Matthew Christopher Reimann

Dear Jack, Joan, Marie and family, You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. I wish I could be there, but am so happy that I visited you last year at Theresa’a, and then again recently and spent some time with Matt. Even though he was ill, I caught a glimpse of his humour and personality and I will treasure it. While I visited I read, and learned about how the people in Matt’s life felt about him and I saw the kind of person he was (and still is though in a different place, I believe) and I have no dought of his integrity and excellent character and what a loss to all of us and everyone who would have known him in the future. Joan and Jack I want to commend you on your loving and good care of Matt. Your dedication to the parenting of Matt and Marie is evident in the richness of their personalities and character. My prayer is for the Holy Spirit to surround you all, comfort and guide you. I know He will give you peace in the midst of your grief. Love, Pam Durocher and Family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Bill, Mary, Frances and Paul Dunker

Dear Jack and Joan, I learned of Matthew’s death yesterday and needless to say I felt tremendous sympathy for you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. It seems like only yesterday that I was sharing dinner at your house in Germany with you Marie and Matt. I remember Matt and Marie as fantastic children, the caring love and nurturement by their parents was obvious. I know it is extremely difficult, buy I pray that your heart mends, your memories remain vivid, and that you get some comfort from knowing your friends stand by your side in prayer and sympathy.

Dear Mr.and Mrs Reimann and Marie, I am deeply saddened to hear of Matt’s death.I remember him well as a high school student at SHAPE. He was the kid with an easy smile, manners that he didn’t forget to use and the guy who was always ready to lend a helpful hand to teachers and students alike. His personal success was guaranteed as he utilized the gifts given to him. I can only imagine the type of young adult he became. This is a very difficult period for your family and my thoughts are with you as you face this sad time. I will remember Matt and as I look up into a starlit sky, I will see him as one of those twinking stars smiling down at the rest of us. Sincerely, Prudy Bickel, former guidance counselor at SAHS

Jack, Joan and Marie; Words just cannot begin to express what we feel about Matt’s passing. Working with him in Scouts was always a pleasure. It was amazing watching him develop and mature through his school days in Belgium. Although his time here was short, he blessed everyone who knew him and we are truly grateful to be among those. You are in our thoughts, hearts and prayers during this time of sorrow.
