your name at birth,
and whispered as she closed the book to precious for
this earth. xxxx

TO MATTHEW
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered 'Come with Me.'
With tearful eyes We watched you
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
A much loved child at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
It's lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day
Life doesn't seem the same
Since the day you went away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper
'Chin up and carry on.'
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say
'Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping
We'll meet again someday.'

Letter From Heaven
To my dearest family, some things I would like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this letter from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and he said, " I welcome you, It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. I need you here badly, your part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, If I were to tell you, you would not understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over. I am closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, But together we can do it by taking one step at a time. It was always my philosophy and I would like it for you too, That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, Then you can say to God at night, " My day was not in vain." And now I am contented that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free. Remember you're not going... you're coming here to me. By Anon xx Sent With Love xx
