Cmay ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ): Inspiring you are!!!

Dear Matt,

I recently read an article that was in the paper where I am from (Canton, Ohio).  My heart was so touched by your story I had to reach out to you and tell you that I think you are the strongest man ever!  I cannot even begin to imagne what you and your family have went through and still are on a day to day basis. 

I am a 32 year old as well, and it is hard to me to grasp that life can be taken away so suddenly at such a young age.

One thing that inspired me so much was you still go on and keep your wife's memory alive through your family, friends and exspecially your children.

My husband lost his mother and to this day he cries like it happened yesterday.  There is no closer bound then a mother and there child and I am sure that Cari is smiling down today and everyday knowing that her children are taking care of by not only her husband but by also her best friend.

You are courageous and your story has touched my heart in more ways than you can imagine.  Life is way too short, and being a mother of a 14 year old boy, I know that if anything should ever happen to me, my husband who is also my best friend will be able to make sure he is taken care of the best he can.

You have two of the most beautiful children and one day they will see there mother again face to face.  I believe in God and I am a Christian who knows that he always has a special place for the people he takes.  Even though we see it as being very selfish, he must have needed another angel up thereLaughing 

You are doing a wonderful job and I thank you so very much for touching my soul.  Continue being brave and know that you are a hero to those little precious babies even if you do not know it!

All my best to you and your family & I will continue to keep you and those babies in my prayers!

Lyndsey ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ): Response to Raising Kids Alone

Dear Matt,

 I read your story in the Tribune today, and felt ocmpelled to write you.  I am the daughter of a single father.  My mother passed away in 1986, shortly after I had turned 3 and my brother had turned 6. My father also left his job in order to attend to us, taking a lower-paying position in order to be closer to home.

 Despite losing our mom, my brother and I were raised with so much love. My childhood, despite this tragedy, was absolutely wonderful.  My father, to this day, is still the best man I have ever known.

While I never understood his sacrifices as a child, I do understand them now. Your dedication to your family is admirable and will ensure that they have happy, healthy lives.

 I wish you all the best.

Lyndsey

Dear Matt,

We met at the park today.  It was so nice chatting with you, and meeting little Ellie and Carson.  When I found out that you were Cari Cook's husband, I was just so sad for you.  I really didn't know what to say.  I hope you and your sweet kids are doing okay. 

Sincerely,

Janelle

Dear Matt, Ellie, and Carson,

I was lucky enough to work with Cari when she taught at Hale School.  I have been meaning to write you all summer as I think of her almost every day.  Every time I try to write I just have a hard time coming up with the words.  Then I saw this beautiful site and just wanted to say something, as inadequate as it might be.

Cari was such a warm, funny person.  I smiled every time I saw her at workas she always had a story to share, or just a friendly hello.  She was a great teacher, kind person, and just easy to be around.  I saw her while she was pregnant with Ellie and after Ellie's birth.  Cari was so excited to be a mom and was so proud to share pictures of her beautiful daughter after she arrived.  I'm sure you already know all of this as she was your wife, daughter, sister, friend, and mother.  But I just wanted to say that this is the type of impact she had on colleagues.  I can only imagine how much she is missed by her family. 

As a new mom myself I think of her all the time. You have my deepest sympathy in your loss.  Sincerely,Sarah

To Matt, Ellie, and Carson,

I do not know you, and I never knew Cari.  

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how deeply sorry I am for your loss.  This tragedy has deeply impacted me and I cannot stop thinking about it.  Life is precious and we really don't ever take the time to think about that. 

Take care of those beautiful babies and know that you have complete strangers praying for you.  

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright, I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more, I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive, I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger, I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting, I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess and I wish you enough hello's to get through the final good-bye.

I remember Cari from Gary's wedding. She and Matt stood up. Cari and Matt and Ellie attended Gary's rehearsal dinner too. Ellie was just a baby then and my granddaughter was so excited to help feed her. We all remember Cari and her personality. She seemed like a fun person who always had a good time. I was stunned and shocked when I heard over the radio what happened to her. My heart goes out to Matt and all of Cari's family. Looking at the pictures posted here, it's hard to believe she's gone.
