She wrote: "Today my love - my strong, sweet, beautiful love - took his last breath at 3:30am and went home to be with Jesus... exactly one year after his brain surgery.


"You think you can be prepared for this when you know it's coming, but you just can't.



"The only person whose comfort I want right now is the one who can't give it to me. I miss him so much.


"I know where he is now is so much better, but it doesn't change how much I miss him."




One year ago today, I heard the four words I never wanted to hear from Matt: “the tumor came back.” After 10 years being cancer free, my husband’s tumor had grown back and as a much more aggressive form this time-the dreaded Grade 4 Glioblastoma. I have shared this journey with you all throughout this last year in hopes that it will inspire and encourage all of you who are going through trials, or will go through them. Because at some point, we all do. But instead of questioning and asking, God “why”, there is so much more peace if you choose to trust and instead, ask what God wants to do in you and through you in that situation. We only hope that in this, people see God’s goodness, grace, and strength in us. We only hope that it will encourage others to cling to God, receive His grace , and rely on HIS strength to go through anything you face. Because the truth is, no matter what we go through, God is good, and He is faithful, and his grace will be there, always, just when we need it most. More than encouraging people to fight, to be strong, to believe in themselves, we want people to look at us and say, “I want to know the God they know.”

"You're a real one lindsay... you did everything right and neither one of you deserved this but I know you'll lean on God and i know God has got you.


"Wish I could take the pain away."

"Was great to see a driven local talent make the most of his dreams in the ring. I'm very sorry to read of Matt's passing tonight.


"My thoughts are with you & your family."

Cappotelli was initially diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2005 and was given the all clear in 2007.


But last year the cancer returned and he was forced to undergo emergency surgery.


The late wrestler said of the second diagnosis: "The first time, the cancer was a very slow-growing, grade 2 tumour.


"This time, it came back in a more aggressive and deadlier form, a grade 4 glioblastoma, which if you do any research on, it's not very pleasant to look at."
