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

Gil and Olas,
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.
