Sharon and the Daly Family,

 

My heart cries for all of you. The pain of losing a husband, a son, grandson, a brother, an uncle and a friend, is a great one and leaves an empty spot  that will never be filled. May you find your strength in each other as you are comforted by your many happy memories of him. May you find peace in the wisdom of knowing he is enjoying life free from pain. He will forever live in your hearts and your mind for love never dies. He is only a heartbeat away. God bless all of you as you travel this difficult road. Much Love Cyndi Maley

Walt, Jean & Family,

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the death of Matt.  May you find peace and comfort in the 42 years of memories of Matt and in each other.

If I remember correctly, it was the upcoming birth of Matt that made history in an office full of women, when you became the first man to have a baby shower.

Peace & love to you & yours.
