"There is nothing i can do to make him come back There are no words I can say that can replace the words you long to hear. There are no answer's I can give that will satisfy your questions. There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his. And there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared. I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete. I will not say it could have been worse I will not deny it was a tragedy. I will not lie and tell you he will come back He is every step you take He is in everything you do He is the air you breathe. He is every beat of your heart He is like the wind. You can not see him... but you will always feel him"

Such a precious handsome angel Matthew♥ / Terri♥Mom 2. Angel Brent Bowden
Dear Diane First I am so sorry for your loss of your truly handsome young son. I too lost my son 18 months ago and I am still completely numb & totally heartbroken~life is so different & lonely without my angel Brent. Matthew and Brent sound so much alike. I bet they have become good friends in heaven and are really busy watching over all of us down here. I cried & cried when I read about the butterflies that keep showing up wherever you are. I am seeing butterflies everyday and I feel like it is Brent letting me know he is with me. He helped me build a beautiful rock garden in my backyard a couple of summers ago and it is my favorite place on earth right now. Every morning when I sit out there I have a very large monarch butterfly that visits me and I just know its Brent☻it so warms my heart. Your daughter-in-law wrote so beautifully about it and only confirms for me what I already believed. Thank you for sharing that with us♥ Matt's site is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful tribute to a very special young man. Wherever I go I also have been finding feathers. Before I never noticed them much but now I find them everywhere. Every time I visit the cemetery there is always a feather along the way to Brent's site. Its almost like he leaves me a trail. It makes me feel good everytime I see one and of course I have to pick them up I have quite a collection going. Keeping your family & your precious Matthew in my heart and prayers. Love Terri Bowden In loving memory of our handsome sons

I SIT AND THINK OF WHAT HE MUST HAVE BEEN THINKING OR WAS HE IN ANY PAIN AT THAT TIME. HE WAS 32 YEARS OLD AND LIVED IN HIS OWN HOME. THE DIFFERANCE IS YOUR SON WANTED TO LIVE I'M SURE OUR SON MADE A LAST DICISION ONE HE CAN NEVER TAKE BACK. ON THAT DAY DAVID CHOSE TO DIE. HE HAD BEEN DEAD FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE HIS DAD AND YOUNGER BROTHER FOUND HIM. I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU DIANE THAT FROM THE HEART OF ONE GRIEVING MOM TO ANOTHER WE WILL SEE OUR BOYS AGAIN NOT FOR JUST A MOMENT DAY OR EVEN A YEAR BUT FOR ALL ETERNITY. GOD BLESS YOU SWEETHEART AND MAY HE GIVE YOU AND ALL WHO LOVE AND MISS MATTHEW COMFORT AND STRENGTH~*~
Thinking of you / Cheryl Radford -Jeremy's Mum (Connected by our Angels )
Matt, I have come here tonight to say 'Thank You' for bringing your precious family into my life. You know how hard it is for Mom, I understand her pain, and yet there is so little we can do to heal it. Matt does time make a difference? If so maybe you could let Mom know. It could give her something to look forward to.
I ask you also to help Dad with his grief and also his work. Matt, this is one anniversary that is so hard for us. Not a time to celebrate, rather a time of reflection and an opportunity to give thanks for all the special memories that have been created around you with such love and devotion.
May your time with your angel friends bring joy, peace and love to you and your family that miss you so much. May your find comfort in the knowledge that Mom is loved and she is working away down here bringing joy to her many friends that have come to know and love her. I am so glad that we are friends and I say a huge thank you...

A Poem I found tonight on Matt's angel day... / Diane Rodgers (Mom) Give me all your tears and I will take them to the sea I am the keeper of all tears for it is I who will set them free.
They will mix with other tears from the world both far and wide folks just like you in stressful times who felt such a need to cry.
Those tears of hurt and pain of loneliness in your heart burdens you’ve carried for so long for in the oceans they will depart.
Tears you’ve shed because of loss of someone loved so very much Those tears I will release for you and your loved one will keep in touch.
If you have trouble finding them and your well of tears have dried bring up the ones deep in your heart those tears that you’ve tried to hide.
Give those tears that drag you down that weigh heavily on your mind the tears locked up in your past the ones you are afraid to find.
I will take all the tears you give and as I release them to the sea your heart will feel so much lighter that you gave them unto Me.
From Peggy for Matt's angel day ... / Diane Rodgers (friend of family ) Dear Diane, I know how hard this day is!! Just getting through is about all we can do...Please know you and Timmy, Kerri and Todd, Shawn and Jenn, all your family are in our thoughts and prayers.... You are always in my heart...

From Diane Jones ~ Friend of our family / Diane Rodgers (friend of family ) Hi Di!! Just wanted you to know I have been thinking of you and Timmy all day today.

I pray that God will give your souls the rest and peace that you so deserve and yearn for.
Call me or write if you need anything at all.
