North Branford woman pens obit for son killed in crash

Matt Picciuto


I covered an emotion-charged presentation at Seymour High School April 25 by North Branford resident Lynn Riordan who lost her son, Matt Picciuto, to a car crash in May 2009. He was 18.


Riordan wrote the above poem in her son's voice.

She started Matt's Mission, an organization that helps needy students in the community as well as organizations. Riordan and her supporters coordinate a 5K road race in Matt's memory each year in North Branford to raise money for Matt's Mission Fund.

This year's event will be held at 9:30 a.m. May 18 at North Branford High School.
