We first got to know Matt when he came with Lena to help at St. Michael's Church in Sarto for the Fall Supper. He always gave of his spare time to help. Matt was also entertaining with stories and jokes. Never a dull moment. Rest in Peace Matt. Eternal Memory! Vichnaya Pam'yat! - Posted by: Sam, Helen, Corey and Cody Letwinetz (Cousins of Lena (Helen is first cousin with Lena)) on: Mar 28, 2013
