Happy Birthday Matthew! / Sue~ Mom To Ashley Trapp
Matt,
Happy Birthday Big Guy, don't forget to send some kisses in the wind to your Mom; she loves and misses you so very much.
Birthdays do not end with death, But last as long as love, A maelstrom of memories That grace and honor move. And so we celebrate your day By visiting your grave, A place that you have left long since, But is all that we have.
Dear spirit, come and join us here, Your loved ones by your stone! Come sweep across the barrier To claim us as your own!
Happy birthday, dearest one! Oh, happy, happy day! Not even the most bitter night Can take this joy away!
I'm thinking of you my dear friend Joyce, just remember how much Matt loves you all. God Bless, Sue, Ashley's Mom

I miss you Matt / Kassie Stephens (good friend )
Hey Matt,
I just wanted to tell you how much I truely miss you. I think about you everyday that goes by. I wish I could have been there or done something, sometimes I take it out on myself. You were the best friend I could have asked for. Even though it was only for a short time, I can honestly say I never have smiled or laughed the same since you've been gone. There was something about being in your presence that made the world a wonderful place. Maybe it was the way you loved life, I never passed up a chance to be with you and Im so glad. You were such an amazing kid, you made everyones lives bareable when we thought we couldn't go on. When you were in the hospital, I carried around pictures of you and wrote on everyones' hands "pray for Matt". I was in choir at highlanderway when I got called down to the office. My mom was standing there and she said she would come and get me when she heard any news. I ran down to the office expecting my mom to be smiling that you were okay, but instead she was crying. I dropped all my books in my hands, and I started screaming, I knew God couldn't be that cruel and do this to everyone. My mom grabbed me and wouldn't let go, my heart seemed to stop, maybe because I wanted it to. I've never felt so much pain physicaly or emotionaly in my life. All I could do was cry, when I went back to class everyone knew and cried. Crying was all I could do, I couldn't save you. I wrote poems and letters to you everynight for 2 years. It hurt so bad I wanted to bring you back somehow. I remember being at the home and seeing you there. I gave you my cross. For the rest of the day I was numb, to everyone and everything. Going to your funeral was the hardest thing I've ever experienced. When the slideshow of your life came on the large screen and the song "There's a Hero" by Billy Gilman came on everyone cried. To this day I can't listen to that song without cring. When they released the dove after Men's Varsity sang it was like they were releasing you into a new, perfect life. I went and gave your mom a hug and she would not let go of the skateboard the kids gave her from the Freshman Campus. I saw you dad and gave him a hug and he told me if I ever needed any fatherly advice that he was there for me. Your sister and me became pretty close friends after that day. She really helped me by being so strong when I knew she was more upset than anyone. Matt I miss you more than words could express, the times we spent together are irreplacable. You will always have a special place in my heart and I will never forget you, or your baggy black clothes, your smile, or your contagious laugh. You were one in a million. The best thing that ever happened in my life was being blessed to have you for a friend. I love you forever and for always. Your Friend, Kassie
