Mt. Auburn Cemetery







































Mat chose to be buried at Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. Kimberly's brother gave a beautiful prayer dedicating Mat's grave. Before the prayer, family members and a few close friends wrote on Mat's wood casket. Now that's cool.

Very cool, indeed. I hope these pictures will bring them happiness in the future - I know it has brought a smile to me.

Glad you got to be there and be a part of the service. Glad you got to be friends with him.
