MATT’S LIFE —by Tom Lyons
Matthew James Lyons
blessing—challenge—inspiration
Our second son Matthew James Lyons lived a full twenty-two years. Both his life and death are of great value to me. In them are sweet memories, devastating traumas, life lessons and deep questions. I hope this platform provides the space to explore, learn from, and cherish Matt’s life for all it is worth. Perhaps this exercise can benefit you as well as you join me in the quest.
