Dear Kari,Holden, Aaron and Pat Wade: I have many fond memeories of Matt from the day he was born, thru the time of his growing into a wonderfull man.  We met Pat and Ed in Oakland California, in the early 1960's. Ed just out of the Marine Corp. Geting ready to attend college in Oakland. We became very good friends and have maintained this friendship for over 55 years.

     I remember the day Matt was born, it was a great day for Pat and Ed. Ed was so proud of his new born son. Over the years we baby sat Matt while Pat was working at Kaiser Co. in Oakland Ca. Our two families shared many of good times together. We have stayed in contact over these many years, and have enjoyed watching our families mature and have there own families.

    The times we spent camping and fishing with our boys. I have many fond memories of our different times together. When Matt and Kari got married, we were there for them, and so enjoyed their happiness of being together.  I have watched both of the boys grow into such nice young men. They made Matt so proud, how well they did in school and their enjoyment of sports.

    This is a very sad time for the Neuman family, because of the loss of Ed and Matt in such a short time. We know in our hearts that Ed and Matt are watching from above and keeping a eye on their families.

     Your in our thought and prayers, Love you all  Randy
