Matthew Ryan Richards, November 25, 1983

I'm 25 Now

God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be...

So he put His arms around him, and whispered, "Come with Me"...

With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, and saw him fade away...

Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay...

His heart stopped beating, he took his last breath...

We kissed his cheek... God then took our son to Heaven...

We will never forget the day he left us, but we rejoice more the day...

Our son was born... So... Happy 25th Birthday to our darling son Matt...

And I ask all to say a prayer and tell him Happy Birthday too...

Always in our hearts, never gone from our memory... to just wrap our arms around you just one more time and give you the biggest hug a small boy could ever get...

That is our Birthday Wish for you...

Travelin' Matt... always by my side...

Butterfly Kisses and Hunny Bunny Hugs, love always...
