Some terrible personal news

Matt - if you see this I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I just married my best friend in December and I'd be so lost without her. I can't imagine how you're feeling. I don't know what else to say besides that I'm sending you love and support from across the net. Stay strong my friend, your blog has powered many of my adventures into SEO and beyond.

I’m so sorry. She sounds like a wonderful person and a blessing to everyone who knew her.

I'm so sorry for this loss. Matt spoke at UNC my freshman year, and his talk confirmed my itch to pursue computer science as a career.

So Matt, thanks for the influence you've had on my life, and I owe thanks to Cindy, too.

Why is this on HN?

I am a 31 year old man, drinking in a bar, alone, weeping as I read this story. My heart goes out to you and your family. I’m so sorry.
