From Daddy of Earth on August 2, 2022
August 1st, 2005, was one of the best days of my life. Today, August 1st, 2022, you would have been 17 years old. I try to imagine what you would look like, Matthew. Your interests in life. The possibilities of your intelligence. I think you would have been a handsome man, dating super hot girls, and playing sports. Maybe basketball, or baseball. Your potential will never be known.From Mom of Las Vegas, NV on August 1, 2017
Happy Birthday. Love you so much and think of you everyday.From Daddy of United States on August 2, 2013
Happy Birthday Matthew! You are now 8 years old. I'm so proud of you. I bet you are the best Angel God has ever seen. Love you Son, DaddyFrom Daddy of Las Vegas, NV on June 9, 2013
It is with great sorrow that this day is remembered as the day, God called you home. I wonder what you might be like, try to imagine how your voice may sound. Would you have played basketball or would you have decided to play baseball? Emily asks questions about you and looks at pictures of the two of you playing. I think she truely misses you. After a time you begin to realize that control is an illusion. We have no control over anything. Our decisions take us in a direction but the many variables decide the final out come. I miss you my Son. Daddy is proud of you and amazed at how many lives you have touched. A fear of a parent is that people will forget. Daddy will always be proud of you and will love you forever and ever. Love, DaddyFrom Daddy of Las Vegas,NV on February 14, 2012
Happy Valentines Day! I've been thinking about you with bitter sweet memories. I need a basketball partner. You up for a game? Love you always Son!From Reanna of Bend, OR on January 18, 2012
Hi Stinker, I have been thinking about you so much lately. I just wanted to stop by here, see your photos and just take a moment. Love you buddy, wish you were here to hug.From Daddy of USA on November 6, 2011
Dear Matthew, October 31, 2011 Halloween. Halloween was your first holiday after you were born. You may not remember except the pictures you may have seen but you were dressed in a blue monster costume. As a proud Daddy I carried you in my arms while we were trick or treating. I remembered you with bitter sweat memories wondering what you might have dressed up as. Maybe Iron Man or a character from the new Cars movie. You're sister dressed up as Rapunzel. She was so excited! I think of you often. Love you kid, sweet dreams to you. I'll see you in the morning. Love Always, Your, Daddy.From Daddy of USA on August 1, 2011
August 1, 2011 Dear Matthew, Today is your birthday! Happy Birthday kid!! You would have been 6 years old. As I look upon your headstone I have to wonder about all the great things you would have done. Emily will be 4 years old soon. She asks questions about you and looks at your pictures. I so wish I had a video of you so she could see you doing the wonder things you use to do. I Love You Kid!!! Happy Birthday!! DaddyFrom Mommy of Las Vegas on August 1, 2011
Today is your 6th birthday and I miss you immensely. Emily calls you her little brother and Alex and I try to explain that you are her big brother. As she gets older she will understand better. Emily is turning 4 in a month and Alex will be 15 in January. The years seem to be flying by so fast. I know that you are being taken care of by family, friends, and God. Love you.From Daddy of Las Vegas, NV on June 7, 2011
On this day 07June08 between the times of 4:00pm and 5:00pm my son Matthew fell into a swimming pool and drown. This day will forever be that saddest and heart breaking day of my life.From Mommy of Las Vegas on May 3, 2011
As we get packed for our annual family vacation, this year to Hawaii, I find myself missing you soo much more. I won't get to see you run towards me to get away from the wave or look at the crabs that pop up out of the holes in the sand with this wonderful innocent look. This is Emil's first trip and we are going take her everywhere went with you so she can see all the sights. Alex is excited about showing Emily the Koi pond at the Buddhist temple, Polynesian Cultural center, and of course Luau... We will miss you on this trip and be thinking of you always. Love you... Mommy, Alex, and Emily.From Mommy of Las Vegas on March 30, 2011
I miss you! Love, MommyFrom Daddy of United States on December 24, 2010
Dear Matthew, Emily and I talked about it and we got an Angel from the Christmas Tree at the mall. We bought clothes and a baby bear for a 5 year old little boy. We also picked out a Chiristmas Tree ornament for you. This is the hardest holiday kid. I miss you wishing everyday you were here. Well, as you may remember one of the things we use to do it track Santa on the internet. Right now Santa is in San Diego, CA. Almost here to deliver presents to the good little boys and girls. Daddy asked Santa to bring you an airplane. I thought that it would put a smile on your face. Do you remember one of the last times we spoke you had touched a piece of ice. You looked at at me and said Hot!? We talked and I tried to explain that the ice was cold. These are some of the things I miss so much. Love Always, your DaddyFrom Mommy of Las Vegas on December 20, 2010
As Christmas approaches, i am finding this season a bit harder to get through than the previous ones. Emily is excited about seeing Santa and every time shes see Christmas lights she yells "It's Christmas." Alex talks to Emily about when santa is coming and what she wants him to bring. As I listen to them chase each other through the house screaming, I think about how much I would love to hear you screaming with them down the hall... I miss you so much I can't put it into words. I know you are in a good place and watching over your sister and brother. I love you. Merry Christmas!!!!From Daddy of Henderson on October 31, 2010
Dear Matthew, Today is 31Oct2010. I remember your first Halloween. You were dressed up in a blue monster costume. Matthew you were about 12weeks old and not very happy about being in the costume. I carried you around the neighborhood showing you off to all the neighbors. My arms were exhausted but I was so proud of you! And couldn't wait to show you all the things that Daddies teach their little boys. Love you kid! DaddyFrom luena brown of mansfield ohio on August 9, 2010
Dear precious Matthew, your Uncle Tom made me a calendar with you and your family on it,and when I look at your sweet little face, my heart ache's, and it's so hard to understand why you had to leave so soon. My sister lost a son and she got a card that said " My end was so soon to come , I wonder why I even begun", but your short little life filled the biggest spot that no one that has ever lived or will ever live, can fill.There is no one like you , you are greatly loved and missed by all, but I bet Jesus is happy to have you there , tell Him aunt Lu said hi and she will join you all someday. God bless you MatthewFrom Mommy of Las Vegas on August 2, 2010
Yesterday was you 5th birthday and you would be starting kindergarten this year. Alex thinks about you often, and I often picture you here playing with him and Emily. We are all blessed to have you with us. Love you.From Daddy of Some Where is the USA on August 1, 2010
Dear Matthew, Happy Birthday!! Today is your 5th birthday. I'm sure you would be talking up a storm by now. I bought you a birthday present. It is Buzz Lightyear from ToyStore 3 and balloons. One balloon says Happy Birthday of course and the other is SpongeBob. We talk a lot about what is happening these days. Emily is about to turn 3 years old. I think you and your sister Emily would have been the greatest of friends. Just as you did Emily likes to play jokes on me. I miss you kid! There isn't a day that goes past that I don't think about you and wish. Happy Birthday my Son! Love Always, Your Daddy.From GRANDMA & GRANDPA HALL of CAPE CORAL,FL. on August 1, 2010

As we approach the 2nd year since we lost our precious angel, I find myself a little more content with you being our guardian angel. Every time I look at the white fluffy clouds, I picture you jumping around on them free as a bird, laughing and I smile. Alex has a picture of you hanging in front of his computer and smiles when he looks at it. Alex and I both show Emily picture of you so that she will learn who who brother and guardian angel is. We miss you soo much, but we thank God for the time we received with you and for giving us our own special angel. Love MommyFrom Mommy of Las Vegas on March 30, 2010

Happy New Year Son!!!From Daddy and Emily of Las Vegas, NV on December 20, 2008
Dear Matthew, This will be the first Christmas since you were born that you will not be with us. Emily and Daddy decorated a Christmas tree for you with lights and everything and placed it next to you. At night time the tree will light up so you can enjoy the lights. We also found a Santa Claus with a cell phone that we thought you would enjoy and placed it next to your tree. Squeeze Santa’s hand and he will talk on his cell phone. Don’t forget to tell him what you want for Christmas. Emily and Daddy went to the mall and found a Christmas Angle a little boy by the name of Braden who is three years old like you and also likes Sponge Bob. We pick out a toy and clothes Emily and I thought you would like to buy for him and gave the gifts in your name. We think you would have like Braden. I have to tell you Son that this Christmas is very hard for me. I pray to God to take care of you and Emily keeping you safe and teaching you lots of things Daddy wishes he could teach you. Emily looks around the house wondering where you are wanting to play with you. I know she misses you very much. I don’t know if she understands that you are living with God now but some day Emily will know the wonderful brother she had and how much you loved her. I miss you kid, my pal. Emily and I Love You!!! And, want to wish you Merry Christmas!!! I Love you Son!!! Emily says in her own way I Love you Brother!!! Love your, Daddy and Emily.From Mommy of Las Vegas on December 14, 2008
Matthew: It has been so hard for me to accept that you are not with me. I have to believe that you are with god and jumping around on the clouds. I still have a hard time understanding why, but I try to concentrate on seeing you run down the hallway. I can still feel you giving me a hug in the middle of the day just to say "Mommy". You, your brother, and sister are the light at the end of my tunnel. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I put a Christmas tree next to you with your favorite, Cars. Merry Christmas!!! I Love You!! MommyFrom Rachel Thebiay of Bend Oregon on November 22, 2008
I think of you everyday, remembering you smile and laugh. I'm not built to deal with the lose of a loved one. I do think of Matthew everyday aswell as the family.

You are all in my heart, my thoughts and my memories daily! Matthew you are loved and missed!From Brent Hall of Las Vegas, NV on August 26, 2008
Precious Loan God blesses us each with so many things And sometimes that blessing is a child. He chooses a special angel, picked just for you And loans them to you for awhile. From the time they arrive They hold your heart in their hands And add countless precious moments to your life And each night we bow down and ask the good Lord above To protect them and keep them from strife. For this oh so precious gift, God doesn’t ask a large fee. “Just love and care for them, And teach them of Me”. So we do what we can, We work hard and we pray And watch them blossom and grow With each passing day. Not one of us knows how long they’ll be here Or when God will call for his loan, And take that special angel, picked just for you Back to his glorious home. But he made us a promise and I have no doubt, He will carry you through this great sorrow, Because when it’s your time, he’ll be first to greet you And you’ll be blessed with an eternity of tomorrows.From Danielle Nicholson of Las Vegas, NV on August 22, 2008
Although I only met Matthew twice, his smile still warms my soul as if he were right next to me... Brent and Michelle, you are in my thoughts and prayers every single day and I know that Heaven's sweetest angel is watching over you, that adorable grin on his face... May God continue to bless you and your family and give you the strenghth to smile another day...From Reanna of Bend, OR on August 19, 2008
Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath Keep me in your heart for awhile If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for awhile When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun Keep me in your heart for awhile There’s a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done Keep me in your heart for awhile Sometimes when you’re doing simple things around the house Maybe you’ll think of me and smile You know I’m tied to you like the buttons on your blouse Keep me in your heart for awhile…From Grandma&Grandpa Hall of Cape Coral, FL. on August 14, 2008
Matthew, It's been 9 weeks 4 days and we still can't stop looking at your pictures. We just wanted to say this to you; God made all things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all, He made you Grandson,so perfect, He took you to his side and made an Angel of Love. We would like to have our Grandson back but we know he is with the Lord.From Brent Hall of Las Vegas, NV on August 7, 2008
Sunday, August 03, 2008 @ 5:12:42 PMForever In Our Hearts
God looked around His Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon His earth and saw your loving face.
He saw your path was difficult and He closed your weary eye's,
He whispered to your "Peace by Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.
Love You Matthew,
Daddy

Friday, August 1, 2008 @ 7:43 PM Dear Matthew, Today is your birthday and you are 3 years old! I ordered you a cake featuring Cars. I bought you 3 red balloons because I know you like red and 3 balloons for how old you are. And, of course your birthday card. It said Happy Birthday! And, it played the song form Cars. However, it was strange I was very sad when I got home knowing that you were not here to celebrate your birthday. I keep telling myself that the party is to celebrate your life and how wonderful you were. But, all I end up doing is crying wishing you were here. Your head stone was installed the other day. It looks nice. A little precious moment’s boy angle is on the bottom right hand corner sitting on a cloud. The angle looks a lot like you. I put flowers at the side of your head stone hoping that you would see them and know that Daddy loves you very much. My heart is broken and I just don’t know how to fix it. Happy Birthday! I Love you Son. Love Always your Daddy.From Grandma&Grandpa HaLL of Cape Coral, FL. on August 1, 2008

Dearest Matthew ~ Happy Birthday Sweetheart! Today would have been you're big 3 birthday, I wore a red today especially for you! I wish I would have taken more vacations to see you and the family, I regret that a lot. We sure do miss you stinker, Aunt Lori found her key this week, I am sure you had a giggle about that. You left a piece of yourself with everyone you met Matthew; I can’t believe your not here. I know I promised I wouldn’t cry on your special day but I can’t help it. I hope the other Angels sing to you today and let you play extra hard. Love You Cousin ReannaFrom Grandma&Grandpa Hall of Cape Coral, Fla. on July 31, 2008

Dear Matthew, today St. Rose Hospital had a memorial for those people that pasted away at the hospital. Mommy, Emily and Alex are still upset by your accident and so am I. I wanted you to be remembered by family. I went to the memorial with your picture in hand and said a prayer just for you. When it was done, I couldn't stop crying. The Chaplain found me in the hallway where I had stopped and talked to me to trying to get me to calm down. One of the Chaplains was there at the hospital when you were brought into the Emergency Room and asked me how Mommy was doing. After a minute or two, I was calm enough to go home.I miss you Son. I think about you every day. I look at your pictures and wonder what you are doing in Heaven. I think about how smart you were and what you might have become. Maybe a doctor like your God Father or major real estate investor or whatever made you happy. I wish on my broken heart that you were here with me. I remember when I would come home from work how you would run to me yelling Dada, Dada, Dada just about knocking me over with your big hug. I remember playing basketball with you in the back yard and how excited you would get when you made a basket and of course running up and down the street pushing you in your car. But, most of all I remember story nights. I enjoyed reading you stories while you were drinking juice from your sippy cup. I Love you kid. I miss you very much. I wish you were here with me so we could play. Love always, your Daddy.
From Ludmila Nieves- Jimenez of St. Marys Georgia on July 25, 2008
Dear Brent, My heart aches for your loss. It is sad that it takes something of this nature to bring family together...but family at last, that is why we care. What a beautiful child Mathew was. I can only imagine the pain you are going through. I want to reach out and make it better! What a joy the memories must bring...bittersweet when mixed with the longing for more. The good memories of the time you spent with Mathew will bring a smile to your face as that is what he has left you with. Memories you would have never experience had that little bundle of joy not come into your life. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care. Your cousin, MilaFrom Grandma& Grandpa Hall of Cape Coral, Fl. on July 24, 2008
Matthew, Grandma&Grandpa are so sorry, we never had a chance to do things with you. There are no words we can say how much we miss you. Matthew the pain is so great. Your Aunt Laura, Daddy's sister, is there to guide you and help you.Love You, my Grandson.From Nana of Las Vegas, NV on July 22, 2008
Matthew My Angel! My thoughts of you begin my every day & end my every evening. It is only now, as your 3rd birthday approaches, that I find I can put some of my thoughts into words. I so miss hearing you running down the halls hollering "Nana...Nana". I miss pretending to be surprised when I find you hiding in the closets. Above all, I miss you sitting on my lap & give me those delightful bear hugs only you could give! I must believe that your protected & happy or I would not be able to endure the pain of missing you. You will forever hold a special place in my heart until we can be together again! I love you.From Reanna of Bend, OR on July 21, 2008

Dear Matthew, It has been almost a month since you passed away. Momma and Dada miss you very much and wish you were here with us. Our hearts are in so much pain. We just don`t know what to do. Emily wonders where her play buddy went. Alex\'s heart is broken too. He misses the fun the two of you had together. Momma and I have visited your resting place several times to talk to you and bring you flowers and a new baby. We look at your pictures and your toys and remember the fun we had together. Momma and I found some video of you and were delighted to hear your voice and see you do the things you do. Fourth of July was very hard. I set off fire works just for you. I think you would have had a great time watching as the fire works sparkle, pop and whistle. Momma and I wish you were here with us and miss you very much. We hope you are being good in Heaven and play well with the other kids. You be a good boy for Momma and Dada and tell God to read you a story on Thursday nights like we did when you were here with us. I\'s time for me to go now. I\'ll check on you later to make sure you`re ok. Love You! Mamma and DadaFrom Kimberly Daulton of Las Vegas, NV on June 22, 2008
There are no words that can express how I feel. I know one thing for sure ... whenever I need to courage or strength, brave little Matthew will be my inspiration. www.matthewhall.orgFrom Donna, Bobby and Braden Franco of Las Vegas, Nevada on June 22, 2008
Dear Michelle, Brent, Alex and Emily. We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Matthew. I still remember dropping Braden off during breakfast and the two of them acting like they didn't know each other but by the end of the day it was high 5's and bye-bye's all the way to the truck. It was a precious moment I will always remember between two innocent little boys. I am still in shock that Matthew is no longer with us but he certainly won't be forgotten. It was the little things like this that made him special in our eyes. I also want you to know your family played a significant part in Braden's life and if there is anything we can do to help you through these troubling times we are just a phone call away. Thank you again for keeping us in your thoughts, you are certainly in ours. Take care of yourself and your family and try to remain strong. The Franco FamilyFrom Reanna Wright & Kevin Downey of Bend, OR on June 17, 2008
Brent, Michelle, Alex and Emily; Words cannot express how truly sorry we are for your families' loss, Matthew was truly a special little boy, in the brief time he was with us on earth he made a mark on all our hearts, most especially yours, that can never be erased or altered. I know none of us will ever forget his smile, his laugh, the sound of his voice or the way we laughed when he was being silly, he was truly a sweet and unique little boy, I know his sweet smile and his infectious laugh will brighten heaven like it brightened our world! I know nothing can be said to ease the pain of this loss but I hope that in your saddest times you hold on to all your memories of Matthew and to the knowledge that someday you will be with him again. If there is anything we can do please call us, we love you all and you are in our prayers! Love Cousin Reanna and KevinFrom Guy, Nonna & Ryan Russell of Las Vegas, NV on June 14, 2008
You don`t know who we are but, we were a few rooms down from you at St. Rose. Our circumstance is fairly the same (same kind of incident)and the moment we found out that lil Matthew was brought in we started to pray for you both and your sweet, adorable boy. We saw your pain and just want you to know that we are so sorry and wish you wouldn`t be hurting so bad right now. So,we hope you find comfort knowing that Jesus has him in His arms and Matthew is surely making him laugh!

Dear Matthew, My broken heart can not tell you how much I miss you and wish you were here with me. We had very little time together to do those the Fathers and Sons do. I miss eating breakfast and playing basketball, but most of all I miss holding you in my arms. Every night I tell you good night and every morning I tell you good morning but nothing and I talk to you throughout the day but nothing is helping my broken heart. Love always, DaddaFrom Katie of N. Las Vegas, NV on June 12, 2008
Dear Michelle, Brent & Kids, My heart goes out to you and your family. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers to help you get through this time of need. Matthew will always be remembered in the hearts of those that had known him. Love always, KatieFrom Kenya & MacKenzie of Henderson, NV on June 12, 2008
Michelle, Brent and Alex, We are so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express the way we feel. We love you so much, and Matthew will be missed. You and your family are so in my heart right now. I am always here for you. You are in our prayers. "Nature`s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf`s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay."From Misty of Las Vegas, NV on June 12, 2008
My heart aches for the loss of Matthew, and for his big brother, his Mommy and for "his baby" that she will never realize the great love he had for her. I will miss Matthews lightening bolt speed, the fun we had watching Brent chase him down at restaurants, the dogs washing his hair with their kisses and his infectious smiles and laughter. It is true there are no words, just a profound deep emptiness and silence that only God can fill in time. I love you all....Peace be with you.....From Crampton Family of Las Vegas, NV on June 12, 2008
Dana and I are deeply saddened by the loss of your sweet little boy Matthew. We may only be neighbors to your family, but you and your family have always been so kind and generous toward us through the years that we feel like we are good friends. Your encouraging words, warm smiles and kind deeds have always meant the world to us. We wish we could find words that would relieve your pain, but we cannot imagine what they are. Losing a child is one of the saddest life experiences possible, and words of true comfort are difficult to find. Please know that we are thinking of you in your sorrow. We want so much to extend our deepest heartfelt sympathies to your family and all those who loved Matthew. His sweet spirit will now patiently wait for that great day when you will all be reunited together as a family. You will be in our prayers as you continue on, bearing the loss of your beloved little boy. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.Leave a message for the Hall Family.
