ghosts or

I feel bad about this

if we just found out more just happened

that's all

you know

how it's been asking for you

[Applause]

foreign

I told him about a fish

in that Lake

you went to catch it

it weren't your fault no

me and my wife know that

Matthew had a good time knowing you

God

and uh

missing his daddy a lot

a lot lately

you gave him something he didn't have

man

that like is cursed

first Arch wheeler down alone up there

and Boyd Chapman lies on hand now

Matthew Reynolds to help this little

lamb

if it ripped me

we'd blow up that Lake

if you blow up to that Lake you might as

well blow up the mountain

somebody freezes or falls off that

mountain every year

and after you blow up the mountain you

best go ahead and blow up the roads and

the railroads too

well then I'm thinking it might help

power it if we tidy up the yard a little

bit about to be a lot of people coming

by when they're here by Matthew

I'll do it

now I'm washing wax's car

he's going to want to clean for the

funeral

[Music]

I don't love that boy pretty much their

life

yes he was

to Earth ashes to ashes dust to dust

blessed are the Dead who die in the Lord

yes says the spirit they will rest from

the labors for their deeds follow them

gracious God we thank thee for those we

love but see no more

receive into thy arms your servant

Matthew

and Grant that increasing in knowledge

and love of you it may go from strength

to strength and service to your heavenly

Kingdom through Jesus Christ Our Lord

amen amen

have you been able to reach your son yet

I know he don't know yet

let the message for him to call us but

who knows when he'll get that

will

we're going to put off the fishing

no
