Mathew James Donalds *
One in a million, ace lad. Always up for a laugh. Massive loss!
I'll never forget the good times, mate. Always funny when you were out, always making the most pathetic and boring things funny. I miss going out and just randomly laughing at anything that we saw. You were one of my best friends and you will always be remembered in our hearts. No matter what anybody says you are dearly missed and always will be. I will never ever forget you mate.
I was just before you on all the registers so we always sat together at school. I still stare at an empty seat in a classroom, and think to myself...Wheres Matt? It's not right for you not to be here, you were so lively and always there for everybody! I really wish it could have been me instead of you, you are so dearly missed. You were a very popular, well known lad. Everybody knew who you were and everybody still says... Matt Donalds, I knew him! and I'm so lucky to have been one of you're close mates. Forever missing you mate.
Mathew (Matt, Matty) left behind mum Julie(43) dad Derek(47) and step dad Paul(41) and step mum Lindsay(35), 2 sisters Laura(11) Kayley(19)and 1 step brother Adam(15). He will never be forgotten.
He was in year 9 at school.
He had a very rare aneurysm.
He passed away, very unexpectedly.
Never forgotten, Matty.
A CHILD LOANED
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, til I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand'.

So so sorry to read about Matt. What a tragic loss to all who loved and knew him. My son Marc, died aged 16 from meningitis and an aneurysm. When a loved one is taken away so suddenly and unexpectedly and so tragically, it's so hard to bear. Rest in peace, Matt, and have fun with all the other beautiful young angels. RIP. Nicola x
