Glory to God for welcoming His servant, Scott, home. We'll miss you on this earth, but you live on in your family and in all of the many lives that you have touched. Thank you, Scott, for all of the lives you did change. I'm sure that many were lead to Christ by your example. May God wrap His loving arms around your family and give them strength in the days to come.

God bless you, Deb and give you comfort. It seems He used Scott's life as a testimony and Scott's death as a witness too. You have both shown the strength and peace that only the Holy Spirit can give through this difficult time. Scott is hearing that big "Atta Boy" in the sky now.

Deb, Your husband Scott was the best man in our wedding,almost 33 years ago. Scott and Bob had known each other since the 2nd grade. When they would get together, which unfortunately wasn't often, it was like they were kids again re-living their grade school and high school days...laughing about the things they used to do. I loved hearing them talk together on the phone even though I'd only be able to hear one side of the conversation (Bob's side). I know they shared alot near the end of Scott's life. I think since they knew each other for so long, had the dreaded disease and knew the Lord, they bonded in an even more special way. Scott and Bob were friends for life. Friends for life are to come by these days!!
Deb - We admire, your courage, faithfulness and support you gave the love of your life.
Blessings, love and prayers are sent your way.

my prayers are with Scott's family. I knew Scott from school, and later on was a babysitter for both Dana and Jessica. He has fought a courageous fight and never gave up,he just let go.

Only the hope of Eternal Life in Jesus Christ tempers our grief at temporarily losing the company of a sweet brother. When we meet again, I'll give you a ride in my MG down the streets of gold.
