Not sure what to say?

To Jennifer & Jeremy:
Most people are fortunate to have 1 father, and you were blessed with 2. He was also lucky to be blessed twice, first with Brandon & Jaime, then you two when your Mom married Scott. I'm glad you were able to share some of his life, and I'm sure he feels the same. There are alot of people who love you, and are always here to listen, or just give a hug. I love you both, Aunt Janet

Scott,
I dont even know where to start, other than I love you and I miss you and will never stop thinking about you. You taught me so much, about life, love, and hope and courage. People can search a lifetime to find true love, a love so deep that it touches your soul, I am so lucky to have found you. I sit here and think about all of the laughs that we shared, conversations that we had and the tears that we shed. I think about you singing "Color My World" to me every night and how...

To Julianne, Family and Friends

My deepest sympathy on your loss. Having a loved one with a brain tumor is an especially hard thing to go through. Scott was the type of person who liked to "putz" around in the yard. But in the end, he wasn't even able to walk across the yard, or even walk. My brother, Craig of Marshall Wisconsin, was a Harley rider, but in the end, he couldn't even ride in a wheelchair.
That's what a tumor can do.

We can only hope that someday...

Dad, the first thing I want to tell you is I love you, and will miss you always! You were laid to rest a couple days ago and along with you I laid to rest many dreams, but was renewed with bigger and better dreams! Along with that I was filled with new hopes and more strength than I ever thought I had. I dont feel like your gone and I hope I never do. I believe that when you have kids its a job that is never done. We are yours forever and I believe you will always take care of us.I seen you...

How can I express my feelings when there is so much pain.



There are no words for the pain I feel . Losing one of your children is so very painful and heartbreaking.Just the thought of never being able to see you tearsme up. I do thank God he gave me almost 43 years having you here even if its not enough. Scott there has never been a day in your life that I didn"t think of you and there won't be a day in my life that I won't think of you. I'll always miss you my son. All...

Mommy: (Colleen)
I know that you are hurting so much right now, in fact I wish I could hug you right now. There are no magic words to say to you except I love you.You are my 2nd Mom, and Scott was just like my brother, from running over my toes with his bike, throwing crab apples at me from his "fort" in back of my old house on Chadwick, and trying to scare Teresa and I when I would spend the night. No wonder I always got homesick! Well I will miss him terribly too, but I am so glad that...

To Julie:
I know that Scotty loved you so much, and I can still hear him say, "Hello", in the way that he did to you, and you alone. You took such good care of him for the last 3 1/2 months, especially at the end, when he needed you the most. Your brother Bob the way he helped with his med's, moving him, etc, and being the good brother-in-law that he was, was wonderful. And Deb, helping with Jen & Jer, and with Scotty, was so special and so needed, a nice sister-in-law's touch. I can't...

To Jaime & Brandon:
If I could, I would take all of your pain away that you are feeling right now. Please don't forget that there are so many people around that love you so much, always here for you. You have so many great memories of your Dad, which will live with you forever. He's watching you from Heaven, along with Grandpa Berry, smiling down on you and the girls. I love you both very much, and am here for both of you always. Love, Aunt Janet

To Teresa:
I knew Scott for 41 years,and it's been full of laughter & some tears. I consider you my sister, and your family as mine, and knowing you for so long has been a pleasure and an honor. Spending Monday with Scott and his last hours on this earth was such a privelege, and I know that if I were in the same situation, you would do the same for me, because that's just who you are. To watch you sit and talk & sing to him was so sweet, and I know that Scott spent his last few hours...
