Matthew…… When I heard the news of your passing I was absolutely floored. In the lifetime I had known you, we had such fun times - happy memories were made. The last few years have been more than challenging to you…… so much so, you have left a place where you were absolutely loved, admired and cherished by everyone you encountered. I will always miss you - Rest in Peace - Forever your friend - Caroline x x x By the way, I did have the better singing voice out of the two of us - you would never admit it though!!

Dear Matt. I hope you are at peace now. I know life presented many challenges for you but your departure leaves many questions. When I saw you last year for dinner in Bury I had no idea it would be the final time. I read news of your death with disbelief and wish things had been different. You’ll be remembered. R/J
