Adopted KC
Joplin, Missouri
KC aka Cody Ray Cravens was a tiny, little red head with quite a few issues. He caused a lot of trouble but he also was very special. People always said that he looked more like our natural born child than Darlene did. Matthew saw him at a child fair, where prospective parents could go and meet many children who write-up for adoption and waiting for FOREVER homes. Matt wanted to take him home that day.
We were KC's tenth placement. -

Died
Licking, Missouri
Matt passed away this morning in his sleep. He was at home like he wanted to be. He had come home with hospice, late on the 21st. We had moved everything around in the living room to put his bed in there. He wanted me near him, so I slept on the couch. Mary was living with us at the time and she came out to check on him, in the morning, and he was already going into rigor. We called 911 and everyone came.
I made them leave his head uncovered as they took him out on the gurney.
