Hello Mrs. Libby,
I worked with Scott when he came to Hancock Lumber on school vacation. He was the most sincere man and always working. He also introduced me to the Canna plant, which I now have many of, thanks to Scott. I am truly sorry that God had to take such a great human being. I hope that somehow Scotts plant stand will still be there. I'm extremely sorry for your familys loss.

Nancy - today I heard about the latest updates. I know that this is very hard for you as Scott's Mom. And even through as Scott's friend we miss him; the hurt that only mom's can feel goes much deeper. Remember that God will carry you when the burden seems hard to bare. Your Scott is still an amazing young man; now he is tending the flowers in heaven. Oh how they must be beautiful. Sending our love and prayers your way.

My heart goes out to Scott's family and friends. I have been a regular customer for 2 years. Scott was always pleasant. I am fairly new to gardening and Scott patiently answered my numerous questions and provided gardening tips. I remember the year before last he had an abundance of fuschia and I was so excited because that is one of my favorites. I loved to get as many plants as possible for my gardens from Scott. He took such care in growing the numerous plants. I had just heard the news the other day and it seemed completely unbelievable to me that it could be the same Scott Libby I see every year until I took his business card out of my wallet. I just wanted to let the family know how truly sorry I am for thier loss. The Farmer's Market certainly won't be the same.

I am in shock. I worked with Scott in founding the Lakes Region Farmers' market and was impressed at his maturity, level-headness and dilligance.
My deepest sympathy to those who knew and loved him.

Nancy, though we haven't seen each other in many years, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I was absolutely shocked, and so saddened to hear about Scott. One of my fondest memories working at Park Place was the day he planted the entire garden...he was just 13 or 14 and he was amazing with his gardening tools...I was in awe of him...he just smiled and casually explained all of the tricks of the trade to me. I remember that I told everyone about this boy who would surely grow up to be a horticulturist or landscaper. You raised a terrific young man.

Scott...you were one of the best friends I have ever had. We still kept in touch to this day and for that I am glad. I love you Scott and will cherish the many memories that we share.
Nancy...I love you so much. I hate to see you so sad and am so very sorry. Scott was a wonderful man. You did an amazing job raising him. He was so kind-hearted, smart, gifted, and so much more...I will come and visit you when things quiet down a little. We can have some tea. Take care Mom Libby. XOXO

Nancy, so sorry to hear of your loss. It took several days, before I realized that the accident that they were reporting on the tv, was someone that I once knew. I haven't been in contact for a long time, but I remember well the times that Milton and I spent with you, Jim and Scott. I know that the loss must feel unbearable, I know Scott was a great comfort to you....Just know that you did a great job, and he was a great son....My thoughts and prayers are with you.
