Hi Matt, can't help but think of you daily. I know you have a long road ahead, but just take it a little at a time. One hour, one day at a time. I am proud to live in Norwood where the town has come together for a great cause. It's good to know people can come together to help others out. It's good for people to be able to think of others and not of themselves. Best of luck in your recovery. It has been a pleasure for this town to help you out.
Good Morning Matt,
Hope your night went well! Start of a new week, more steps closer to coming home! Not a minute goes by that you are not thought of, You are everywhere. Keep up the hard work and always know we are with you every step! God Bless you #3.

Hi Matt! My name is Harry. We do not know each other, but I saw your story on Facebook. This must be a really tough time for you. More people than you could ever imagine care about you and love you. Just know that with the prayers, love, and support of people who care about you, you will continue to make great strides to your recovery. You are truly an inspiration to all.
My heart is just breaking for you and your family! As a mother with 5 hockey players in the house I fear something like this everyday! By the looks of your posts you have a great support system through you family and friends. I wish you the best in your recovery and know that I will say an extra prayer for you and your family! :)
Hello Matt~
By now, Hurricane Norwood has arrived in Atlanta, and those boys and their dads are bringing it!! I am sure that,as much as you are loving their visit, the feeling is multiplied for them!! Take from them what you need~they come with the love and wishes of the whole town and then some! We all love you and think about you more than daily!! Keep the faith, and make them laugh down there like you do up here! Take care~
Love,

Matt,
I know you were thrilled to see your boys and they were thrilled to see you. I hear there is some great progress. Keep fighting through the tough times and those tough times will be less and the positives will be more... Everytime we think we have the best looking Matt t-shirt there is another- Drop Kick Murphy's Matt Brown T-shirt is the coolest.
Love you,The Maloofs
Goodnight Matt,

Good morning Matty: Happy St Patrick's Day. Just wanted to send a little note to let you know I am thinking of you and praying for you daily. Hope your recovery is going well and to let you know that the whole town of norwood is cheering for you. It is so nice to see a community come together for someone in need. Stay strong and remember the greater reward at the end. God Bless.
Hey Matt,
I was fortunate enough to be at a Dropkick Murphys show this past weekend and your teammates were selling TShirts with your name/number on the back and the phrase "Support Your Local Hockey Player" St. Patrick's 2010. I was more than happy to buy one and it will become my new gym shirt. When there is nothing left in my tank I will think of you and battle through. Stay strong buddy and keep the faith. You will stay in our thoughts and prayers...
Hi Matt, Hope this St. Patrick’s Day evening finds you in good spirits, please take care and, as the Irish would say, “ . . . may the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, and may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” We love and miss you… Mrs. Alighieri
Matt-
We are all thinking of you (as always). So great to read your latest progress. Happy St. Patrick's Day--more love and luck of the Irish for you Matt. You are an inspiration to so many more people than you could ever know and everyone of them is behind you every day and night. Love the picture of you and your buddies-what a bunch of knuckleheads you all must be together- Keep that strong faith and spirit Matt-

Brownie, So happy you loved your "Messages For Matt" book! BUT... it isn't finished, you will be receiving more pages to add to it, Day SSS will be sending more #3's and I will be updating the photo pages - something to look forward to! I think the line from Jaws where they said "I think we need a bigger boat," is going to be "we need a bigger book" may apply!
We all want you to SEE for your own eyes all the support going on back home, I will be out taking pictures... more to come! So keep up the great work, we are all so very proud of you, every one wearing a pin is asked "how's Matt doing" EVERYONE knows you, and we will continue to support you every step of the way!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Love, Joanne

Hey Matt
My name is Michael Charlebois(Honorary # 4 Puckweiser) a dear friend of Jim Menno who I met 4 years ago at the World Pond Hockey Championships in Plaster Rock N.B.This should give you a chuckle our pond hockey team name is THE RAGGEDY ASS RIVER BOYS and we are aptly name as we have over 200 years of hockey experience between the 4 members of our team.I know you are going through some adversity right now but what I am seeing from reading through the comments posted is that you are a fine young man and one tough cookie (of ourse you are you are a hockey player)so as we say here in the Maritimes "WE LOVE YA AND ARE PRAYING FOR YA" and as we say in the hockey ommunity"KEEP YOUR HEAD UP".Say HI to Jim Menno the next time you see him for me.
MAKE IT A GREAT DAY
PEACE
Michael

I just received the link to your website from your Dad's friend, Charlie Ciovacco.
I am another one of your dad's Colby friends. Your dad and i both played defensive tackle and i had the pleasure of busting his balls when i was his pledge trainer. I also got to do the same to your uncle Steve.
Your website is awesome and it looks like you have a ton of people looking out for you.
Keep fighting and hang in there!

Hello Matt,
I was a wrestling coach a King Philip High School. One of my wrestlers, Donald McNeil, had gone to Virginia with his father to wrestle in a summer tournament. Unfortunately, he was thrown and ended up breaking his neck and could also not move from the neck down. He was lucky that there just happened to be a medical facility that specialized in spinal cord injuries. Eventually they ended up flying him to Spaulding Hospital in Boston. While at Spaulding I can remember seeing him hooked to machines that helped him to stand. It seems like your situation is somewhat similar. After leaving Spaulding (for home), he parents asked if I would mind becoming Donald's personal trainer. The reason I am telling this story is that Donald started getting some movement back, like you, and after speaking with Spaulding Physical therapists I started taking Donald to World's Gym in Foxborough. In the beginning Donald couldn't curl 5 pounds with his wrist, but slowly started regaining strength. It was a lot of hard work, but Donald perservered. After time, Donald started getting much stronger and may have even become stronger than before the accident. He had missed his whole wrestling season but miraculously he had gotten clearance to wrestle of all things. I wasn't sure if I was ok with Donald wrestling again, especially where he hadn't wrestled all year and the team was getting ready for the post season. Not having wrestled a meet all year, Donald proceeded to win the Div 2 Central Sectionals and the following week went on to become the Div 2 State Champion. This was a miracle. Donald had had pieces of cadaver fused into his neck and metal braces. I'm not sure of the extent of your injury, but I've typed this to inspire you to keep up the fight as Donald did and there's no telling where it might lead. Walter Laskey
Sorry for the typos
Matt, you are still a hottie

Brownie,
You looked great at the game last night . You got to see a great game too.It must have been fun for you to finally get outside. We hear that your progress has been much better. You really looked much better in these recent pictures. We hear that you won't be coming home as soon as we thought because of your improvement. We miss you, but if it means they have more work to do at Shephards that's a good thing. We keep praying everyday.
The Maloofs
keep it up dude i saw the thing bout u on the news the first day it aired
Matt,
This message is from Chicago. You've reached all the way here! I just finished looking over your website and you have the admiration and support of many, many people. This fact is as healing as the doctors and therapies that your receiving daily. In fact, it might even be better. You see, I was injured 39 years ago in an auto accident and thru the strength of my family, friends and support groups it made a difficult situation somewhat easier. You are now in the biggest game of your life and if your treat every day like a championship game you'll come out the winner! Good Luck to you and if I can be of any help. I'm as close as an e-mail! tecnell@sbcglobal.net

Hey Matt,
I want to say Congratulations! I think that you officially have reached Celebrity Status.
For the last 2 days You have been the talk of the construction jobsite that I am working at in Cambridge.
The story of your visit by Patrice Bergeron has been on every TV channel and newspaper in Massachusetts and you were the talk of the Bruins game on NESN by all of their on air personalities before, during and after the game,
It was great to hear Claude Julien sincerely mention your name in his post game comments.
We were so excited to see a glimpse of You on TV with your Bruins Blanket in the crowd watching the game.
You Are Looking Good !!
Hope your night went well.
Keep up the Good Work, Keep the Faith and Believe!!

God Bless you and your family!
The Piacentini Family
Dear Matt, Heard about your situation through prayer requests from my FB cousins in MA. I live in Columbus GA and was thrilled to hear that they moved you to the Shephard spine center. It is a great rehab facility and with God's help many miracles leave that place!! Every situation is uniquely different but so many seriously injured folks make tremendous progress. Nothing is impossible with God!! My brother John Rota (Easton MA) just organized a charity hockey game between Oliver Ames HS and MA State Police and part of the proceeds will go to your fund. Senator Scott Brown showed up and so did Joey Kramer from Aerosmith!I will continue to pray for you and your family. As hard as it may seem at times something good will come out of this...just watch God move.
Goodnight Matt,
Hope you sleep well tonight! Keep up the great work, we are so proud of you! God Bless you #3!

We would rather see you in NORWOOD!
Back home we have a mantra for you Matt Brown, it's a song...
Everyone is singing it and it is..
STAY STRONG!!!
Hi Matt,
It was great to hear a hello from you the other day ( from Hayley) How cool was being in a movie!!!! I would love to hear about the behind the scenes workings. I know the girls are really happy you will be coming home soon - That is great news about weaning off the vent and GTube you are getting stronger by the day!!! We are all so impressed with how you have handled such adversity.
say hello to your family
Fondly,

Hi Matt - I have not posted in awhile but do not think I have not prayed for you! You are always in our prayers and will continue to be in our prayers. My daughter is going into Children's for a complete spinal fusion of her entire back on May 10th - she is nervous so I told her to go to this page and get updated on your progress - - you inspired her alot!
Stay Strong#3,

Hey there Matt,
Lisa from the Prescott neighborhood dropping you a note. The entire Town is in a frenzy right now!! You can't go any where without seeing a #3 - in a house window, on a front lawn, on a t-shirt, on a hat...you can't go any where without hearing about you - at the Little League Opening Day, on the t.v. news announcing the Gala Event, at a 5-year old's birthday party mom's talking about your progress. This is BIG!! This shows how much love is coming right at YOU!!
Good Morning Matt,
Hope your night went well, We are so Proud of you and all your great accomplishments. We are all looking forward to your Gala tonight! So many are with you every step of this Journey!
Go Matt Brown #3!!!!!
Love,
The Piacentini Family

Hey there Matt!
Lisa from the Prescott neighborhood writing to you at 7:00 am the day after your Gala event. I can't wait for you to hear from friends and family about how big and awesome it was!! The entire Town was there (yes, the ENTIRE Town). It was amazing! The smiles and all the love last night were for you and your family!
Well, gotta get the boys ready for soccer this morning (my son chose #3 for his soccer shirt, "just like Matt Brown!" he yelled with excitement). I can't wait to see how many #3's show up around town today (so many people were buying #3 hats, shirts, and buttons last night!!)
Stay strong and see you in the 'hood next week!!
Hi Matt, like many - you don't know me but I wanted to say keep smilin and keep workin hard. I was at the gala last night and just wanted to say you have a fantastic family! I know your uncle Steve (Bub) and your cousins. Your mom gave a terrific talk to us all. And your grandfather was there and on a film. I know you will hear about it all. Your family is so strong and impressive - its easy to see where you get it from. So I know you've got it in you to keep strong. Hearing about you from so many, I know you would of liked seeing all the cool stuff at the auction. I got a pic with Mr. Raymond Bourque. It was like waiting in line for Santa. Hope you can watch some of the B's today. Good Luck. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Hey there Matt!
Lisa from the Prescott neighborhood just wanting to say, "Welcome home!!" Can't wait to see you in the 'hood.
Hey Matt! Just wanted to say that your story has touched the hearts and minds of many in our community of Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada. Being from a community where hockey is the number one sport, I couldn't help but to comment on how much of an inspiration you are to many young hockey players, not only in your country, but in ours as well. I heard your story on one of the American news channels, and was compelled to check out your website! Keep up the good work kiddo...you've touched the hearts, minds, and most powerfully, prayers, of many people around the globe! With the power of prayer (and the power of your determination), you WILL make a full recovery! Cheers!
Love: The community of Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada

Hey there Matt!
Lisa from the Prescott neighborhood checking in again! Wanted to tell you the funny mix up that happened with my 5-year old son. He heard so much about Scott Brown being elected Senator around the same time as your accident, he once asked if I voted for Matt Brown!! I told him that I vote for him every day!!
Take care!
See you around the 'hood!
I'm a late comer in posting a comment Matty, but it only shows that we are still thinking about you. I don't know if you saw comments on Boston.com, but I put my favorite saying out there for you. I wrote it when I was you age, back in New Hampshire:
The future isn't where my life is; it's in the moments I'm in.
I would love to know what you think about those words.
Best to you Matty, every day.
Wayne S.
Hi Matt..think of you daily. God Bless You.

Matt, You are holding a pretty high position on my prayer list and it is so great to hear of the progress you are making. Miracles are all around us. I have had one in my life and I do not think they are so uncommon that you can't have one too. GO FOR IT!
Hi Matt,
We want to Thank you and your beautiful family for having us over yesterday. It was so great to finally meet you, you inspire us every minute of everyday. You are the most incredible person we have ever met. You welcomed us with so much love, THANK YOU!
Forever Friends!

Hi Matt, I heard Sunday was an awesome day for you with the Ride and a little get together at your home! I am so happy you got to meet my sister, Lauren, Tony & Tyler. They are wonderful people just like your family! Lauren said you are doing great & have a heart of gold!
You continue to be in our prayers and as my daughter recovers from her spine surgery, your shirt is hanging in our living room to inspire her on those long & painful nights & on more than 1 occassion, I've told her to focus on your shirt to get thru a painful period & guess what, it helps...YOU INSPIRE US!
STAY STRONG!
Love, Cheryl, Al and Julianne Dwyer

Matt, people say that God helps those that help themselves but as a person who has seen miracles first hand, I can truly say that my God helps those who help others!
You are helping so many! I'm a mother and grandmother in South Florida and I think your story is very inspiring! You are so very positive and thankful for all you've been given!
Keep up the good work and keep giving because you cannot out give our God. Love, Shara Hernandez
