To Stuart Scott's Family,

We will never forget Stuart and his valiant fight v. cancer. He IS a true hero.

I don't know of the pain of losing your loved one has gotten better over the years, but I can tell you that God never forgets those who have died. He misses them just as much as you do.

Always loved watching you Stu. Sports center has never been the same.
Watching you battle cancer was such an inspiration. You sure knew how to live life your way, the authentic way. I know you're in heaven, where you belong. Though I never had the chance to meet you on Earth, I pray I will get to meet you in heaven. The way you and Jimmy V fought and embraced adversity is a shining example to myself and so many other people. "Cool as the other side of the pillow." ...

Stuart taught me how to live with cancer by some of his quotes and how he persevered. I feel blessed to be inspired by him. He still give me the strength to never give up. Even 2 years later. Janet

I watched your show on Sundays. You were always full of energy and excitement for the game. I have only found out recently that you had two daughters. You were a great father. Your daughters love you so much. Thanks for being attentive to their needs. I wish I had met you. You inspire me to be a more loving person, to be strong, and to press forward no matter what. Thanks for your courage and grace. You are a wonderful blessing. Praise God for your life.
