Tributes and on-line resources

|
Some beautiful tribute sites have been established in Matthew's memory. They demonstrate the tremendous feelings of love and compassion that this tragic, senseless murder have aroused in the hearts of caring people all over the world. I could not have imagined, only a few short weeks ago, that the death of someone I never knew could have affected me so deeply.
