The day after you died I was sitting on the porch. The sun was out and the birds were singing, I was looking around I saw you playing ball and fetch the stick with the dogs. I looked to the fire pit that you helped me dig. I saw the grass that you would cut and the white vinyl fence that you were washing and I came over and together we cleaned. There was the leaves you raked up for me. In the drive way was your truck you bought next to Art'struck that you were working on for him the night you passed. I saw a lot of the flowers in the yard you helped me with and I know every spring when this time comes I will thank you for all the pretty blooms cause you sent them from heaven. As I walk in the house there you are again taking the trash out, insulating the attic, cooking, washing your own cloths, keeping business paperwork, material lists, emails "Computer Stuff" for Art and I cause we both don't know how and in your spare time you worked on learning all you could on the internet about plumbing. The job you were so proud of. You had learned more than me who had worked on it for 17 years. You and Art working together. He was your mentor and loved you as a son. I know you knew this. I could go on and on and I realized you helped us with everything. We could not have asked for more of a son than you were. I didn't see how hard you were trying to fix your problem. I'm sorry I didn't tell you more. I'm proud of you Matt and proud to be your mother. Art and I will forever hold you in our hearts. I will always think of you my baby Matthew. Blonde hair, blue eyes, smart, talented child that grew up into this young man that was taken so soon

Travel well Matt

I miss you, Art misses you, we all miss you

Love Mom and Art

Memories of the shy little blonde haired boy who played in the sand box out back with his cars and trucks to the gentle, quiet young man who helped pop with jobs pop could no longer do himself. As I close my eyes I can see Matt looking at us with a smile that only he could give. It wasn't a full grin showing lots of teeth but a smile that put a sparkle in his beautiful blue eyes. I will miss the welcome He would give me on my weekly Sunday visits.The warm hug and kiss along with the question. "How are you doing mom mom and how is Pop? Our conversations of his work week with Art and talks of tools and locations of different jobs they were working on. We will forever hold his memory in our hearts and look forward to the day when we will meet again.

Your loving grandparents Darlene and Bob Kruemmel
