Jeanni. It's hard to explain how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Things like this are never easy to say when friends/family lose a loved one. I will always love you deep down and just know that Matthew is in a better place. R.I.P. Matthew.

Dennis & Jeanni, I am so sorry for your loss. I still have the photo of the 3 of you that was PASTED to my locker throughout boot camp & then on to my duty station! Even from miles away we seemed to take care of one other. From the day that Matthew was born he has always had a special place in my heart (& my photo album!) & when we'd run into each other at the store or get to visit, his smile & life always warmed me. Chylise & I carry the memories of the all the times we spent having fun, hanging out, laughing and loving & the times we spent just taking care of each other. Just know that he loved and he is loved so much by us, and so are you. God Bless you, your friends and family. My prayers will be with you.

Dear Sintas Family, I will add Matthew Sintas to my special list. I have worked for the public mainstream for 17 yrs. Matt was a unique young man, who had his own way of dealingwith life. It only took me two times to deal with Matt before he realized that I was here only to help him. In this world we are all passing thru. And some stay long and some have a short stay but in it all be positive and share the love. After all, we will all exit this world someday. I pray that Matt's Family will be kind to each other and that no regrets are pondered. Instead fill your hearts with the good and great timesyou shared with him this has helped me with my lost of my love one. everyday is a new beginning and hold it to be a happy memory.

I can still see Matt sitting upstairs here at West soaked from head to toe. Matthew decided to play in the puddles on the way to school that morning because although he was in the 8th grade he wasn't to cool to still have fun. I will never forget the sound of his little voice. It was so distinct with it's high pitch. My condolences go out to his family. I know Matt is up there doing what he does best and that is being a kid. Rest in Peace Matt.

Gene Sanchez

October 2, 2008

I give my deepest sympathy my prayers are with Matthew's mother and family.

Don't think of him as gone away- his journey's just begun
Life holds so many facets-this earth is only one
Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years
Think how he must be wishing that we could know today
How nothing but our sadness can really pass away
And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched...
For nothing loved is eved lost and he was loved so much!

Matthew, i liked hanging out last summer with you playing xbox in my moms office, remember we laughed so hard when she acted like a robot and kept walking into the wall. If you come back as a kid again look for me and we'll hang out again.

To all of Matthew's family, to his classmates and teachers, and all his friends - my sympathy and sadness go out to all of us in this loss. Matthew was smart, funny, and in the words of David Ferrier, "bodacious." He was challenging and loving. I will always think about him.

Jeanni Sintas

October 1, 2008

Matthew...my son, my sweet spirit... words cannot express how much I love and miss you. I will never forget your laughter, your smile, those big green eyes...

You have your wings now...
Love forever- Mom

Matthew Sintas was one of my friends. I had lots of fun every day he kept trying to rub my head for good luck. I had lots of fun with Matt. Matthew also tried to give me a dead arm everyday, and he kept playing the tag game. I've been with Matt through his good times and his moody times but overall I had a lot of fun. One thing he did everyday was he kept making this funny looking face at everybody when he was happy. Somtimes he didn't have lunch money and I let him borrow one dollar to have lunch and when he got to lunch late I bought him an ice cream bar.
