Matthew's Memorial Service

Bellarmine Chapel
Xavier University
July 16, 2003


Photos lovingly taken without a flash (so as not to disturb
the service) by Matthew's grandfather, John Costa.


We are blessed with friends whose true musical talent
made Matthew's service wonderfully personal and moving.
Grace, who sang beautifully, traveled several hundred miles
to be with us for the service. Eric and Chrissy, our friends and
Cincinnati neighbors, took time from their busy schedules
as professional musicians to perform on the violin and cello.

The participation of these dear friends as musicians, and others as readers, in Matthew's memorial service has been extremely special to us.


Rev. Gene Carmichael, S.J., leads the opening prayer

"Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming"
Grace Scarano, cantor

Eric Bates, violin
Scot Buzza, viola
Christina Coletta, cello
