"John and Matty. You don't hear one name without the other. Always side by side. Even in large groups, you could find them next to each other. Johnny admired Matty and relied on him for everything. And Matty was always there. The best of friends and the biggest fans of each other, despite having completely opposite personalities. Everyone wanted to be near them, including me. I would sit and watch John sincerely enjoy the time he spent with his brother.
Matty, thank you for loving our babies as your own and for being an extraordinary uncle and godfather. I can't wait to return this honor when I become Tripp's aunt. I don't think John could live a day without you, so I'm comforted knowing that you're, of course, together in heaven.
Please continue to take care of John as you always have. I'll take care of Madeline and Tripp. We love you very much." - Meredith Gaudreau
