To the family of Matthew Reece ~ I have never met your son but I feel like I know him well. My new son-in-law, a member of the 82nd, was a good friend. When Ben married my daugther in August there was a place of honor for Matthew, his framed picture sitting on the table for all to see. The judge who officiated at the ceremony told those at the wedding about Matthew, and Debo and Lane and just what they meant to Ben. Please know gentlemen, you are not forgotten. Thanks for sharing the moment ~ Forever and always!

Your sacrifice will remain in our hearts for a lifetime, with intense gratitude. May God bless you and your family. Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms.
We cherish too, the Poppy red That grows on fields where valor led, It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heros never dies.

His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away-- his journey's just begun life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost-- and he was loved so much. rejoice in The Good Lords Loving Arms. Stand down, you mission is complete. RIP. God Bless and may His Loving Grace comfort those left behind. You will never be forgotton, thank you.
