   Hi Matt. I’m from Turkiye. I just watched you on Rachel Ray show and I was very touched with your story. Watching you showed me that the worse difficulties in life can be turned in to a big hapinesses for ourselves and we can be a light for other people. You are the one that gave me a light to deal with the diffuculties that I faced in my life more easily now..I believe nothing is without a reason, it was for you to bring out your soul’s magnificent beauty and share with the world, because you have the power to do that…

   Hi Matt, I just watched Rachel Ray show. Ya I know, you will thought why I watched the late show. I’m in Malaysia so the Rachel show will be 1 year later. I was so impressed by your determination and strength that you have after the sudden death of your late wife. I even cried to see you so strong to go thru it alone. I hope that my husband will be as strong as you if I’m no longer around. As for your info, I have 2 kids on my own… Shafiqah Dalylah = 6 yrs old & Mohd Shafiq Danish = 1 yrs old. I’ll myself have a chronic disease & hoping that I’ll be able to give my kids a good time to remember me by..

    Wow. It just hit me how much Maddy looks like Liz. She’s always really looked like a mini Liz but this picture proves it. It has to be a bittersweet reminder tho.

    Hola Matt, Yo soy de Perú y estuve viendo en la television por cable el programa de Rachel Ray y ciertamente las lagrimas se me cayeron de la emocion de ver a un padre tan admirable como tu!.
    Maddy es una niña muy afortunada al tenerte de padre, y tu esposa se fue pero esta tranquila al saber todo lo que haces dia a dia por Maddy.
    Dios no pudo ponerla en mejores manos.
    Te felicito y estaremos en contacto espero.
    Cuidate, sigue disfrutando a tu niña al maximo, sigue ayudando a la gente como hasta ahora con tu fundacón vales oro; en este mundo deberian existir muchos mas ANGELES como TU.
