In Memory of Danny Matthews

Died March 31, 2003
Pinellas Juvenile Detention Center
Cause of death: Blow to his head

Three years today since Dannys death, still no one is held accountable !

To My Ishkabibble, Danny Boy
If tears could build a stairway! It would take me but a day.
To send a message up to you. Your coming home today.
I don't know how to live, Without you by my side.
Your simple smile so soft and sweet.
Would brighten all my day. Your laugh was contagious.
It never went away. It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone! Part of us went with you.
One day we will all be home. Please always remember
wherever you may be. In the heavens above us
Never parted from our hearts. God has you in his keeping.

We have you in our hearts!   Mom & Dad

Danny Matthews died March 31, 2003, at the Pinellas Juvenile Detention Center - to this day, no one has been held accountable for his death
