As we get close to the 2nd year of Matt's passing I would like to let the Redding Family know that their son will never be forgotten. I pray that they who have lost so much find comfort in the word of the Lord. God bless you John, Marilyn, Mark and his wife.

HEAVENS GATES
In time of pain, in time of loss
I look to You, I see the Cross,
Your Grace abound, through blood profuse
You gave Your Life, to make me right
In time of loss, in time of pain,
help me Lord, You died so I would gain
There is no loss, though great it be, that
Your love cannot comfort me,
My love one safe, to Eternal Home they be,
because of You, they live in indeed!
I will thank You now, and I will praise You then,
At Heavens Gates, my love does wait,
Grant me this hope, in it I live, each day my
heart assured, my faith intact, though pain
be true, Your love be more, please take my hand
and guide me through, till we all shall be in
Heaven with You, together again at Heaven's Gates!

You do not get "over" a loss, you go through it.
Dedicated to my daughter, who has borne the weight
that makes even the strongest of men's knees bend.
And to all who have suffered such loss, may you find
comfort in the Grace of the Lord.

There is a congregation too numerous to count that stands with joy before the throne of God, giving him praise, and they eagerly await our arrival!So let us hold tight to what the Lord has given us in his Son Jesus and in His time we too will join in with those before His throne! How glorious!

It funny how I stare at the cross and I know everything is ok and there's a reeason why God took you and if he wanted you still here with us on earth you would be here! I love you more than anything and everytime I look at the cross I know that everythings ok...no matter how much I want you here..this is how its suppose to be and one day I/we will all realize the meaning. I love you and always will!!

Holding lightly to the past, pressing onward to the future, and there you will be. You are just over the crest, over the Horizon, and ahead of the pak, typical! Love U Matt,I still think of you everyday and pray for your family.

Some people are unforgettable...even if you will never be able to talk to them or see them again. A person like that is Matt...he will always be in our hearts and thoughts.
Mr. and Mrs Redding raised 2 wonderful young men. God bless
them and the Rocklin Police Dept. Their loss is felt by so many people.

No one even comes close the man you were!! I love you so much and think about you everyday!!

MATTHEW in hebrew means "Gift of the Lord" Certainly no coincidence! What a special gift, his life and death beckon us to look up, toward hope eternal, our hope in our Lord who willingly gave his life for us that justice may be satisfied, that we may receive Gods mercy. We love you Matthew!

Just this last week justice was served and sent to prison! I will never forget the last time I saw you and that big smile you always had!
God speed!

Things will never be the same. Life continues, but you are so missed by everyone. Justice has been served and hopefully in some small way this will help your parents in their never ending grief.
God bless you Matt!

Matt, Just thinking about you here on Easter. As we were refectiong on Christ this morning in church I couldn't help but to think that you have seen the King and how amazing that must have been for you! You are loved and will never be forgotten. Thank you for the great example you lived out here on earth. As well as for the great hope you put in our hearts about the day we will meet again face to face. What a day that will be. Keep shining your light! God bless your family and Jess today.

I know you welcomed Bret into Heaven with wide open arms. Will you show him around a little? It makes me feel better knowing you guys are up there on our side. Katie is only 18. Survivors like Jess inspire her and offer comfort, especially because Jess was so young like Katie is. Thank you for your sacrifice. And thanks for looking over all of us down here

There was a great sense of relief that justice has been served, however we continue our prayers of comfort and love to Matt's parents and brother. The Redding
family raised a wonderful young man who lives in the hearts of the many people that care for him and his family.
God bless the Rocklin Police Department..they have stood by the Redding's, comforting them and helping them through this whole very sad ordeal.
