I started a new job at the University of DeVry on April 13th. That same week on Wednesday April 15th Matt’s dad passed away. I was getting ready for work and Matt’s mom called and said that there was something wrong with dad and hung up the phone. Matt hurried and left the house to go to his mom’s and I went to work, since it was my first week. I later received a call when I got to work from my sister in law, Monica, telling me that Manuel wasn’t breathing and that I needed to come to the hospital. So I left work, and drove straight over there. My father in law passed away from a massive heart attack. It has been extremely hard on Matt. Each day has gotten better, but I could never imagine losing my parents. I just wanted to tell everyone thanks for all your support and kindness during this time. I feel so bad for Mama Pat, Matt’s mom, she and Manuel were attached at the hip. Anyways, if anything Manuel’s death only brought us closer as a family.
