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.
It is a cool thing to do. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. Your pictures of him and his family are amazing. What a great treasure for them to have.
Great pictures Ellen, you always know how to capture the moment. All Evan and I can say is "Wow", this is a sad year for our ward that we loved so dearly!
