Hello All.
Emma, so sorry to hear the news. Matthew was an inspiration to all, and he put up a good fight. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.
I haven't posted for quite awhile, things hadn't been going well, and I had been busy helping my mother. Sadly, my father passed away on Friday night, April 3rd, at 11:41pm. My mother, my sister, my son and I all at his side. It was very peaceful, he just stopped breathing.
What a horrible disease, what a horrible thing for us all to go thru. I think of you all often, and will pray for all. Thank you for your insight, friendship, and comfort that I received from you and this site, from so far away.
