Hi Scotty,
As Christmas approaches, I remember the holidays we shared. Your personality would light up the room. No doubt, it still does!

Hi Scotty,
I think of you everyday. It has been twelve long years without you here with us. I do know you are happy and free in heaven with Jesus. Jonathon and James are number II and III, you will always be number I. Love you, Scotty.

This cardinal showed up while I started to gather my thoughts of what to say to you. I guess this says it all. Until we meet again

Dear Scotty, I can’t believe it’s been 10 since you left. I would’ve loved to get to know you as my brother and I’ll never have that chance. I think of you often. Much love, Kristen ❤

Dearest Scotty,
You are always in my heart and on my mind. I try not to look back, but look towards the future when we will see one another again in paradise. God has you securely in his hands and someday I will hold your hands in mine. I love you more than a dog loves his tail, the fish love the sea, and the stars love the sky.
Love, Mom

Hi Scotty, I have been thinking about you so much lately. It is probably because your brothers look so similar to you! I wish you were here to hug and hang out with. We all miss you very much.

It has been four years and I miss you more now than ever. James and Jonathon ask about you and I tell them about all the funny things you would do. Our dogs loved to chase you around the pool. You were so fast and they would nip your heels before you jumped in. I remember your deep laugh and how you told great jokes. I loved that you played cards with us and were up for any games the boys wanted to play- especially Nerf wars. I love and miss you so much. Love, Mom

I know you dont know me, but I was with Scott in the hospital moments before he passed, he was always trying to make me smile and laugh and always went out of his way to be a kind and giving person to others around him as well as me. I will never forget that week I got to know him and those last moments before he was taken home to his resting place. I pray for peace in the middle of this storm, and comfort when you feel like you just cant see the light in the end of this one...you cant forget though, there is ALWAYS light in the end, god promises this to us...we just have to have faith...feel free to message me if you ever need anything...hugs, and many warm thoughts to you and your family...God Bless

Dear Scotty,
Aunt Patti read this poem at your service.
I wrote it in your 6th grade school binder 12 years ago and found it last week. I miss you terribly, but know you are with Jesus now.
A poem for Scotty
Wish, oh wish, upon a star
Cast it gentle, send it far
Let the maker of all things
Send it back to give you wings
Dreams are made from hopes and tears
Through the years they fade like fears
Let your heart be free to trust
He will answer how he must
Say a prayer for those you love
Say one for our God above
Give him joyous thanks and praise
Number deeds with happy days
When the time to go grows near
Turn your eyes and see clouds clear
Nestle in His restful wings
Hear the angles start to sing
Go in glory, leave a kiss
Let it fall on those you'll miss
Never doubt that all is well
God in heaven now will tell
I love you more than the stars love the sky, move than the fish love the sea, more than a dogs loves his tail.
I will love you forever and always.
Mom

The day God called you home
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough.
And the hills are hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
That day that God called you home
Gary and Donna Dufresne

Scotty, our love for you knew no limits and will be everlasting, our hope for you is you now have the peace you have so long searched for. You will be forever in our hearts and know that we never lost faith in you and we have always been proud of you. You will be our son and you will live on through our hearts until we meet again. Love Dad and Donna

I will love you forever and always. We will meet again in the arms of Jesus. Love, Mom
