Missing you always Matt!

Matthew W. Lane

Matt was born on May 31, 1985
and left this earth on February 9, 2003

Missed every day by his Mom, Diana, Dad, Randy, twin Dan and his older brother Andy....... we shall never forget you!

Please slow down,
and think before you drive.
Matt, you are so missed to this very day. Not a day goes by that we do not grieve over the loss of you. We will see you again,

BELIEVE!

Matt died as the result of a senseless decision made by two teens that were drag racing.
He was an innocent victim. Our lives are a gift from God, not to be taken lightly. We must live with our actions. Now our family must live every day without our precious son and brother because of others actions.

I was there.
I sat with you
the vigil through days
and nights, pleading with heaven
that I might take your place.
Heaven did not want me,
but you, my beautiful boy.
I was there.
I held your still hand,
never to clasp mine again,
as it so often did
when you were small…
How is it then,
that I look for you in every crowd?
The breeze blows open my door,
I turn to see if you are there.
Footsteps approaching,
I raise my eyes
expecting to see you,
hands in pockets, all smiles.
Then I remember anew,
that heaven has taken you.
My boy, my boy,
that you could sing to me
just one more song.
That I could hold you
in my arms once again,
if only for a moment.
How is it that I see you
around every corner?
How is it that I hear your voice
upon the evening breeze?
That lovely gossamer thread,
that binds mother and child
together,
That part of me that was you,
the part of you that was me,
Is still tightly woven together my son,
I hear you on the breeze
because you sing still,
out of heaven .
That gossamer thread
will lead me home to you,
wait for me my darling boy.
I love you.
