Matthew is my 3rd born child, and 3rd born son. His wife says she’s never seen anyone so much like BOTH parents!
We had a miscarriage between Andrew and Matthew, so when he was born, we named him Matthew because it means “Gift of God”. And that he is!
A defining moment in Matt’s life was when his best friend, Mark, was killed by being hit by a car. He learned the importance of parting from people you love with kind words, and it has made him very careful to never let partings be anything but pleasant, even if you’re still miffed at each other.
Matt’s very gifted at using his hands, much like his Grandfather Bennett. He inherited a wall plaque that says “Benny’s Place”. Any time he blogs about home projects, he puts up the “Benny’s Place” picture. When Daryl first had cancer, he did a lot of the home upkeep for us, using those talents and skills, and developing some along the way that he still uses!
Matt loves his family. He loves the family-together evenings.
Matt is a good husband who loves his wife, Amy. (Okay, that’s an easy one. She’s easy to love!) He’s a hard worker.
Matt loves the Lord, and is now doing a teacher-training class to learn to teach well. He has a deep respect for the Word of God. He’s taught little children for years, through Awana and Sunday School.
Love you, Matt!

Matthew is definitely a special young man! His heart has always been in the right place! 8-)
Yeah, it really has. Amy is a good match for him...encourages his tender heart, and benefits from it! :-)
