Hi, Just wanted to let you know that you are still in our thoughts and prayers. I hope that time is finding a way to ease some of your pain. May the lord keep you and you family forever in his arms.
I just wanted to let you know that I still think of Matthew. Doing the memory cards and looking at his photos made me feel like I knew him just a little. I hope you are doing OK. Please know that there are many of us here for you if you need us. I lost my best friend from high school last week. I feel cheated, especially since we were not able to connect after finding each other on FB. I like to think that my friend and Matthew are both reaching out across the space to let us know that they are OK too.

OK. I changed the year from 1988 to 1990. The first posted at 1:45 am you can print on 8.5x11 and fold it over - inside won't have any printing.
The next two are the back and front - printed on both sides, cut down the middle - they'll be like cards. Here are the files.

I am in CA. If you see this early in the morning, let me know what changes you may want. I could take the poem off. Enlarge photo. Use different color font. I will be in and out most of the day with work. I'll try to make the changes before tomorrow night.
Don't feel any obligation to use them. Take care.
I made these on MS Publisher. If you know how to use it. I can send you the file. Otherwise, let me know what you would like to change.
Love, BQB.
