Three years on...
We still miss Matthew so very much and don't expect this to change. It feels as if part of us has been torn away and it hurts to think that Matthew is not with us anymore.
At the same time we hold on to the certain hope that Jesus will return, and Matthew with Him.

During 2014 we were very pleasantly surprised and encouraged when friends of ours made us aware of a book in which Matthew was quoted! The book is "You Can Pray" by Tim Chester, published by IVP. Matthew is quoted on page 104-105 &174.
Work has begun on Matthew's headstone which will be placed on his grave in Kirby-le-Soken's church yard in 2015.
Thank you to all of you who have sent us messages of encouragement throughout the year and for reminding us that Matthew has not been forgotten.
May you all have a lovely Christmas, celebrating our Saviour's birth.
On the third anniversary of Matthew leaving this world for a better place, we are reminded again of an amazing grandson. We miss your beautiful smile, warm personality and the wonderful relationship we had. One day we will be reunited in the presence of the Lord Jesus our Saviour and our friend.

We continue to miss Matthew's remarkable warmth, smile and sense of humour. We feel very privileged to have known him and he will remain in our hearts forever.
