  2. I have a first grade daughter at FCE, the information distributed by the school is how I find out about Matthew. My heart goes out to all of Matthew's family right now. I pray that they will have peace that Matthew is in a wonderful place right now and is with his heavenly father. I can only imagine how hard it is for all the family right now. You will all be in my prayers today and in the future.

  3. Our son was in Matthews kindergarten class, he was such a sweet and beautiful little boy. We are thinking of you and your family in your time of pain and sorrow. He is now at peace and watching over all those that loved him. With Deepest Sympathy, The Suarez Family

  4. As I read about this beautiful little boy who was taken out of this world too soon, I cannot stop sobbing uncontrollably. I didn't know Matthew and I don't know his family, but it hurts when I think about this tragedy. My heart physically aches when I think of the pain your family is going throught right now. The emotions you are all experiencing right now must be overwhelming, but just know that maybe we all share your grief, and as we cry with you, maybe in some small way, we can help lighten your load. I have 3 children, and 1 of the 3 is a 7 year old boy who also goes to Thorpe Creek Elementary, which is how I found out about the accident. It hurts to think of life without my son and this story makes me realize once again that we are only here for a short while, enjoy each moment with the people we love while we can. Thank you for sharing Matthew's story! Maybe we can all learn from it. I am not a very "godly" person, I guess. But I do believe there is hope that you will see Matthew again. I had to search, but I found in John 5:28, 29 it says: "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [my] voice and come out.” Maybe that will bring a little comfort to your family.

  6. Matthew was my nephew, he lived with us. He was the best little boy you could ever ask for. As Jamie said," he was one of those little boys you could look at and no he was going to make a difference in the world." He wasn't a trouble maker, he was just special. The one thing that made me smile everyday is he would tell me,"I love you Aunt Andrea." It was always at random, never a certain time he just did it. I know that little boy is looking down on me now and saying don't cry Aunt Andrea its going to be okay. Thank you everyone for comments and support. We have a long road ahead of us but we know Matthew is watching over us!

  7. I am so saddened by your loss. I helped take care of him at Methodist, and I know that he had a family that loved him very much. I continue to pray for your family during this difficult time.
    Love,

  8. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers. The kids were telling me some things that they remembered about Matthew and I just wanted to share them with you. Haley told me that she thought Matthew was so smart because he liked to do puzzles and that one time he did "a really big one, with like a hundred pieces". Joshua told me that Matthew was his buddy and he will really miss playing with him but he said "It's ok that Matthew went to Heaven because then he will be an angel and Jesus will fix his whole body and he will be all better" The kids miss you all and Joshua wants me to tell you that he wants to give Andrea a really big hug. If you need anything please tell me as you have always done everything you can to help us out. You truly have a heart of gold.
    God Bless,
    The Stroups

  9. A few years ago I lost a 7 year old grand-nephew to a motorcycle accident. I always try to find something positive in everything that happens, no matter how horrible. I struggled a long time with that one. What I came up with is that he would always be 7. Matthew will always, always be a sweet, innocent 6 year old little boy. Your memories of him can never be tarnished. That is something to cherish.

  10. We were so sorry to hear about Matthew. He was the light of our summer in Elwood last year. He brightened everyday, along with Hayley, and Crissy and Makaela. Matthew loved the puzzles, dressing up in outfits, playing with the "food" making menus we all pretended to eat. I took a few photos and wish I had taken the Halloween costume with him in it. He helped make supper, and always put all the toys away before he left. This is a wonderful family and I wish we could share more with all of you. We will miss you and hope Crissy and Makaela will try to keep in touch with us. We will be home in May. Love, Grandpa and Grandma Burns of Elwood
