Dear Scott Family,

I had the pleasure of meeting you and your son at the last Westwood Neighborhood meet and greet. Thomas and I struck up a conversation about dogs, and he had your german shephard with him and gave him commands in German, which I got a kick out of. I thought Thomas was such a wonderful teenager and I could see you were both very proud of him. I can only imagine your devastation and send you my kindest regards for healing. I imagine your son was very well liked and will be missed by many.

In sympathy,
Donna Narducci

There are no words to express the sadness you are feeling. A person doesn't have to have a LONG life to have a GOOD life. Thomas certainly had a very good life, with loving friends and family. Our prayers are with you.
