I have prayed to God and our Savior Jesus the Christ and haven't come to terms with how heaven is perfect. With the exception of bearing within the presents of the Trinity, I'm still having a hard time understanding how heaven can be, according to Christ, that there is no sorrow or sadness.
I think theologically about the notion that if we are not abel to talk about or joke about what transpired between us on this earth, how can we be happy?
Any thoughts or remembrances about ,"life on earth, include sin. My minds ability to understand this means that is is corruption within heaven with sinful nature and earthly thoughts that take away from the "Praise of the Trinity."
I pray every day and night that God allows us to remember who we were while here on earth and be allowed to talk about "the days we lived here on earth."
God, please enlighten me….

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Matt. I worked with Matt for his entire time at Odd Fellows. I have to say the Matt was a very sweet man. He never got into any Drama trust there was a lot. I will always remember his waffle sandwiches for lunch he had thw best lunches. He will be sadly missed.

This came to me on a email and wanted to share with all.
I am so proud to have known Matt and I am so grateful to have had him as a wonderful friend. He was like a little brother to me for many years and accepted me as his big sister he never had. I watched out for him as a big sister and talked to him from time to time. He was always kind, loving, gentle and had a heart of gold for everyone. He wouldn’t say a mean word or hurt anyone's feelings.
He loved his music which was his entertainment and passion. He could tell you anything about a piece of music, singer or band, year, album and who played on it. He could talk your ear off, but knew his facts, he was a delight to be around and loved his animals and leaves behind his cat Faith.
I met Matt back in 1982 when his older brother, Jon and I were good friends. I met the family and his Mother Carolyn instantly accepted me with open arms into their family. We grew really close and were like my second family, still are very important to me and will always have a very special place in my heart. Matt was always kind and considerate to my feelings as was his mother, Carolyn. He was always willing and happy to take time to talk with me and wanted to know how things were going. Like, I said, before, he was the gentlest person I have ever known and his smile would light up the room as he talked about his love of music.
I remember when they lived in Oakdale, Minnesota and he was wanting to go to the record store and pick up a Moody blues album. I rode along with him and Carolyn. Once had got his album, his face light up and was so excited and happy he talked about it all the way home. It was the highlight of his day and music was so very special to him. He knew so many details about different composers, writers and singers. One group he loved to talk about was The Monkees and was so excited with their new album coming out “Good Times.” We even talked about a week before he passed about them doing another album. He just lit up and you could just feel the energy that came out of him when he talked about music. Music was his life, hobby and passion, but he loved his family not only the same but more.
Matt was a Dear Brother, Nephew, Uncle, Cousin, and to me, his big Sister, also a wonderful friend and co-worker to many. Matt just wanted everyone to get along. He was a hard worker at his job at the nursing home for so many years. He was on time and did what he was supposed to do day after day. He never complained and just took things as life came. He may have worried about things but somehow things would work out. He attended church regularly and the Good Lord watched out for him. Now we question and wonder why he was taken always so early. We need to accept that God has a reason.
I will miss Matt, my little brother, as I am sure all of his family and friends will also. I will always remember his kind and gentleness. He was an incredible brother, Uncle, Nephew, and cousin, but most of all he was a special friend. He was very special and I hope and pray that we will all learn a lesson from him. That life is so very precious and we don’t need to argue with each other, but have peace; be kind, share what we have to offer with one another, smile, laugh, be happy, enjoy one another's company and get along. That is what Matt would have wanted for his Family. I wish Matt peace and will always love him as my little brother and Kind Special Friend. He is in the best of hands now Little Bro with your Father, Grammy, and your loving Mother. One day we will all see you again, but until then your memory of love shown are hugging us all so gently.
Lots of Love and Hugs
Joyce (His big Sister, he never had)
Please share with other family members and friends. My heart goes out to everyone and I wanted to share how special he was to me and so many of us, but cannot find the words right now. God Bless! Love and Hugs!

I have never met you. I want to tank you for your son. He has been my mentor, my teacher, my friend, and a man I emulate. Without you we never would have met when we meet in heaven I will be happy to shake your hand and thank you in person.

Karl, brothers, aunts, nieces, nephews and loved ones of Matthew; May our Lord bless you with His comfort, love and peace at this difficult time of loss. Matthew was a very important part of our church family at Immanuel Lutheran Church. I enjoyed seeing him and talking with him. He was a part of our Sunday Adult Bible Study, too. We were blessed with having him with us. We will miss him, too. It is God's comfort to us knowing that he is with our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven. Cherish all the special memories you have of him always. With Christ's love and friendship, Margaret Murray

Matt was my youngest brother and my heart is broken knowing he was taken so quickly and young from his family that loved him dearly.
Cindy my wife and our sons Douglas and Robert will also miss him and his loving caring manner. He was always looking at the best of the worst problems, he was happy-go-lucky and had a sharp sense of wit. Nobody and I mean nobody, not even Rev. Meyer at St. Michaels, who was also fast thinking pun maker couldn't come up with any zingers after several rounds between the two were exchanged.
I don't know why God took him so early, but his Faith is in Jesus was unshakable and he helped me out when our mother died in 2006.
Only God himself knows how much I miss him and I pray God lets him know how much I'll miss him until I see him again in heaven.
We love you Matt!
