Matt’s last words to me (Darra/Christine) were, “Thanks for keeping me sane”. Matt and I have known each other for the past eight years (in Second Life time that is 17,520 days); in that time we have explored Second life, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars and a few other virtual worlds together. He encouraged me to become proficient at WOW and Guild Wars but alas, I am a bit challenged in multiplayer games nonetheless, his patience helped me level up. I use this term because Matt always helped people level up. For instance, while pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership I attended Penn State World Campus. My true passion was instructional designing and teaching, which I was already involved in at work. With his guidance I changed programs and schools and obtained my BS in Instructional design, he helped me level up in my educational endeavors. When he needed an ID, since his ID turned in notice and classes where to restart in four weeks, he asked how soon you can come to Virginia. In two weeks I found myself in Roanoke, once again Matt helped me and my husband level up in life, with a better job than what I had left and a life in a nicer part of the country.

In the case of Zoro the Greyhound, I dragged Matt, one lunch hour to the local greyhound rescue wanting to look at this dog I saw on the pet adoption pages during one of my sleepless nights.

When Sarah, the kennel operator, let Zoro out in the exercise yard Zoro immediately made a beeline for Matt and wanted to play, Zoro finally decided to check me out as well. They say animals can sense the good in a person, even when others cannot see it, Zoro knew Matt was a cool person who loved to give ear scratches. Zoro leveled up because I wound up adopting
