It had been many years since I had seen Greg. I feel for your family in your time of grieving. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you are going through.  I hope you find solace in the all the good memories your friends and family remember and share.  I have many special memories with you and your family and I think of you often.  I remember Greg for his shy quiet way and especially for his kind, all-knowing, bright smile. With great love and respect, Lara.

Praying that God will give you strength and courage in your time of bereavement
I think about you every day and pray god will get you through this.Take care.

Some people make a difference
just by being who they are,
Their inner light shines bright
and touches lives
both near and far,
And even when they're gone,
they still forever play a part
In the smiles,
the priceless moments,
that are treasured in the heart.

In memory and in celebration of Greg who made this world a brighter and better place.

With Warmest Thoughts and Deepest Sympathy

Well done good and Faithful Servant! Rest in Peace.

Lorraine and family, there is no greater loss than a child, it doesn't matter how old they are, what they are or who they are. That is your child. Be proud of what he was. I can not imagine your grief at this moment, but be assured, you will find strength and support in your family and freinds. My condolences to Grandma Helen, Lorraine and the entire Matters and Bachinski Family.

Lorriane so sorry for the lost of your son Greg. May Greg RIP. Many prayers are sent your way.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I went to school with Greg at Blackburn Junior Secondary.  I remember him as a nice guy.  I have the utmost respect for those who serve our Country, he is a true hero.  I was shocked and saddened to read about his passing and only wish the best for his loved ones through such a difficult time.  Rest In Peace Greg.

I find that I am at a loss for words during this tragic and overwhelmingly sad time. I am so sorry that Greg is gone. My thoughts are with everyone; family, friends and community. I will always remember Greg as a smart, sensitive, and caring person. 
With love

Dear Lorraine, Tracey, Trevor and families, 
I am so sorry for your loss.  I taught Greg at Pineview Elementary and always remember him with a smile.  Greg was a smart, quiet, thoughtful and sensitive young boy. Obviously, he grew to be the same kind of man. He often liked to remind me that he knew how old I was, because I had attended school with Mom (Lorraine). I recall the Matters were a typical Pineview family close, caring and supportive of their children.  I would especially like to thank Greg for his service to our country.  We have lost a fine young man.  
I am sorry but I am not able to attend Greg's service as I am out of town this week. 
Lorraine, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. 
Sincerely, Priscilla

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Matters & Bachinski families on a loss incurred so close to that of another family member.
Although I only met Greg once,he made an impression on my son Chris & I. When I lost my Mom in 2010, the kind words from Lorraine & the Bachinski's truly helped.
I hope you all can find peace in knowing what an impact Greg had while serving for our country & loving his family.
