Dear Dematteo Family: I am so sorry for your loss!!! "A" was such a kind soul. When I came to Hixson at 15 yrs old from California, he and his friends were so welcoming to me even though I was from the crazy western state & even worse I was born in the north. I will never forget the killer times we all had together!! Cheers to you A & see you another day! Give Mike & Heather a big hug for me. Sending love & light to you all! Jenn Leinss

Dear Dematteo family, I am sorry for your loss. Adrian was a very nice man. I had the plessure of knowing A back in chatt when we all jetskied at the lake together.
