[I got this sad note from Branden. I urge people to write to Matt. This will no doubt be a big moral blow to him. So write to him and keep his spirits up. This is very sad. Jan]

Dear Supporters,

I just learned from Matt’s brother Mark of their mother’s passing yesterday at 12:10 PM at the Hallmark Healthcare facility in Pekin, Illinois.

I had heard that she was not doing well so this news was not unexpected but it is somber news. She was such an amazing lady. I can see why Matt turned out to be such an inspiring person, having inherited some of Ms. Hutcheson’s attributes.

Let’s all take a moment to reflect on the person that she was.

We’ll have to send Matt our condolences when the Bureau of Prisons decides to allow our mail through. Matt knew he could count on her at all times. She was his rock!

I am honored to have known such a wonderful lady and the mother of one of the former great leaders of our religion.

Free Matt Hale!
