Matt you do have such a whole being. All of your body, senses, emotions and being in relationships with so many keep you living in so many ways. Peace, love and grace from God be with you. Karen Fedorchak

Hi Mr. Briggs, I have been reading your blog and I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I’m thinking about you!
- Kate

Matt,
As always I love seeing and hearing from you whenever we have group. I’m grateful for your insight and appreciate reading your posts as well. I love these pictures too as they show your spirit and love of life. I also feel it’s important to note we are Christmas PJ twins ❤️

Thinking of you and Victoria every day. And praying for you all as well.

I’m so thankful I get to experience and learn from you.

Matt, it's been so long since we've talked, but I am thinking about you and Victoria. I've been reading your updates and I'm sending all my love to you both. We had some great times years ago at Umass. You guys are both amazing people and your strength through all of this is inspiring. <3

Matt, your wisdom, bravery, and commitment to tears AND laughter are both touching and inspiring. Please know that I'm sending far-away wishes for abundant peace, joy, and ease on your journey. Your improv friend, Pam Victor

Matt - St. Andrew's and I are walking with you and family in prayer and with faith, hope, and love. If it's okay with you, I will also do my best to honor your dad while also teasing him unmercifully when warranted. You made a great choice in choosing Paul as your father.

Matt - I do not know if you even remember me. Cris and I became members of St. Mark’s in 1999. ( You might remember that your father invited our daughter, Jennifer, to offer a liturgical dance once or twice at St. Mark's.) So you and I never developed a relationship. But ever since I learned of what you were dealing with, I’ve kept track of your posts via Caring Bridge. Each of your posts inspire me. They offer such a mature explanation of the journey you are on. I give thanks for the way you inspire us through your posts. Cris and I hold you in prayer each and every day. And I know that many others at St. Mark’s are also praying for you. I pray that our prayers, along with those of all of the rest of your friends, help to uphold you.

Matt - You are always in my thoughts and, as always, I am so awed by your perspective on life and death. Namaste, my friend.

Matt and Victoria: Sharing this journey with you through your blog and reflections is a blessing. Thank you for sharing with all of us, and know that prayers and love are overflowing.

Matt, you are so wise and so eloquent in your writing. Thank you for sharing. Jim and I share the tears and the hope for you. ♥️ You are loved and our hearts are with you.
