Last year my boyfriend's grandmother had passed away(July 4th, 2018)and we were having a memorial service for her. While I was there I noticed a headstone with the name of Scott Nance. I looked at the birth date and thought that this can't be true. I did some research and I still can't believe it. I remember when you would give my sister's and I rides to school. You were always there to help anyone out, if it was helping to fix a car or just lending an ear you were there with a smile. My sister Suzi was just as shocked as I was to hear of you passing and give condolences to the entire family. You are missed by many . May you rest in peace

Hey Dad,
I am sorry I hadn't signed this earlier. What can I say though? We were completely different people. I was the clever nerd, and you were the brilliant mechanic. On one hand, I miss you terribly and I'm gutted about the time we could have had together. But on the other, I'm just angry dad. I don't even know why, or what for. Its been almost 14 years now. Ill be 30 next year, and that will mean, you've been gone longer than I knew you when you were here. Its such a surreal feeling, I still remember that night in the hospital like it was yesterday. 14 years is a long time. Since then, I finished high school in 2007, purchased a house in 2013 and even bought a Roush Mustang GT 5.0. Now when I was a kid, I couldn't have cared less about cars and mechanics. but what I wouldn't give now to have you over on a Sunday making it faster...
I married a woman named Maricela, and she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. She's wicked smart and incredibly sassy. You would really love her. She really wishes she could have met you. Her father also passed away when she was young, so its an understanding that we share together. You were always good with handling the situation in front of you. Me? I'm always stressing about what's to come. I want you to know that I don't have all of the answers, but I take every day step by step and I'm confident that ill figure it out.
I just wanted to talk to you. We never truly had the time to before.
I know you did the best you could. I love you.

Hm, well at loss for words but I sat down at the computer and right in front of me was where Victoria had been online and left her entry. So hours later here I am. Trying to do math homework but can't seem to get focused and I hate math.
I should be back in the bed with my head in my books but................
Can't believe its been just over 4 years since you left us to join God in heaven.
I had a pretty emotional day around the 14th of December, but got through it.
You are missed very much.
Life is a journey, I do believe this and God oversees it all.
I have tackled a lot of things these past 4 years and have our lives back on track again. I rebuilt things to make it better as best as I could.
Its hard on Victoria not having a father or even a father figure in her life. She misses you so much and I sometimes worry about the lack of a father for a young girl. I do the best I can for her. I am thankful for having friends like Adam and Bryan to lend advice during the times I need it and pick her up from school functions when I am at work and can't get there to get her. I am thankful for Danielle who took her to the Urgent Care last week when I was at work and saw that she got the medical attention she needed and picked up her Rx from the pharmacy and took her home and put her to bed.
I am thankful for such a bright, beautiful wonderful daughter that you and God gave me.
She has her drivers permit now and I am teaching her to drive. We have not done a whole lot yet due to work and school schedule and my own fear of putting her out on the roads with all the crazy drivers. She is my/our only child and I get scared about anything happening to her. Please look out for her from heaven and make sure she is especially blessed with angels to watch over her.
We all miss you and you will never be forgotten. Life is changing and moving on fast and the years are flying by. You will always be in our hearts.
Love, Denise

You are always a second away in my thoughts. And your still farther away than I could ever say, but I know your here with mom, and me. We still love you and I want you to know, you were and still are, the most amazing farther a girl could ask for. My memory of you is still clear as if it were yesterday you walked in the door. I've never forgotten the sound of your voice, or the way you would laugh, or I would call it snort.
You will always be with me everywhere I go, till the day I dye. Where ever life takes me, a piece of you will stay with me forever.
Love you always, always
dad,

Brother Scott;
Although the trials and tribulations of regular life have resumed, you still pop in my mind daily. Christmas has slid up once again and like last year it doesn't seem like Christmas at all. We used to say it was for kids and we had some real good ones sneaking around unwrapping gifts to make sure Mom bought the right thing. I'm sure Sharon recalls those days as she and I were famous for finding all Mom's secret spots. Regardless, you are still missed by everyone i'm sure. Especially me. Those late night calls that turned into hours on the phone after you got sick. I have wished so many times that i'd have been closer. I'd be happy to have another 500.00 phone bill just to have gotten to talk to you again.
This past year has zoomed by with alot of gloom. Everyone says time clears the air. Maybe so, but mine is still clouded with the knowledge that your no longer up there. I may go for Christmas but it depends on my dog-sitter being home long enough to make sure my animals don't eat my Christmas tree while i'm away. Your in a better place and I know this but still I find the days hard when I realize your not here. As someone else said, I know you can walk, you can hear, and you can see which makes everyday Christmas for you. On that I will sign off but not without saying we all love you still and always will have you in our hearts while we finish off our time in this imperfect world we live in. Humor us as we write in this book as you are in a perfect life now but we are still here missing you. Always Loving You; Brother Steve

Tuesday December 7th and seven more days until the 14th.
Victoria and I went and bought some decorations to put up at the cemetary. We are all gonna go out on the 14 and do this. I could not find any battery operated candy cane decorations, the only ones they have are electric. Now if you were here I am sure you would have converted the electric to battery or made some generator hook up to light them up. We know you would have invented something for sure!
Here were are Christmas time again and then will be my birthday/our wedding anniversary. I still say that getting married to you on my birthday was the best present I could ever hope for and that day will forever be remembered. I think back as to how we arrived at getting married on my B-day. You wanted to get married right away in November because you did not want to wait and you were afraid I would change my mind about marrying you, I wanted to wait until March for a spring wedding, granny was sick and not expected to make it until March so I/we came up with my birthday for the day. The thing I found to be interesting is that one day not long ago I was looking at birth/death certificates and as I Studied them, I noticed something in the dates. I was born on Jan 3, 1964, my birth certificate was registered on January 8,1964. We were married on January 3rd, my birthday, and your death certificate was registered on January 8, 2004, exactly 40 years to the date of mine birth cert being registered. Then I also noticed that Victoria's birth certificate was registered on the 8th also, just not January, instead it was October 8 and strangely enough I recently had to have her birth cert re-issued since I finally after all these years got hers corrected as they had typed in your B-day as being the 19th instead of the 18th.Then you being born on July 18th, again the number 8 and when they fixed the typo error on Victoria's birth cert, strangely enough the date it was re-issued was on the 3rd. So for some mysterious reason, you, Victoria and myself all seem to be linked by the the numbers 3 & 8.
Here I am writing a book again. As the these months and the past year has gone approaching the one year date of the 14th of December, and as all of us look back & we reflect on things that we did with you last year. All of us are going through our own emotions and memories of you and the previous year.
I remember so many things, that come to mind not only of 2003 but of all of our years since we first met that night you were moving in next door to me and I was out there sitting on the steps. I had completely forgot I was out on the steps in front of my apartment that night until Chara reminded me that is where you all first saw me. I remember going outside & seeing you all move in very late at night on a work night and I do recall sitting in that spot on the steps I used to sit on when I had something on my mind. That image of you, Chara and the boys is permanently imprinted in my memory and always has been. Cory was not even 2 yrs yet and we were all in our 20's. I think you were 26 and Chara and I would have been about 24, and Christopher about 7 or 8 yrs old. I think back & now realize how God put us all together, put us all on a life changing journey and gave us Victoria and Andrew too. So now with this I will close this and go work on Christmas.
Love me
Denise Nance

Friday, Day after Thanksgiving. This year has cruised by so fast. You are still with us every day. Victoria had a bit of a rough day yesterday & says no one will ever understand her like you did. I try! But I am not you.
I still have my 2003 Calendar in my agenda book, never took it out and each day for 03 is mapped out. November 1 was one year since Tubby died.
As I reflected back a year, as we often do, I remember last Thanksgiving. Jason & Cory got you on the Dial-a-Ride bus and Cory rode down to my Mom's with you. I followed in the car with Victoria and Andrew. You were not about to miss a big dinner and you suprised all of us because even though you were feeling bad you still made sure that you said the blessing before dinner.
I am thankful for all the memories and all the happy times we all shared.
The folks and the kids are all off on another Christmas tree cutting trip. I was not up on it this year and too much to do. But in my memory is still the last trip we all went on and that is what I want to remember.
I still need to get all the videos converted over for the kids.
I need to get moving on the X-mas decorations. Just too soon this year. In less than 14 days the one year mark will hit us. We never forget the 14th of each month anyway. My out has been keeping busy and listening to music. I think I would have to say on of the most reflective songs for everything would have to be "The Song Remembers When". Well here it is mid Friday morning, Mom & Dad hit the road with Cory, Victoria and Andrew and Bobby, Andrea & the kids. This should be good for all of them. I got to go get a card and present for Lydia for her birthday and do a bunch of things around here.
We miss you and think of you each day and I know the holiday hurdle is going to be a bit rough, but somehow we will get through it.
Love, your wife Denise

Scott, We really miss and love you very much!! Words can't really say what we feel in our hearts...
Denise & Victoria Nance
June 9, 2004
My husband Scott,
It's now June 9th, 2004, the 14th of another month is again just around the corner.
Victoria and I think of you each and every day. I see so much of you in both Victoria and in Christopher. They are the two most like you.
Of course its hot here. I am hoping that the compressor makes it this year! We are still stuck in this house and really trying to get out of here. We don't want to be here anymore and its not the same without you my dear husband.
Some people say that when they come here that they feel your presence everywhere and that its almost like you are still here with us. Sometimes I feel that way and others I don't. Anytime I Victoria and I want to see or hear you, or just feel your presence, we stick in one of our many family videos or play one of the hundreds of tapes we have with your voice and talking to me or the kids or my Mom. I look back and thank God that you did have those annoying tapes on 24/7. I had never really listened to them until after you left and then there it is, your voice guiding someone through a car problem or just calling us on the way to and from work.
For Victoria and I, it brings us a sense of peace and calmness and a feeling that we are both better people today because of having you in our hearts and in our life.
As time and money permits, I will put together memory books for each of the kids. Jason's birthday is just around the corner and I was hoping to have it done for him, but with all the stops and starts with my computer, the house, letting the T-Bird run out of oil and the cooler leaks causing the ceilings to literally cave in............ I just don't know. We are trying and hoping to have it done.
I have someone who wants to buy the Camaro but I am still holding onto it for the moment.
Things are so different without you here and so many days we wish we could just have you back again. With school out now for the summer and us getting to see Lydia for a good deal of the summer and have the girls play together makes things seem brighter.
The kids and the issues, the laughter, the arguments and all the fun, and we still bake cakes and brownies and think of you as we bake and eat them. I still get the girls on the potato peeling every time! There are so many things that remind us of you every day and so many parts of you that are with us in body, mind and spirit.
Hopefully we can move before the winter months begin again. I don't want to be here for that if I can help it.
May was a pretty emotional month for Victoria and I. There were so many things we always did during that time of year and to have it come around and you not be here was really hard on us.
Victoria is going through many many changes and sadly this is a time in her life that she could have used you the most. We feel you with us though. Just like the other day when she was arguing with me and I asked her if she thought you would approve of her behavior, then she got mad and yelled and all of a sudden out of nowhere a big family picture fell off the wall and glass went everywhere. We both felt that it was you trying to get our attention and for us to stop arguing with each other. It worked. She just gets so upset sometimes and mad that you are not here. Other times she just deals with it. I can only guide her, and pray for the wisdom and knowledge to help her through the next years as she struggles to be strong and take the good with the bad. We will never replace you and would never want to, no one can, and again I am thankful for so many audio and videos of you that that is all I have to give her for what she needs from you. But it does help her a lot. She not only lost you but she lost her whole family as she knew it and so much she is like both of us, she mostly just deals with it as we both did with things. She gets that from us both, so that is good!
Change is good, although not always liked or taken well, it can be dealt with and used as a learing experience in life to make us stronger for a time when we will need the strength, knowledge and tools to deal with more of lifes challenges.
Anyway, you are always in our hearts and our thoughts and with us each day. We will always love you and miss you, until someday when we join hands again.
Love always, your wife and daughter and Lydia misses you too!

It's almost June and almost six months since you had to leave us. I will not say hope you are ok, because I KNOW that you are!

Dad that is a precious word there are so many definitions for that word and it all begins with you.Scott Waldo Nance I'm still laughing about your middle name you hated that name anyway Mom still crys every night about why you had to leave us and others, until she realizes that this isn't a bad dream she going to have a hard time with life. I'm kinda thinking that this is like the only way I can talk to you, and I'm so glad I feel that way.I'm so confused on why you left, you were doiing so good,you know what I mean. There was a school dance the other night and mom wore your straw hat because the theam was , belive it or not "hillbilly" I'm so glad it was dark in there because she would have imbarrrassed me so much that I would kill my self before I'd step foot in school.I've still got straight A's in school.OH yea gues what I want to name my kids"of course when I get older"there names will be for a boy "Scott Waldo" and for a girl"Destiny Requel", I know how bad you wanted to be a grandpa but you'll meet them sooner or latter. It's like 11:19 PM and I have school tomarrow so it was nice talking to you DAD
Love your 1 and only daughter,

Brother Scott; January 20th-2004
I feel like writing twice is the actions of a hog which is something Mom would have said and probably did at sometime in her life. Today was January 20th "My 47th Birthday" and you weighed on my mind through all of it. I guess because 23 years ago you married Chara on the 20th. So with you in thought, I had to add alittle more to this guest book. This entry will not be a novel like the first, but you are missed terribly. With me being 200 miles away it still plagues me like the flu that your gone. With that thought in mind I will close, but not without saying that no matter what was good and what wasn't, your 41 years with us has became so alive that our loss is like a lightning strike to the heart.I could not let this day pass without writing how very much you were loved. No one can ever take your place. Love; Brother Steve "Dude"

January 13, 2004
Scott,
Never did I think of life without you. Like Sharon, I asked why? I'm the oldest and it seems like something should go wrong with me first. I look back at the years, and then the ones lost with you because of my foolishness. But I do feel good about the last five. I take the world cup for us being so close during that time. No arguments, no disagreements, just alot of good time, talks, and all the other things that were missed in earlier years. Remembering when you were born is so hard when I get up and know your now gone. Truly your the only one i've known 41 years aside from Dad & Sharon. I do thank God everyday for giving me such a good memory. Someday I hope all my recollections of you and our lives as kids will get me through the day. Right now I find no relief. Words are difficult for me and have always been, but the past 2 years cured me of that "at least with you". Never did I not love you and I told you that. When you said you knew this you added that I was always quick to jump when you needed me. This made me feel like i'd at least done something right through my lifetime. When I left Phoenix to return home everything seemed so final. Since that day i've walked my dog, circled my back yard, and walked along the river searching for the answers. I am constantly reminded of my dream 5 years ago when Mom came to me. We talked for hours on the phone when I called to tell you, and never could we make sense of it, other than you thought she was warning us about the end of the world. Since you died, it has felt like this to me. Although I viewed Mom as not only my hero, but a person who was never wrong, this past year 2003 made me pray she was. You took president over my love for her Scott and if she'd have ever been wrong in my eyes I wish it would have been this time. I could write for years and never say all of my feelings and may write again before this guest book expires. Sharon was great in finding this way for all of us to express our hearts. Living without Mom became easy for me, but at this time I haven't found anything to help me with knowing your gone, so, with that thought in mind I will hang on to what Mom said in the dream because if she's not gone, she's just not here, then you are also with her. This I know , and one fine day I will also be there with you. Until that day comes, Know how I do love you even though your not here to tell. I know that your "So Alive" as Mom said in my dream and her need to tell you there was nothing to be afraid of makes me know that God is perfect and I now have nothing to fear when that one day rolls my way.You being sick last year brought many things together. God truly works things in a perfect way. One thing that put me and our sister in the same room was you. We both loved you and nothing in this world would have stopped us from being there. Much love to you Brother Scott. You will be in my heart all the days of my life. Forever Loving You, "Brother Steve"

Scott was a truly gifted man in many ways,more than could be put into words, master mechanic, devoted father,loving son, brother, husband and uncle.There was never anything more important to Scott than his family,his children especially, in all of my life I have never met another man so intelligent,caring,or fun to be with than Scott,I just wish that I had more time to spend with him.We all look to god and ask why,why take Scott?all I can figure is that maybe God's car broke down by the pearly gates or something,maybe the answer is simple,because god said so, and thats the only answer we will ever know until it is our time,whatever the case may be Im sure Scott Is still with us and allways will be,his memory,his words and his children,and I see it this way,half of each of Scotts children "IS" Scott and in that case we still have 200% of him,maybe more,for In his children and his childrens children,at least a part of Scott will live forever,and no man can hope for more than that.I will miss Scott,and think of the things I never got the chance to do with or learn from him,But just like my Nanny,the time I have been able to spend with Scott was more than enough to last me the rest of my life,for the impression he leaves with us all is that strong,and will never die.
Thank you Scott
Love

Scott,
My memories of you seem like they're from another lifetime. I was so young, so impressionable, and I loved the very idea of you and my sister together.
I remember the noisy, rompin' rides in your old (never really painted) Ford truck, visiting your mom and dad and playing with "Baby" in their huge backyard. I remember how lonely and sad I was when you left for Texas.
The way you and your dad grumbled to each other (that's the way the two of you talked) made me laugh. Your mom made the best turkey in a bag and dinner rolls. Your sister is a beautiful person- I know her better now than when I was a child.
You drove me to school, fixed my car, chased off peepers when I was sunbathing, consoled me when I cried, and created my three beautiful nephews who now adore my children. I miss your laugh (more of a chuckle, really) and though our lives turned a different direction as we grew older, your impact on my life will always be there.
Your death saddens me terribly. I wish you could have known my babies. They love your sons and their aunt Chara to pieces. I'm happy you're at peace.
Love, Lia

My Dear Scott,
How could we ever have known your life on earth with us would end so soon... Our life together began early, though we parted ways,unable to maintain harmony in the life we aspired to create together,for some unknown reason to us; though I loved you always... The life and innocent love we shared in the beginning will, I believe, live through our children and our children's children; and on down through the generations when possibly all,one day, with God's blessing, find the love, respect and harmony in the life we dreamed of together for them. Until we meet again, I will find,register and name a star after you, for our children so that they can always look up to you and our True Father in heaven.
Always, Chara

Dad I'm realy not good with words but, anyway I miss you though I know this is not the last time we will meet.Right now it's so lonly but soon we will go on. I wonder and will always wonder until the day I marry, who will walk me down the isle and who will dance with me when the father daughter dance comes on.Even though I know you will be there it wont be the same.But, thats o.k. because I love you and thats all I need to know. You have been such a great father to me and I could'nt ask for any more than that.
Love you'r daughter

Uncle Scott,
Uncle is a title unworthy of how much you mean to me. A teacher, a mentor, and an acting father is more suitable. I can never thank you enough for all that you've done for me, and for everything that will happen in the future for me.
We spent almost a year bonding, and I have gained so much from your experiences. I only wish that our time wasn't limited, but you'll always be in my heart and my mind, guiding me toward greatness.
Love, Nickolas

Dear Scott,
I will miss your "sista" and I running to Filliberto's for your "Super Nacho" craving (extra sour cream, NO onions), the good talks, hugs, laughter, and I love yous. But most of all it will be your tenderness and gentle soul that I miss the most.
Not only were you a master of mechanics, you were a master of courage. You have opened my heart and restored my faith in that we are not alone. You have touched my heart, Scott, and shall live on forever within it.
Until we meet again,
"Love You"

My sweet brother Scott you have went to be with the Lord and to reunite with our mother. I love you dearly and although I ache with sadness, I am comforted by the ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE that you are with our God. How do I know?
"It all began the way you craddled my hand a week before you passed;
And the funny thing was that neither of us, knew our visit was to be the last."
"I stayed there at your bedside as you clung to donated breath;
Not even for a moment I'd leave, for fear that your heart would rest."
"Though family and friends began to leave after a request for a test from your wife, God chose me to stay behind to witness your exit in life."
"And as this transformation occurred right before my very eyes, the light of life was gone in seconds but your soul continued to rise."
"Finally, after the happening, while driving home in the dark, I looked up to the sky and asked "why," and God answered with a shooting star."
You've awakened my soul dear brother. Sis loves you!

I was so sorry to hear about Scott having cancer. I am very thankful that we all here in North Carolina were able see him and his family for the vacation they took in the motor home. As a child, I would always look forward to seeing Scott and his family pull up at my Great Grandma's house in the station wagon, he was always so much fun to be around, as a child and an adult. I want to tell Denise and all of the family how deeply sorry we are, and you are all in our prayers. Scott will be missed by so many people. Love, Cousin Angie

I loved Scott so much, he was my first cousin. I was his baby sitter when he was a baby and a little boy. Just to know him was to love him. That sweet little mischief's smile, he could get his way with anybody. I am so glad for the time that we got to spent together in July 2000. just wish I could have been closer, so I could have been with him in his last days here on this earth, but my hope is that I will see him again in Heaven and I know now he is in no more pain, he can hear, he can see, he can walk, and there is no problems there. "I LOVE YOU SCOTT"

Scott, my kind, loving husband, I just happened to go online to see about printing your obituary and found all this!
Victoria and I miss you more than words can ever say. If I had only known that on that Friday night it would have been the last night we went to bed and woke up together. I wish I knew what you were thinking when you squeezed my hand at the hospital as that was the last word and touch from you before you went into the coma. I miss you, we all miss you and as my Mom told you, your timing right before Christmas stinks, but you did it your way and you did so in a way that no one had to make many decisions for you.
You put up a good fight with the cancer and you are the most courageous, brave man I will ever know. I hope that in Heaven and with God now that you are watching over us and I know you can walk, see and hear now and that all the pain is gone.
I love you,
Your loving wife Denise
