Condolence: Penny and Ted,

I am so sorry for your great loss. It's not fair when children leave before their parents. My prayers are with you both and Matthew's family.

Condolence: My heart sank a couple of days ago when I got the phone call from my sister who was in hysterics. Matthew was, for a very long time, part of the Herbold family. He had a connection with everyone of us. In reality....he always has been part of our family. We kept in contact over the years...especially my sister and him. I feel as though I have lost a brother. I will always remember Matt for his humor...he was always making us laugh! He had such a beautiful smile. My heart breaks for him, Jason and Mr. and Mrs. Moore. For his children...for everyone who's lives he's touched. I will miss him terribly. I love you Matt...

"M R ducks,
M R not ducks!
C D E D B D wings???
O! M R ducks!"
and then there was a little rhyme you taught me about a little birdie on a window sill but it wasn't very appropriate. ;-) You always treated me like your favorite little sister. And I know that if my parents were still alive, their hearts would be broken as well. So please, when you see them and after my Mother slaps you across the face and then hugs you tight....give them both a hug for me. I will never forget you. Until we see each other again.... from all the Herbold's...we love you Matthew.

Condolence: Even though it has been years and years since I've seen all of you... We all had Alot of fun times and good memories growing up on gansevoort road... You are all in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time..

Condolence: Rest in peace Matt. My thoughts are with you Ted,Penny and the rest of the family.

Condolence: My sincerest condolences to all of Matt's family. Matt was a big part of what made us a tight knit class. He was fun, funny, respectful, and protective. Aaron, I am so sorry you didn't get to see that side of him. There is no doubt in my mind that your dad loved you with all of his heart, as he did the rest of his family and friends. Sometimes depression gets so bad that it deprives us of all logic. Rest in peace Matthew. You'll always be a part of me.

Condolence: I met Matt for the first time playing little league back in june of 1985 . he was always making everyone laugh . He would always find it a point to make a joke and get everyone laughing . I met him for the first time again since high school in 2009 and he acted like we never missed a beat . He is not just a friend but a brother . Semper fi Matt . My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and his children . Until we met again my brother and the first round is on me .

Condolence: My heart goes out to Matt's family at this difficult time. Words, however kind, can’t mend your heartache, but those who care for Matt share in your grief and wish you comfort and peace of mind during this most difficult time.

After high school I didn't see very much of Matt, but whenever I did, he always said hello and would strike up a conversation.

Until we meet again...Rest Easy Matt

Condolence: i met Matt so many years ago. I'll never forget the talks and laughs we had. Always there when anyone needed him. So many words but nothing can express how I felt about Matt. Although we lost touch for a time when we met up it was like nothing changed. A true friend. My sincerest condolences to Ted, Penny, and Jason. This is not Goodbye Matt, just see you later. Watch over us dear friend. With love always.

Condolence: Dad,
Words dont even begin to describe the thoughts in my head. Scared, confused, angry, depressed, sad... They all mean nothing. I don't and now I won't ever know why you were always so angry and anxious or what made you like that to begin with. I wished everyday that you would find it in yourself to be a man and get the help you needed, but you didnt. If what mom says was true, then me and casey alone should have been enough for you to say "someone, anyone, please help" but we must not have been good enough for you. I dont think i have ever cried more over a family member over the course of 20 years on this planet. Now, Me, Casey, Teddy, and Madden have to somehow find it in ourselves to carry on knowing our father will never see us again and vice versa. As much as I hated what you did and how you acted, you were my father and I will love you until the end of my time. I hope you get the good night's sleep you havn't seen in so many years now.
-Your firstborn son
