From Katie:
Matthew always loved my pets. I had a dog, cat, lizard, and two fish tanks in 2020. He learned the names of my fish and always asked me about how they were doing.
One of my fish, a pleco named Persephone, passed away. Matt had the idea we should hold a funeral for her, before flushing her down the toilet. We sat around the toilet and he asked if anyone would like to say any words about her.
I was unsure what to say.
Matt said “Okay I’ll go”.
He paused. Then he said, “She was a good fish”.
I completely crumbled and cried in Matt’s arms.
Looking back, it seems ridiculous. But Matt was the best friend.
