As a long time friend of and teacher to many Mataeles, my heart breaks to hear of Aisea's passing. I know the family is grateful for the support of the Las Lomitas and Menlo Atherton communities.

Although I may not know Aisea too well he was a really cool guy but my thoughts and prayers are with his family it deeply saddens me to learn of his passing. Rest In Peace Aisea our community salutes you.

I met this family through Pastor Silvia Clayton and appreciated their support at the passing of my relative several years ago. My heart goes out to them and prayers as well.

Did anyone look up Reyes Syndrome? Same thing happened Dec 24th 2015 to my baby girl she was also 14 years old.. And also misdiagnosed but with Gastritis. It was Reyes Syndrome later confirmed by a pediatrician specialist.
