Scott,
Your friends and family will remember you always and think of you often. Hopefully you are enjoying those who passed before you and those who have joined you in Heaven. God bless those of us you left behind.
Your cousin,

Dear Bubba,
Yesterday was the date you left us to go and be with the Lord. I know that you and Daddy are having a wonderful time in heaven. I feel you and Daddy around Mom and me every single day. I miss you both so much and cannot wait until we are all together again. I miss all of the time we went fishing. I am trying my best to get the Mom and Dad's boat fixed so the family can go out fishing again. It is hard to believe it has been 2 years already since you left us and Daddy has been gone 5 months. I feel that he is still in the hospital. I can still hear your laugh and Daddy walking down the hallway with his walker and saying Hello Baby!! Or Good Mornging Winny Pooh. Sometimes when I am sitting in his recliner I can actually see him coming into the living room using his walker. We were so lucky to have you both in our lifes. In the mornings before the sun comes up I go out on the front porch, that is my quiet time and I can feel you and Dad and talk to you both every single day. We all love and miss you both so much it hurts my heart but I know you are both watching over all of us and Mom can still feel you both here in the house and still feel Daddy laying in their bed. I love you so much and you are dearly missed by so many people. I miss all the times we spent together fishing, doing work together. The holidays are not the same without you two with us. Until we meet again, keep your angels over all of us and protect us from evil. Love always, Your Sister and Mother

Dear Brother:
I talk to you every day,I drive by the cemetary everyday and miss seeing your face and hearing you make my laugh and smile. I know when I have Scotty and Leah with me you are always there. I can feel your presence. Hopefully some day all the family will be together again. I really love being part of your childrens' lives and only hope I can do more. I am not you but...
I try to be the best uncle that I can be for them. I still hear your voice and it makes me realize how much you really meant to me. See you soon brother.
Love, Will

Bubba:
I got an email this morning (on my birthday) telling me that your guest book would be gone after March 16th. SO...I wanted to write one more message to you. I know you are with us because every morning I hear the train whistle and I feel like that is your way of telling me "Good Morning Sissy". and then today on my birthday to get that message about the guest book ...
I miss you so much, I miss talking to you (even though I still do). I long to hear your voice and laugh again and hear you call me PETE.
Marilyn and the kids are doing very well but miss you more than you can know. We will all be together again.
SAVE ME A PLACE...I love you always,
LAURIE

My dear baby brother I miss you so much. You are in my thoughts every single day. I find myself talking to you daily. I don't understand why you and not me. You were so young, with a young family. We are all still morning your sudden passing and it is hard for us to believe you are gone. But we all have the reasurance that you are watching over us and that one day we will all be together. I sometime feel you rpresence around me. It gives me such comfort to know you are watching...
I am so proud of your precious family, Marilyn, Scotty and Leah. It will be hard on all of us because Christmas was your special time of the year, decorating the house, inside and out.
It hurts that last year you were called out to work on Christmas Eve. We had no ideal that would be our last one together..You and Scotty, Leah and Marilyn were so excited about winning the Christmas decorating award last year. You worked so hard and so did Scotty. Mom and Dad and I miss you so much and we love you so very, very much and you are always on our minds.
I bought a beautiful Ponsietta and took it to our church in your memory and Pastor Sherry said such kind words of comfort for us but the hurt is still there and will be for a long time. You were such a strong and viberate man. I am so proud of the man you grew up to be. You loved your family and Mom and Dad so much. You were such a caring and devoted man. You thought of others before yourself.
I love you and miss you so much. Until we meet again, please watch over all of us. You are our precious angel now. I know you will be with us this Chirstmas, please give us a sign that you are with us...
Love always,
Your older sister,
Wendy

Merry Christmas little brother. I know this was your most favorite time of year. Seeing the joy in your childrens eyes when they open their presents. I will be there to help Marilyn with putting things out for the kids. We will miss you this year but know that you are with Jesus and will celebrate his birthday in person. I wish I could be there with you... Love, your Sissy

Well Brother it's been over 7 months, I still miss you more than ever. I'm sorry that I took for granted that you would always be there and we would always have a relationship. I know you are in Heaven with our Lord, and look to the day that I too will be there with you. I promise to do whatever I can to help Marilyn, Scotty and Leah however I can. I pray that God watches over them as I know you do.

My sweet little brother....I can't still can't believe that you are gone ...... It's like you are just at work when I go to see Marilyn and the kids. We (Will and I) have gotten really close to Marilyn and the kids and will continue to be here for them in whatever they need us for. I miss you so much.....Every morning when I open my eyes I hear the train whistle. I believe it's you telling me "Good Morning Sissy"..I wish I could just hear your voice again, your wonderful laugh and to hear you call me "Pete" again....It's been 7 months and 2 weeks since we lost you. I regret not coming in the house the day of your stress test and giving you a hug of reassurance.
For anybody that is reading this....
Please......if you have not told the people in your life that you love them, or touched their hand or hugged or kissed them, or if you are having some stupid misunderstanding ... Please clear it up now...Don't wait. We never know when it is our time to go home with our Lord. Please think about what I have just said...
I love you bubba, Can't wait to see you again.....
Laurie :)

Although I didn't know Uncle Scott very well,I could tell that he loved his family and GOD very much. He was funny, kind,loving, and just plain fun to be around!! Even though I was never sure if I was his niece or not(because he was my stepmom's brother-in-law)they always treated my brother, sister, and I like we were family, and I thank them for that. They inspired me to do the same for someone else someday. Thank You!! I Love you all!!!

To the Pfaff family,
I never met Scott or Marilyn, however, my children did meet them one year while visiting their father and step-mother in Texas. Scott took my children out for a boat ride and other activities with his family. By including my children in their family activities, my daughters and son felt acceptance from a 'uncle and aunt' they had never met before. While reading through this guestbook, I have been touched by the references to Scott's Christian walk. It is obvious to see that Scott's walk with Christ was an integral part of his life. I pray that his faith in Christ remains strong in his family. May they all be reunited one day in Heaven.

I was only able to meet my cousin Scott once, but it was obvious just by that brief encounter what a friendly and gregarious person he was. My thoughts are with Scotts family and Aunt Pat and Uncle Bob and my deepest condolences go out to them.

We were all shocked at Scott's sudden passing. Our immediate thoughts were how privilaged we were to enjoy his company in Kansas City during his Engineer Training. We truly regret we live so far apart. Mother enjoyed the hospitality of Scott's home during the family reunion a few years ago, and I treasure the time with the family in Lufkin. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.

Our Precious Son,
We miss you so much darling, but we know you are with Jesus and you would not want us to grieve so much. We don't grieve for you my darling, only for our parting. When you were born, Daddy heard you cry and knew you were a healthy boy.
We were so happy and all of us, Daddy, Momma, Dennis, Wendy and Laurie loved you so much.
Our little towehead (white haired baby) We were so tickled when you sucked on your pacifiier and
went Oink, Oink, Oink. When you took your first steps, first days of school, playing little league baseball, your growing up years we were so proud of you. Your beautiful blue eyes, curly hair and big smile and wonderful loving ways.
We always knew that you had such a closeness and bond with your parents and siblings.
When you married the love of your life, we were so happy for you and Marilyn and Marilyn was such a
wonderful daugther to love and we were proud that she was now a member of our Pfaff family and always will be.
When Scotty and Leah were born, their coming brought new youth to our lives as being grandparents. At the same time we were becoming great-grandparents.
We were so happy when you became an Engineer on the Railroad. We loved getting all of the cell phone calls at night from you on the train which you so did often.
Sweetheart, you did so much for us but mostly we were so proud of you.
I know that Friday when you passed away, Jesus came and took you home, our Preicious child, where there is no more pain, no more 14 hour work days (which you wouldn't have changed because you loved your job and wanted to make sure your family had everything they needed because you loved them so much) and walked through those Golden streets with Jesus, Abraham, Jacob and Isaac, David and all of our relatives like both of your grandmothers and grandfathers, Uncles Don, Roger, Dick, Kenny Pfaff, Uncle Ray Jayne,
Aunt Fran, Maxine, Bea, Phyllis, Mary Elizabeth and Laurie's little baby girl Laurie Marie and many cousins and friends.
We know they were there to greet you also.
Scott dear, we all in our family have a wonderful Christian heritage. We have evidence that your Momma's great-grandfather Eli Johnston and his second wife Harriet were ME missionaries to the Cherokee Indians in the mid 1800's. We all still love and serve our risen Lord Jesus. You and Marilyn have made sure that this same heritage is being passed down to Scotty and Leah. Our precious son you have given Daddy and I so much joy in your 41 years. We will be meeting you soon in heaven. Remember until we see you know how much we love you.
Love,
Momma and Daddy

Dear Marilyn, Scotty, Leah, Mom&Dad, Wendy, Laurie&Will, & family,
As I write these thoughts, I have a beautiful picture of Scott in front of me. His smile and captivating eyes remind me of many precious memories we shared together. He was and will forever be my brother.
Our childhood was full of joy and love. Scott may have been the youngest, but he made his presence known in the family and never missed out on anything.
As I look back on those growing up years, we always enjoyed Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. Mom & Dad made sure that we were active in our church and it was through their example that we understood that there was a real God who loved us and wanted a relationship with us.
Christmas plays, live nativity scenes, Sunday School and youth group were an important part of our young lives. Little did we know that God was shaping us and molding us to be more like His son Jesus.
I was 13 yrs. old when Scott was born. I was so proud to have a brother, not that I didn't love my sisters, but I needed things to be a bit more even in the family. I enjoyed taking care of him and helping him to take his first steps. He loved for me to hold him and we connected in a way that will live on through eternity.
Not long after Sandy and I were married, we were transferred away from Houston. As the years have passed, it became harder and harder to maintain the closeness we had as children. Through it all, our deep love and commitment to each other remained constant.
The sudden loss of my brother has had a profound effect on me personally. First and foremost is my absolute conviction that Scott is enjoying his place in paradise and is eagerly awaiting all of us to follow. Knowing this gives me a great sense of peace and hope.
The true blessing for me was meeting so many of Scott's friends and co-workers and hearing them tell me what a special person he was. Scott was a caring and giving person with a huge heart. I know that this was the result of Scott's decision to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.
Juan worked closely with Scott at the railroad. At the funeral home I spoke to Juan and I asked him to tell me about my brother. Juan smiled and shared many stories with me that made me so proud to be his brother. Juan was a christian and I asked him if Scott ever talked about Jesus. Juan smiled, looked me in the eyes, and said yes, every day! Wow, what a witness to the Lord.
In the midst of sadness, God always seems to do some awesome things through it all. It is no different here. Relationships have been restored, our family has been strengthened by the love of friends and our church family, and others have understood that life is precious. Scott would encourage us to love God, love one another, remember what's important and enjoy the life we are blessed to have.
Sandy and I, our children, sons-in-law and grandchildren are very proud to be a part of the Pfaff family and the family of God.
Scott lives. He is free from the cares of this world and enjoying his inheritance with the Lord. I know that we will see him again and it will be a great reunion. Until that glorious day, remember that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by Him. Don't miss Heaven!!
Scott, save us all a place!!
Love,
Dennis, Sandy and Family

Mr. & Mrs Pfaff, Wendy and family,
Remember that your loss is shared by many friends who care
and that you're in our thoughts and hearts
May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds
you today.

at this time , At this time of sorrow may these truths sustain you.
Your loved one will always be as close as a memory
and the God of all comfort is always as close as a prayer.
It will be the little things that you will remember
the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may
seem hard right now, it will be the memory of these little things
that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again
Just to let you know how very sorry I am. Those who live in the hearts of others.... Never die.

In additon to my previous entry I wanted to share our last Christmas together with everyone who reads this.
Scotty and your Daddy decorated your home with such beautiful lights, had your antique Santa Claus, Nativity scene outside in the front yard and you two went and bought the Santa in his sled with the reindeers behind the sled and tied them up between the trees in the driveway so they looked as if they had just taken off from your house. Not a place on the house or yard did not have white lights. It was simply breath taking at night. So beautiful.
As I sat there in your home on the judgeing night around 11:30 Scotty came running into the living room, eyes wide opened and so excited stating Daddy someone is in our yard and they are putting up a sign. You were so excited, dancing and jumping up and down. Your Daddy was relaxing in his recliner, in shorts and jumped up and ran to the front door along with your wife Marilyn and daughter Leah. You had finally won the award after many years of decorating the house, I can't remember exactly the words on the sign up but that didn't matter. Your family was so excited and so with your family outside barefoot and in your PJ, pictures was taken from the street. I will never ever forget that moment. Every Christmas I will remember you Brother for all you did for your family to make Jesus' Birthday so special for your children. You started the tradition of the decorating and your street always won Best Street Award for their efforts and that was due to you.... I miss you and love you so much as do everyone who loved you. You were a special man. You loved your family so much and you are missed dearly. Everywhere I go, every train whisle I hear will remind me of you.
Marilyn if there is anything I can do for you or Scotty or Leah please let me know I love you all.
And kids the fish up here in the Lake are just waiting for you to come and get them.
Your loving Sister and Aunt,
Wendy

To the Family of Scott,
I only had the pleasure of meeting Scott one time, but just knowing Wendy and Mr. & Mrs Pfaff, I know that he must have been a fine person. Wendy is my sister-in-law and I could not love her and her daughters any more if they were my blood family. Mr. & Mrs. Pfaff, the times that I have been with you, I have always noticed that you all were a loving and kind family. I have prayed for you all during this time, and also for Scott's wife and children. God will give you a special amount of grace to get through this time, and will send angels in the form of friends to minister to you. If Bill or I can do anything to make it easier, please feel free to call on us. Wendy, Tonya, & Angie, we love you all, and always will. You will always be our family also. May God bless your famly and give you strength. Love, Genevieve & Bill

To Scott's Family -
I am a cousin you never knew. Bruce Jayne was my uncle and your sister Wendy found me while doing genealogy research on the internet. I know that families are linked eternally and that one day we will have a chance to meet in person, but until then it is enough to know that you have gone on before to pave the way for the rest of your family to follow and connect up with you. God be with those left behind and may your memory serve as a blessing to us all.

Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with the Pfaff family. There are no words really to sooth the harsh sting of death. But, the balm of the Lord when applied by loving hands can soften the days, months, and years ahead as you heal and reflect on the life of Scott. How wonderful that Scott will always be with you even though his mortal body has returned to the earth.
We did not know this young man but we have seen his reflection in his mom and dad as well as his sister, Wendy. What a priviledge this has been to know the Pfaff family.
God Bless - Larry and Sherry Lindsey

My sweet little bubba. I still can't believe you are gone. I love you so much and will miss you. I know that you are walking the streets of Heaven with Jesus now. You worked so hard to make a wonderful like for Marilyn, Scotty and Leah. You loved them so much and I know you will continue to be watching over them. I will miss your loud booming voice saying "HEY PETE". (my nickname as a child)...
I am greiving for my loss but am happy that you are in Heaven .. I always tell people that lose loved ones not to be sad that they are in the most beautiful place that we could ever imagine. Rainbows, waterfalls, birds singing, flowers always in bloom, beautiful music and angels everywhere. BUT... now that I've actually lost my baby brother those words are hard to apply to myself. I'm thankful that you did not suffer a painful death. I am just greivig for myself. I will miss you everyday and everytime I hear that faint train whistle blowing early in the morning I will think of you....
I love you bubba. and will see you soon.
Love your big sister,
Laurie (PETE)

To My Baby Brother Scott,
I can remember when you were born. On November 21, 1962, you made our family complete. Two boys and two girls. Mom and Dad were so proud of all of us. You were a cheerful little brother. You were 8 years old when I moved out to start my life. But we always had constant contact.
I know as your big sister, whenever I needed you, you were there for me. But that is what families do. I had the privilge of watching you grow into a very special person from a baby and into a wonderful and caring son, brother, husband and father.
I will always remember you whenever I cross the 6 Mile Bridge at Mom and Dad's house in Hemphill where we went to go crappie fishing at night, whenever I walk into the building at Mom and Dad's that we restored for them. I will cherish all of the times we worked together going to do remodeling of a garage, the house on Lake Conroe, and the hospital we remodeled and you did all of these jobs after you got off of work driving the train at night or on your off days when you really needed to rest.
I remember the time you were so sick and I took you to the hospital ER and found out you have Hep. B and you were so yellow and running such a high fever and the doctors told me that if you had not come when you did to could have really been bad for you. Our family rallied around you and gave you all of our love and support that you needed at that time. You were a young man at that time, had not been out of high school that long.
I remember when you were allergic to fire ants bites as a child and we had to put you into a bath of ice to bring down the swelling. I know it as awful to have to sit in that cold water until you were almost blue but if we didn't do that your air way could have closed. It hurt me as much as you to have to do that because I should of kept a better eye on you around the yard. Forgive me for I was young then too.
I remember the birth of your son Scotty and you and Marilyn were told of his heart condition. Afterward we drove together behind the ambulance and you cried all the way from Tomball to Texas Children Hospital in the Medical Center.
And my heart went out to Marilyn that she could not go with us and did not know what was going to happen to her first born child and had to stay at the hospital. But everything turned out all right due to prayers and he was a strong child and still is a strong one. The doctors were amazed at his recovery and soon he was home with your loving parents.
Whenever my daughter Tonya had her wreck and was in a coma you came to the hospital as fast as you could to be with our family and me. That meant so much to me.
To Scotty:
Scotty your daddy loved you so much and was so proud to be your Daddy. You have grown into a loving special son just like your Father. I know he is looking down on you from heaven and is so proud of you.
To Leah:
Leah when you were born he could not of been prouder that he had such a beautiful little princess. Your Daddy loved you so much sweetie.
Now his family was complete.
Scott you were the kind of man who went the extra mile to make sure everyone was taken care of. Neighbor, Family and even people you didn't even know, you were always there to help.
I know that Christmas on your block will never be the same. You started the tradition of decorating the house with lights way before Christmas because your children loved Christmas. You would even put the Christmas tree up for them before Thanksgiving because they wanted the tree up.
I can remember that when your children had birthday parties and you had worked all night long, you were there…without any sleep because this was special that they knew their daddy would not miss their parties¦
I will always love and remember you until I see you in heaven. I will be talking to you often. So please send me a sign to let me know that you have heard me.
You will be missed and we are all grieving your passing but know that you are in heaven and we will all be reunited soon.
To Marilyn:
I know your faith will see you through all of this. As you know we are your family and we will always be here for you whenever you need us, or if you just want to talk. I will be here for you. I love you Marilyn. You are special woman and I know that times will be hard for you.
Love,
Wendy
Your big Sister and Aunt

Scott was my wonderful, loving husband who blessed my life for 12 wonderful years. He gave me two beautiful children and showered our lives with his love and his constant care. He was smart, funny,and always helping people in any way that he could. He was the most handsome man that I have ever met. He loved Jesus and is with him now in heaven. He loved his job driving the trains and he was great at what he did. We love him and miss him but I would rather go through this pain of losing him than never to have known him.

A loving father and husband, a precious son, a brother to lean on and to turn to in times of trouble - - - Scott is leaving his loving mark on those who love him. Today I pray each of you remember "God shall wipe away all tears from your eyes." Our Lord, Jesus Christ, is with you during your time to mourn. His Holy Presence gives you strength and the knowledge that each one of you is beloved of His creation. Open your hearts to receive His blessing and to be comforted.

Scott, you were a good friend and we're gonna miss you. I'll never forget the opportunity you afforded me by getting me my first real job at the RailRoad. God speed and watch over us from heaven. Your friend and family forever Richard A. Castillo

Aunt Laurie and family -
I was very sorry to hear about your loss. Even though it had been years since I had seen Scott, I remember him to be a free-spirit, very kind to everyone around him. My heart goes out to you all. Please accept my deepest sympathies on behalf of my family. He will truly be missed.

Uncle Scott. . . you will be missed so much. You were a joy to be around . . always making us laugh. I know that you are with the Lord in heaven looking down on us and will be there to greet us when we pass on. I love you and will miss you so much. I will always cherish the name "Attie"

Mr and Mrs Pfaff, Dennis, Wendy and Laurie. May god be with you all in this time of sorrow. Scott was one of a kind. As long as I've known Scott, he was gentle in spirit, kind in heart. He will forever and always be my friend, a.k.a "dude".
