Matt sat next to me my first day of school at Waverly in 2nd grade, he made me feel welcome in what was a new school for me as a 7 year old. I will always remember that day. We rode the same bus to and from school for many years. Lots of good memories throughout our years at Waverly. He was a loyal person and always kind. Im sorry for your loss.
