My sincere condolences. Matthew was a very special boy. That smile lit up the room every time. My favourite memory of him is riding a trike, his smile getting bigger and bigger the faster we went. - Posted by: Carol Kehler (Rehabilitation Centre for Children) on: Apr 19, 2017

I worked with Eilyn (briefly several years ago) and work with Pepere Marcel. I was very saddened to hear of Matthew's passing and my heart goes out to the family. An angel has received his wings and is in a very special place right now, being held in the arms of God. Everytime time you (Matthew's family) find a dime may you know that Matthew is communicating with you and letting you know he is being watched over. - Posted by: Shauna Jacques () on: Feb 23, 2017
