Matty’s Room
Along with coming to dedicate the memorials, Matty’s mom and brothers also came for the rather sad task of packing up Matty’s room. I spent so many hours in this room talking with Matty. There were of course other times when there might have been a dozen people in this small room. This was truly a special place. I still want to go down the hall and knock on his door when I need someone to talk to. Packing everything up was really difficult. Matty’s room is sort of a shrine to Matty. It really reflects him. Those of you that have been here know this well. We worked on packing from Wednesday evening until this morning. Guys driving back to KC will be taking boxes of Matty’s stuff with them for quite a while. We loaded what we could into Matty’s car so Jason and Richard could drive it home. At about 11:00 this morning, the Matty mobile left Mundelein for the last time. For those of you who haven’t been up to visit, as well as those who have, enjoy the pictures.
