Matt's memorial — Pine Lake, GA
A playable chime installation in Pine Lake, Georgia, raised and stewarded by Lyndsay Sweeney. The plaque reads: “We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.” Anyone passing by can stop and play a little music for Matt.
Have photos of Matt or the band that aren't here? The family would love to include them — leave a note on the tribute wall.
