Dear Matason Family, I am sorry that your loss is what caused you to create the Andrea Claire Matason Memorial Scholarship, but I thank you for trying to pay tribute to Andrea’s life in such a positive way. Whereas I did not win any money, being recognized for my dedication to helping animals and my drive to pursue a career doing so is very affirming. Thank you for your consideration and support.
