REMEMEBERED FOREVER
Matthew Shepard is gone from this world forever
physically , but he will live on and impact the lives of others in a way
that few of us can hope for ourselves.
I invite all persons of good will all over this
earth to become a part of the the effort to foster and promote the ideals
and values which represented his life.
In order to do this, his family has established
a foundation to which I urge each and every person who visits this page
to contribute and help show the world that the ideals and ideas which this
special young man expoused were the very core of the highest and most noble
ideas of humanity.
Matthew's mother, Judy Shepard funrished the following
information to PVHS News:
Every life needs meaning. Every death needs meaning.
The life and death of Mathew Shepard will continue
to have
meaning through the establishment of The Matthew
Shepard
FoundationThe Shepard family has created this Foundation
to
help people abandon ignorance,
prejudice, and hate. The
Foundation will be dedicated
to the principle of helping people
move beyond tolerance to embrace
and rejoice in diversity.
The energy and resources of the Matthew Shepard
Foundation
in conjunction with the Matthew Shepard memorial
fund, will
be devoted to public awareness and education programs
to
ensure that what Matt lived
for and believed in will help others
believe as well.
This work will take the efforts of many. We hope
that many will
share their efforts and their resources so that
many may share
Matt's vision--life is precious, we can work together
to help each
life have meaning and dignity.
