I know you have a new life and I am thrilled for you. Your lovely baby girl is just what you need now along with your new wife. You are an amazing man. I will admire you forever.
We know how much you loved Lecretia and it is awesome to see “Seales” in your baby’s name. No-one should have to go through what you and Lecretia went through.

I am reminded at Queen’s Birthday Weekend, that it has been 6 years since Lecretia died on June 5th 2015. And now we have a new law making euthanasia legal in certain cases. Thank you and Lecretia for your perserverence your amazing bravery and the success you have had. Thank you for doing this for us lot here in NZ.

Much love to you and your lovely family
Jenny Hercock

I have two friends very moved by you and Lecretia, your story and your battle, her beauty and bravery, not only bearing her illness but her tenacity in taking her case to the high court despite being so ill. Neither has access to a computer so asked me to pass on their messages.
From Dianne: Lecretia was so strong to go public with her kaupapa – and
arohanui to her whanau me nga hoa

The second is a beautiful message our friend sent to us when our son in law died last year.
She’d like me to send it to you.
“Kia hora te marino
Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana
Kia tere te karohirohi
I mua i to huarahi”
Kia Kaha, Matt. Our thoughts are with you and your saddness.

“May peace be widespread
May the sea glisten like greenstone
May the shimmer of light guide you on your way”

Thank you Lecretia, Matt, and fellow supporters. I am freshly inspired through following Lecretia’s story and reading all your potent tributes. Wow… never, ever, underestimate the power of what one person can do! Lecretia, we will all strive to continue your work and we WILL achieve the right to choose assisted death.
May all beings be happy,
may all beings be peaceful,
may all beings be free from suffering.

We are thinking of you and Lecretia’s family at this time of unbearable loss. You have both been an inspiration to us all during your harrowing journey together. Lecretia will never be forgotten as we continue her fight for the right to euthanasia in circumstances such as hers.
Take care of yourself Matt. You’ll need some of your own time now.
We send our love to you and Lecretia’s parents and siblings.
Jenny and David

Your story touched me so much. My sincere sympathies to those who knew and loved her. And my thanks for stirring me on to a worthy cause. The world needs more like both of you, your courage is awesome and a great inspiration. Words don’t seem adequate, but some beautiful ones have been written.
With love, sorrow and hope, Judith

Despite her illness she continued working. I just saw her programme a few weeks ago and can’t believe she is gone. Her husband is gem, you stood by your wife till her last day. You are rare in today’s society, most would have walked off.. This is true love. Rest in Peace Lecretia

Nothing but impressed by your joint courage, vulnerability, intelligence and bond. An incredibily tough and unfair journey that has been shared so intimately with us all. Shirley and Larry, you had a brilliant daughter and have a very special son in law. Our thoughts continue to be with you.
