Congratulations, Matthew!

You have filled our lives with joy, excitement, happiness
and wonder. The strength of our love for you is mirrored in
the wonderful man you have become...We are all so proud
of you!
Once, long ago, you were our baby. Dan, Tim, Mom and
Dad used to vie for who would piay with you, laugh with
you, and care for you. Sometimes, it’s amazing to us that
you are no longer that little kid with the bright smile and
boundless enthusiasm.
Because then, all of a sudden, you grew up! You set
goals and exceeded them...in water skiing, you were at the
top of the sport in the entire country. In wrestling, you
gave your all. In every situation, you demanded and
delivered your best.
Matthew, you have such strength, such potential...you
are strong in spirit, wisdom, integrity, curiosity and self-
assurance.
God blessed us with you, Matthew...as you enter this
next phase of your life, we hope He will give you as much
joy as you have given us.
Heart, mind, and spirit, we love you always,
Mom and Dad

I.--
