This is a note that Kristin wrote to Matt with less than 48 hours to his death. I copy this from the pieces of scrap paper I found in the trash (Kristin always writes a draft first to make sure she gets the final version perfect:). Matt read it as he sat in his usual spot at the dinner table, and he was noticeably moved.

Matt,
I love you with all my heart and want you to know how proud of you I am. Not only for your strength and bravery as you fight cancer, but also for the person that you are today and always have been. I recognized early on what a loving brother and loyal friend you are and it brings me great pleasure to see what an amazing husband and father you have become. We talk about your "army" of supporters and that is no overestimation. You are universally loved and respected by your family and countless friends, colleagues, patients and even acquaintances. The far reach of the "Matt Uday Fan Club" is truly remarkable and is a testament to the person that you are and the impact you have on those around you.
Recent times have been unbelievably tough and I so wish that I could make things easier for you. Please know that your little sis is here for you - I love you, I support you, I am here for you today and always.
Love,
Sprout
