Scottie as I new you as your cousin Bruce Kelly. Reading over some of the other entries I too remember all the good times we had together, the family get-togethers we always had around, X-mass, birthdays, summers at Twin Lakes, etc.. Somehow as our familes grew older we stopped having all those get-togethers. I missed them and we didn't get to see each other as much. I had the oppertunity to meet one of your sisters not long ago and came to realize that I have even more cousins now. ...

Scotty (as we called him in his younger years) and I were cousins only 6 months apart in age. We broke our arms at the same time and had great fun coloring while we had to remain "still". But the best times were when we got togther and played hide-and-go-seek-in-the-dark with our brothers. Our parents thought this was dangerous be we always got away with it until one of us would accidently bump our head on the cement basement post and the noise would give us away. The mischief was always...

Dear Fern:

I was so glad I got to know Scott. I loved talking with him and remember how he loved Florida. We have bought a condo near Ft. Lauderdale. I'll think of him while we're there. Please Know that I think of you and thank you and Scott both for making my time in Streamwood so warm. I also appreciated Scott writing in my farewell book from Immanuel.
Through your unselfish and devoted Love for Scott - You set the bar high for us all. Thank You.

Blessings,...

Hello, I am Rhonda (Rhonnie) Scott was my brother. Though we met only once and spoke on the phone a few times I could see what kind of person he was. I wish we could have been closer.
I thank you for the love and care that you shared with both Rick and Scott. Rick was sort of a substitute Dad to my girls and I could talk to him anytime. Sometimes he would call or even stop by in the middle of the night.
May God bless you and your family for all you have done and keep you in his...

Scott & Rick are our beloved sons, the greatest joy and Blessings in our life. They made our life full and complete. Although they are gone, still they live --- forever in my heart

Dear Fern and All!

I am very pleased, grateful and honored to be able, along with Scott's family and friends, to sign his Guest Book. (and I quick prayer of thanks for whoever it was that came up with the wonderful idea of Legacy!)

My name is Bobbie and I am the eldest of the "Williams" family. Fern, you may recall that I am the one who originally contacted you many years ago regarding Rick.

Being the oldest and the...

I AM SCOTT'S AUNT. SISTER OF FERN. I REMEMBER WHEN RICK AND SCOTT BOTH CAME INTO OUR FAMILY. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. AND THEIR PARENTS WERE SO HAPPY AND PROUD OF THEM. WE ALL LOVED THEM. SCOTT WAS VERY QUIET BUT VERY THOUGHTFUL AND LOVING. I WATCHED THEM GROW UP AND BECOME NICE YOUNG MEN. OUR FAMILY WAS A VERY CLOSE ONE. AND ON THE LAST TRIP I WAS THERE IN DECEMBER, TO SEE MY SISTER AND SCOTT HE LOOKED UP AT ME FROM HIS SCOOTER AND SAID "AUNTIE SHIRL, YOU WERE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE...

My name is Laura and I was a niece of Scott's. My Mom Rhonnie was his sister. Growing up I knew Scott's brother who was also my Uncle Rick.
Rick was never really open about his family and I never knew he had a brother Scott until years later and a few years after that I found out Scott was also a relation to my Mom's side of the family. As a child my Uncle Rick was like a father figure to me. I was given the opportunity to meet my Uncle Scott but it was only for a few minutes, but...

Hi,
My name is Kathy
I am the 7th of 9 of the Williams children
If Scott had authored an autobiography, my part in the story of his life would probably not have added up to more than a short paragraph. He might have mentioned that he'd met with me, Ralph, Randy, Mark and Rhonnie. He probably would have tried to tell about how almost 20 years had elapsed between that day of our all meeting - and his telephone call to me in late 2005.
Recently - he invited me to his home....
