Liz BakerI have known Matt for a few years through my son, Chris Baker. This has hit Chris pretty hard because Matt was his best friend and room-mate. When Chris called me on Friday to see if I could help him get to Froedtert so he could see Matt before he died, I didn't hesitate. I drove Chris up to Froedtert and stayed for a few hours for him and Matt's family and friends. I wish I could have done more though. I am deeply sorry and can't express my sorrow enough.
