There are no words that can paint the picture of Matthew Lee’s life. He was a special kind of boy that touched the lives of many. He left an impact on everyone he met with his spirited nature. For those of us who were fortunate enough to know him, he stole our hearts and put a smile on our face everyday. In the four and a half years he was here with us, he had proven all of the doctors wrong. He amazed everyone despite all of his many disabilities and set backs... he lived a happy life.
            Providing Matthew with love everyday was his proud Mom and Dad, Hollie and Rich. Matthew would anticipate his Dad coming home from work just so they could play together. And he spent countless hours cuddling with his Mom watching their favorite movies. Also, Matthews Grandma and Grandpa, Lois and Bob, although their was distance between them, would call or visit whenever they could get the chance. And precious little Matthew would get so excited just to hear their voices on the phone when they weren’t able to stop by. They all devoted themselves to him unconditionally.
             Besides spending time with those he loved most he also immensly enjoyed going places, especially to school to play with his teachers and friends. He loved listening to music and singing along to it, and he would sing his Mom to sleep almost every night.
 People would see Matthew and his family and say he was lucky to have them, but the truth is... we were the ones blessed to have him. We will miss his smile, the twinkle in his eye and his charming personality. We’ll miss him greatly and have no doubt that he left us knowing how much he was appreciated, cherished, and greatly loved... by all.
                Before you all leave today the family of Matthew Lee would like to express to you their deepest gratitude for all of you joining us today to remember and keep in your hearts forever this treasured boy. Don’t depart in sadness but with peaceful mind that Matthew is in a better place now. He is running, jumping and playing amongst other loved ones. He’s laughing and swinging from his own personal jungle gym and doing all the things he was not able to do here with us. And I’m sure that he is looking down now and telling us all to be strong and hold dear to you the good times, that he is okay and that he is just as happy there and he was everyday he was here. Thank you.

Hollie,
Matthew was such a happy boy!  I am glad he is in heaven playing with all the other hydran angels.  He's been busy this week welcoming two new friends, Daniel and Jason and he's probably glad they weren't stinking little girls!  He needed some pals to play trucks with and swing TOO high and climb fences...
May God bless you,
Jeanene

Matthew
you will always be close to us, you were one very special little man
We love you.

I was looking around this site because we recently lost my brother. I happened upon your tribute to your precious son. I am the mother of a little girl with specail needs. I just had to take a moment to tell you how beautiful your little angel is! My heart goes out to you and I will be keeping your family in my prayers. How wonderful a gift you were given for a time. I can tell from the pictures he was treasured and loved greatly. What an amazing smile! There is a specail angel in Heaven now and I bet since he loved to sing God has a specail place in his choir for you angel boy! May God bless you and grant you perfect peace. Angie C.

He may be gone may have left, but he is always with us.  He may not be seen may not be felt, but he is always nearby watching and giving the happiness to gave to those who miss him.  Always here wihtout you knowing it watching over his mother and father like they've done for him when he was still here.  He is sorely missed and always loved and while he is in a better place, doing the things he couldn't do while he was here and waiting to see everyone again and to give them a warm greeting and perhaps even a hug for those he did know. 

For Hollie, I just want to say that while I know that you're always missing him and thinking of him, I'm still here as a friend and I'm always around if you need me.  Keep your head up and your heart filled with light.
