'I think about you everyday . The world would be such a better place if you were here .'

'its that time of year again " our time " We always found some time together at this time of year when the weather cooled down. it is indescribable how much I miss you. Your father'

'You were on my mind today. It is hard to believe it has been so long since you left us. I think of you often..your handsome face, your kind heart, your adventurous spirit. I was just talking to my daughter, Ava, about you the on this past New Year's Eve. We were lighting fireworks and I was missing you, wishing we are all back around a big bonfire at your house celebrating the new year together...just like the night you threw the pack of fireworks in the bonfire without any of us noticing until they starting shooting out of the flames in every direction. :) I wish Ava had a chance to know you. I wish Parker & Emersyn had been able to have grand adventures with their Uncle Matt. I know you would have adored them all and they would have adored you too. I take comfort in knowing you are watching over them. There is still a hole in our world without you in it. I love you.'

'It's fall again son.This was our time of year.It's a painfull time of year for me now.I am still in pain of losing you and my family. 
 Your Father'

'A couple of days ago I walked down to the water?s edge and wrote your name in the sand. I marked it with a cattail I had pulled off its stalk and sat down to view how calm the waters were early in the morning. Two dolphins swam by in salute; holding my breath as long as they did to resurface, I breathe easier knowing nature is a constant reminder you?re still with me. I cannot put any importance on the day you left, I can only see the importance in what you left me.

'Happy Birthday Matthew!!! Not a day goes by that i dont think of you and your family. Miss you always!!!

'Matt, 
 Jessica, Duran, and I spent Spring Break together and it made me well all of us really miss you. Duran misses you so much as do all of us. You were the best and I'll always cherish our friendship. ~katy'

'I was remembering yesterday, your first 
flag football game. I guess you were 
6 or 7yrs old. After the whistle you ran over to where Penny and I sat and 
we kept telling you to go back, go back! You grinned at us and said," we're getting an infinity ", of course we knew what you meant. I remember how you 
smiled at us, then you turned around and ran back.'

'Happy Birthday!! Sorry it took me so long to write you on here but I didn't even know I could write you, other wise I would of been bothering you a long time ago. Mario and I tried our hardest to party the right way for your birthday, and if you ask me im pretty sure we did a good job.: I miss you, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and Jared, everytime I play certain games, songs, movies pretty much everything I do reminds of you considering we did almost everything together. I love you and i'll talk to you soon.'

'I don't even know where to begin. I have come on here several times and still, almost two years later, don't know what to say. You were my everything. First love, Best Friend. How can God take away the two greatest things in a persons life? I fear my questions will never be answered and that this pain will never go away. There are so many things I want to tell you. I talk to you all the time. You talk to me too. It's just not the same as looking into your dark brown eyes and seeing how much you care. I love Matthew. I miss you more than words could ever say. I cannot wait to see you again. Please help me understand why this happened. I am so sorry.'

'Matt,I love you and think about you every day. 
 your father'

'Matt, 
 Today is Jared's 21st. I take comfort in knowing that you will be celebrating with him. I miss you more than ever!

'MATT'

'Matt, 
Yesterday I was really missing you. I went to pick up pictures from Walgreens and when I got them they were under your name. Then I was looking on mom's camera and saw some pictures of Lennox I had taken. I miss him too but I'm glad you have your dog now. The dreaded holidays are coming up and it makes us miss you even more. Please watch over us and make sure we don't go too crazy without you. I love you lil bro! 
-Nat'

'Dear Matt, 
 I just wanted to let you know how much we miss you and Jared, I miss you coming over in the mornings and waking him up for school, in fact if you hadnt come over and dragged him out of bed, he would not have even registered, you were a great friend to him and I know you loved him and he loved you. I did not forget your birthday and I never will, you and my grandson Cody share the same date, I took your mom some flowers because I want her to always know that we care, and you were special to all of us. Natalia and Jessica have become good friends now and zi know you and Jared would be happy about that. I got a little teacup poodle a few months ago to help me with some of the emptiness, I feel since you and Jared left. She died June 8th and I loved her very much, and I wished Jared and you could have seen her because she became quite a girl magnet and you both would have loved that. I miss her very much, she was so sweet but now I know she's up there with you and Jared playing so take care of her until I get there. Love, Hope'

'Matt, 
 It's a few days to your birthday and almost a year since you left me.I am still somewhat in denial about you being gone.You were the biggest part of my life.I anguish every day over not being able to see you and tell you I love you.Yours and your sisters future was my future.I can't explain how hopeless and empty I feel with you gone.I was so proud of you,and I miss you so much.Sometimes I can look up into the sky and can almost see and feel you riding the wind.I'll love you forever Matthew. 
 Your Father 
THANKS FOR THE RAIN'

'Matthew, 
 Today is Jared's Birthday. I hope yall are having fun and staying out of trouble! It seems that I miss you more and more each day. I can't wait for the day that you and I are together again. I love you! 
Your Big Sis, 
Nat'

'The Parker's, 
 It's been a while since your son left this world and I still find it hard to take it all in. I pray for your family with all my heart and not a day passes without the thought of Matt or how all of you are doing. I wanted to thank Mr. and Mrs. Parker for being so kind and understanding to me...and I hope that one day I will see you both again. I am so glad I got to know Matt and I will cherish that always. Your son was an awesome person and he loved you both so much. 
Sincerly, 
Katy'

'thier are so many of us who will never be the same, and those of us who will always long for your presents'

'I feel compelled to write something for Matt's dog Lennox, he has been grieving for his master. 
A most peculiar thing to observe, this grieving, he mopes around the house with me.. both of us with long faces. He's a boxer you see, and their physical characteristics compound the situation. It is uncanny though, I'm starting to resemble him.

'I had a very special son... since he was a toddler you knew and felt his goodness. 
Matt had a very big heart,and empathy for people at a very early age. 
When he was four years old we were at the movie theatre waiting for the movie to begin, when he spotted a gentleman sitting many rows in front of us, the man had palsy, and his face had twisted in such a particular way that he appeared to be saddened. Matt had observed this man for many minutes and then announced,? I?m going to sit with that man because he is sad he has no one to sit with.? 
Throughout his life he viewed people on a deeper level than most. 
He was especially kind to handicap people. Most recently before the end of the school term, I picked him up from school, I had to wait for a person in a wheelchair to cross the parking lot before reaching him. Matt hobbled in the car he was in a foot cast, and I asked if many handicap people attended his college? He said yes, that he always said hello to them and enjoyed speaking with them. He then gave me this fierce look and said, "NOT because I feel sorry for them, but just because I like to speak to them like any other person!" I now wish I knew why he felt so defensive about it.

'It's been one month since you left us' 
Our hearts still filled with grief. 
We miss your smile, your voice, your hugs, 
It seems there's no relief.

'To the family of Matthew Parker I give all my simpathy and my support for this tough time you are going through.I dont have enought words but to say that anyone that was around Matt feels the pain. We are left with his charm and his smile and his good heart. The only thing I could tell you is that Matt was a great guy with a huge heart. We are left with the memory that Matt was a good person. If I had known earlier I would have offered my shoulders to cry on and my ears to hear your hurting heart and offered hugs to calm down the hurt of the loss of your baby, even though it would still hurt the same way just remember that many of us are with you.'

'Matt was a great guy and a good friend to everyone. I know he will be deeply missed by everyone that knew him. He touched the heart of everyone that he knew. I know he is in a better place but he is still going to be missed by all. We miss you Matt!'

'As close friends of the Atteberry family from our years together in Friendswood, we have grieved, prayed and attended services with them, but we have not forgotten that there was another precious child with Jared on Saturday evening; another son with loving parents, sisters and family who are suffering too. Your son's photograph revealed a beautiful and spirited young man. You too are in our prayers and we pray that God will comfort you now and in the difficult days to come.'

'I remember when the first time I met Matt in 3rd grade. I was new to the school and didn't know many people but Matt was one of the first people to befriend me. I knew from then that he would be a great friend. I will always remember his energy for life, and his always have to be doing something attitude. I will also remember the good times I had with Matt whether it be playing sports throughout our lives or acting foolish at his or my house. I will miss Matt greatly, but I will see him again someday. 
All my love goes out to Matt,his family and all of the people who knew and loved Matt.'

'We wish to extend our sincere sympathy to you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.'

'TO THE PARKER FAMILY......I ALWAYS REMEMBER SEEING MATT AT SCHOOL, WALKING AROUND FULL OF LIFE. I TOO KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO LOOSE SOMEONE SO CLOSE.DUE TO A TRAGIC DEATH A FEW YEARS BACK ,I LOST A SISTER . SO I TOO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING. AND I AM VERY SORRY. I HADN'T SEEN MATT SINCE GRADUATION..BUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, HE CAME INTO MY WORK TO EAT. IT WAS GREAT SEEING HIM. THE ONLY ADVICE I HAVE TO GIVE YOU ALL IS...... TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME.....YOU ALL WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS...'

'To the family of Matthew. I did not know your son, we are friends of the Atteberry family, but wanted to send our heart felt condolences to your family, and hope the Lord will carry you through these difficult times, and you are also in our daily prayers 
Our deepest sympathy 
Don and Dixie Davidson 
Friendswood Texas'

'Our deepest condolinces to The Parker Family from Louis Olivan and Family, may he live in your hearts forever.'

'Dear family, my thoughts and prayers have been with you since Saturday. I deeply share your grief because I was there, saw the accident, and began immediately to pray for you. You continue to be in my heart & prayers. As I read the tributes, I am amazed by the number of Christians that were surrounding your son and Jared that day. We were placed there for a purpose. Please draw on our strength as we continue to lift you up to the Lord.'

'Matt, 
 We didn't really know each other, and only had a few classes together. But I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you were taken away from your family and friends at a young age. You will be missed! Rest In Peace!

'I wanted to send my deepest sympathy and love to the entire family. Matthew will always live in our hearts and memories.'

'06-24-03 
Mr.& Mrs. Parker 
My condolence to you and your family. I attend Northwest Vista College and had the pleasure of meeting Matt last fall in my English class. Recently he was the only familiar face I found in my Alegebra class this spring. Matt was truly a unique individual, he was kind, friendly,and caring with such manners. Which is most unusal in a teenager his age. He spoke with the younger classmates as easily as he did with the older classmates such as myself. He once helped me with class notes, you see I am hard of hearing and missed notes for an important test, Matt did not even hesitate to help me. He always smiled and said hello to me in the hallway. Yes, Matt did love to ride his cycle. I mentioned my 16 year old daugther had a red and white honda rebel, his face just lite up when he talked about motorcycles. You could see the pride in his face,as I complimented him on his bike. Your family has been blessed to have had Matt in your life, and I for having known him. God Bless 
you and your family. Mary'

'Matt, 
 I have known you for many years, practically all our lives, and I hope your spirit will travel on for eternity. Ever since you were young you always lived life to the fullest. See you in heaven. -Hayley'

'I didnt know Matthew, but just like Jared, God has placed a special spot in my heart to always remember them and pray for them and your families. When I drove by the accident I just wanted to stop and hold the boy's in my arms and tell them that everything will be alright. Know that there are a lot of people that are praying for your family. I have asked my sisters at Church to pray for both families to give you strength and comfort. I would like to dedicate a song to your family as well as the Atteberry family, by Faith Hill called "There You'll Be".

'To the Charles and Anna Parker family we send our prayers of love and condolences. Matthew will live in the hearts of everyone he knew and touched. God bless Matthew on his journey through eternity and may your family and friends be comforted and find peace, knowing that Matthew is in the hands of God.'

'Dear Matthew, 
You are our grandson, nephew and cousin and we all love you so very much. We want to thank you for all the memories you shared with us and the times that you brightened our day. We watched you grow from an active boy always moving around keeping yourself entertained to growing up into a handsome, strong and determined young man. Matthew, your spirit will always live on because your family will continue to keep you in our hearts. Thank you for all you have given us, we love you.'

'Although it's been a few years since I've seen Matthew, I remember the first day you came to my house with him, he was three. He had a cast on his leg. Thats how I was introduced to this very lively little boy. What a doll! I don't know what to say, except that our hearts go out to all of you. You will be in our prayers. 
 If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to call. 
Penni, and all the Hersruds'

'Parker family, although we did not know Matthew personally, his adventurous spirit can be felt through his memorial pictures. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. May God send all his blessings your way and help you through your tragic loss.'

'I knew matt when we went to Smithson Valley middle school and high school. He was always a very nice person. The last time I had seen im was at Bennigans when the spurs wan the title. He was very happy, and having a great time. I know he is in a beter place. For his parents read The light Beyond or any other Dr. Moody book and it will help you have a better understanding I promise.'

'I know you dont know me but Jared is my cousin. I am so sorry to here about both of them and my thoughts and prayers are with you.'

'As parents of a son ourselves there is no way that we can imagine your sorrow and pain. Our heavenly father knows your 
pain, though, he too gave his son. Times 
such as these are often when we appreciate him most. We hope you turn to 
him for the healing he knows best how to 
give. But, as parents, we feel a portion of your pain. May God bless you 
and keep you through this. Matt is in God's hands, realize you are too. Kathy 
and myself stand ready to do anything we 
can to stand beside you and support you 
and your family. We are there, you only 
need call. In sympathy...Melvin & Kathy'

'I met Matthew at MG while working on a project. He was a very good kid and will be missed. Our condolences to the Parkers.'

'Matt will forever be remembered in my heart and I will never forget the great times that we got spend together. Bennigan's will never be the same. I can't even begin to explain what I am feeling right now as I'm sure no one else can either but what I can say is that he died doing what he loved...riding his bike. He was free on that bike, like no one could touch him. I may never see him again but he will always be with me.'

'CHARLIE, I OFFER YOU MY CONDOLANCE'S AT THIS HARD TIME. I PRAY FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY, ASKING GOD TO GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO DEAL WITH YOUR LOSS. YOUR FRIEND, MIKE BONUGLI'

'There is nothing I can say that will ease your pain. But I want you to know that minutes after the accident both boys were still at the scene. My son's and I who live down the street had to drive by to get home. At that very moment we all three said prayers, my son asked why are you crying? I replied because somewhere there is a mother who will feel great pain & loss today... We all had a little trouble sleeping that night... I told my son's we must pray for them.... The very next morning I felt compelled to return to the scene and lay flowers in their remembrance. Our hearts and prayers are with you...'

'Your family is in our prayers. Ken & Helen'

'I found a penny today 
Just laying on the ground. 
But it's not just a penny, 
this little coin I've found.

'To the family of Matthew Parker , 
Your family will be in our thoughts and in our prayers. We are deeply sorry for your loss, our condolences for your family. 
We did not know Matthew, but we were one of first people at the accident site. My husband and another Doctor rendered aid the moment after the accident. We were just about to buy t-shirts, at the turning light, when the accident occurred. I called 911 and within minutes police and EMS arrived. My children witnessed the accident and have been saying prayers day and night for your family. Many people prayed for Matthew, Jared and their families at the accident, as we did in our Church and home. 
May God bless you and your family, 
Rachel and Juan Martinez RN 
San Antonio, TX'

'With heavy hearts and deepeast sympathy. Our prayers are with you. Bill and Mary Ellen'

'Matt, we have so many wonderful and happy memories together. Thank you for always being there for Zach, and our family. We will miss you dearly, but your loving spirit will never leave our hearts. Brigitte, Cassidy, Zach and Maighdy.'

'Our prayers go out to your family in this time of great loss.'

'Dear Parker Family, 
Please know that our prayers and our hearts go out to you at this time. We didn't know Matt personally but we felt like we did listening to stories from Natalie and Alyssa. Our hearts are filled with sorrow and aching for all of you during this time. The loss of a child/brother is one of the hardest losses you will ever endure. If there is anything we can do for you, even if just to listen, please let us know. You are not alone, we are here for you any time you need us to be.'

'Dear Mr. and Mrs. Parker and Family, 
I had the privilege of knowing Matt as his counselor at Smithson Valley. We would talk football because my son played on the Unicorns. Sometimes he would pop his head in my office door with a beaming smile just to say hello and see how I was doing. 
At the end of his senior year, he came in to thank me for my help. I might have had ten students in my five years at Smithson Valley who did that, but none of them with Matt's smile and cheerfulness. 
I am painfully sorry for your unspeakable loss. Please know that you are in my prayers.

'Dear Parker Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Matt was a wonderful boy. My Matt knows Natalie and Scott played football with Matt, and I had the pleasure of joking with Matt when he teased me for wearing my son's letter jacket. We were deeply sadden to hear about the accident. We know only too well that hurt but knowing that other people care so much about you at a time like this does help a little. If there is anything we can do, just talking or whatever you need, let us know.'

'dear parker family, you are in my thoughts and prayers, may god be with you all.'
