Thinking about you.....  / Leigh (missing You)
I'm sitting here, thinking about and missing you and Matthew.  My hearts been pretty heavy lately... but you know me, I hold it in till I can't hold it anymore.  The girl I've been working with, lost her little sister a couple of years ago, she was about your age.  It's helped talking to her, she knows what it's like.  But I'm worried because I know we still have so much more to go through and I know I'm not through the worst of it yet!  I've been grieving and asking why for a year and a half now...but I don't think I've even gotten to the angry part yet.  I feel like I've had to put all my emotions on hold, because obviously we have so much further to go... It's just a nightmare that we never get the luxury of waking up from!!  I miss you so much and somehow I still feel like around some corner I'm going to see you, you'd think I'd be past that by now!?  I know I'll see you someday, but at the moment, that's not making me feel any better...  I love you so much!!

~Always your 'Sissy'~

Keep Matt's Memory Alive  / Another Everyday Visitor
As an everyday visitor, I have become so caught up in this family's life.  I want to keep up with the latest court news, with what's going on good or bad in the lives of these people.  Matti's pics are so cute, I hope Jane will keep posting new ones to let us see how pretty she is as she gets older.  All the people who visit daily or often have become a part of this family and care deeply for them.  We all go through the trials and tribulations with them and in our hearts are there for them.  I don't know, I guess since I haven't seen many postings lately I am afraid people will forget or become to busy to stop by and drop a line or two.  Please don't stop communicating, let's keep Matt's memory alive! He was a special person to a lot of people.

Shared Pain  / Brandy Brown

My name is Brandy, I lost my best friend Euan, on November 10, 2006 to murder. These past 5 months have been hard, his killer is still at large. They did not know each other, Euan happen to be at the wrong place, wrong time. I have created a website on Myspace, but was hoping you could tell me how to create a site like Matt's. by the way, its a beautiful memorial. I feel like I know him personally now-- such a beautiful baby girl. I hope your family & Matt gets the justice you deserve. I pray everyday we locate Euan's killer. My deepest sympathies. Close

I love you  / Mom
Son I miss you so much.  I wish you could have been here to help me celebrate my birthday.  Your friends stood in for you again as usual and made it a special day.  You would have liked the decorations on my car it was definately something you would have done.  It made me smile though because I know you must have been right there with them when they did it.

The next few weeks are going to be real hard.  I am already dreading the trial.  I know we will be meeting with the DA soon and that is going to be so hard to review everything before we start the trial.  Our hearts are heavy son and we need you to stay close.  I don't think I can bare the things I have to endure but there is no way around it and the only way any of us are going to get through this is to know you are with us.  No family should ever have to go through this.  The court system definately does not consider our pain it's all about them and their lives now.  We have already been given our life sentence one that will never go away.  I just pray that all involved will get their share of what little justice the system will offer.  Your life meant something and you have been ripped short of that and Matti has been denied the father that she deserved.  Everytime I look into her precious little face I get angry that she cannot have the daddy that she needs so much.  The one that would have loved her like no other.  She is absolutley precious Matt and you would be so proud of her.  I know you are with her but it's not the same.  She is so much like you always happy and smiling and she is even getting that same look you use to have when she does something wrong and then she'll smile at you.  I see you in her everyday.  There is not a day that goes by I don't thank God for her to help me hang on.

Someday this world will be over and the pain will end for me and your brother and sisters.  What a day that will be when we see you again.  Until then I will hold every memory I have of you close and I will love you everyday.  You will always be my son and you will always be in my heart.  I love you.

Be with Leigh, Rick and Brittaney too because I know they need you.  My pain is not the only one they miss you so much too.  Their world is always missing a piece that they can't replace.  The four of you were a whole and someday that piece will be reconnected but until then it will never be right.

I know Erica is still missing you so much.  She finally went and saw your car Friday and went to the cemetary to see you and then to the scene she just had one of those days we all have that you can't shake sometimes.  It never gets easier or goes away we just learn to live with it but believe me none of us ever forget.

Son we all miss and love you and until the day we see you again rest in peace my angel.  We are going to do all we can here on earth to keep your memory alive and make the ones responsible for this pain pay for what they did.  I love you, watch over little Matthew we love and miss him so much too but we know you are watching over him.  Both of you will forever be our angels!!!!!!!!!!

I love you,
Mom Close

ALWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS  / Janeane Bricker Brandons Mom (My Sons An Angel Too )



Dear Jane and all of Matts family,
            Please except my deepest heartfelt condolences. This never should have happened to Matt. If only I could fix things neither one of us would have any reason to be on a memorial site at all and our sons would be here with us.
            You see Jane I lost my only son Brandon on July 10th 2006. He was only 9yrs old and he died in an atv accident. So yes honey I know the pain of losing a son but no baby I can't say I know of all the hell you and your family have had to endure over this horrible tragedy.
          I wish I knew some special words of comfort but there aren't any to even come close to the love we shared with our boys. I do thank God for the time we had but I'm not to happy with the way things are. I know that every thought I've had, like wishing I could turn back time has also went threw your mind too.
         I just wanted you to know that I care and I will be praying for all of your family. I saw what you wrote about buying the casket and the headstone and I felt exactly the same way. We also live in the same state, actually not to far apart. I live right outside of Wilmington NC in Rocky Point. Take Care and if you ever need to talk, I'm here for you all.
                            Love Janeane Close
