My heart goes out to Mary and all the family. Matt was a wonderful friend and I enjoyed working with him for 10 years at the concert he always went out of his way to make you feel like a true friend, beautiful person he was. The Lord has gained an angel for sure.. May the Lord wrap his arms around him and take him home. I Was looking at Emily’s post last week, with Grandpa In the background, laughing at his grandchildren’s beautiful picture..
Dear Mary and family,
The Spencer and Vacca families are praying for you and dear Matt. May.he rest in peace.
Dear Mary and Family,
We have lost a friend indeed with Matt’s passing. He brought hard work, dedication and commitment to his years at Blackbird Vending Inc. We were grateful to have him on our staff for so long. We will miss the word puzzles as well as his many book recommendations from his voracious reading list. Also to be missed will be the spirited discussions over many topics, but often included his allegiance to the Detroit Tigers and Lions. Matt was a wonderfully devoted husband , father, grandfather and friend. May he rest in peace….with a treasured book within reach.
Colleen and Steve Hittson, Blackbird Vending Inc.
My heart is so heavy for you and your family Mary.
I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting your husband but I know that he was extra special soul.
Prayers and Hugs
