Pam Roper wrote a sympathy message

“So sorry to hear of your loss, I am so glad that Bill was able to reach me. We had a lot of fun when Matt and the family would come back to Oklahoma. I'll never forget Grandmother Holmes and her excitement at traveling to Matt & Karen's wedding. I never drive by OBU that I don't think of Matt's pride in Uncle Ernest's part in building that university. Thanks for the wonderful memories!”
