Dear Chris & Carol,



I don't know if you'll remember me. I was friends with Joan and rememeber when Scott and Amy were just babes when you would come over to Ruth's on Palmaire. I was so very saddened to hear of your loss. Scott became an incredible young man who brought joy to so many people. Just reading how he touched so many lives in his young life only illustrates a small facet of what he did. My sincerest sympathies and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love, Ron & Rita
