To the Paulson Family,
I am so heartbroken to hear of the loss of Scott. I still don't want to believe this has happened. Scott was a wonderful friend and cousin. The most precious memories from my childhood were at the Farm playing with Scott and Mark. I will cherish his memory always.
I will miss You Scott, a piece of me dies with You. As Your feet grace the stair to heaven, know that we all are never far behind. We will meet again some day, and that day will be beautiful.
