Life is so short and so hard to understand why people we love so much are taken too soon. I pray that god helps you and Marty's family and friends heal your broken hearts.

Alight that never dimmed and brought much love and the laughter to the Flowers family. The way he looked at Amanda was a joy to see. Paulette, Doug and Kevin finally had their family completed. God loves us so much; it is difficult to understand, but one day it will be so clear to all of us who love Him. Treasure every single day and never let anger keep you away from anyone you care about; we just never know who will be chosen. Love you so much, Aunt Chris and Jeff

There will never be another Matty! A one of a kind true friend that could light up a room with laughter! From Charleston to Ssvannah to Tenn and back yard bon fires we all have some great memories!
Amanda I am here for you yesterday, today and everyday after through the good and the bad. I was honored to be the maid of honor for your wedding. It was a day I will never forget nor will anyone else that was there to witness two people that were so perfect for each other join their hearts. You two ARE soul mates. Love you sister!!!
