Thinking of you today Scotty , I wonder what you would be doing if things turned out differently. Your sweet beautiful face and soul would be of a young man a teenager sprouting up to be a grown up . You had the world at your feet . Too young to be taken away from this world. I know you are in a much better place . You live now with our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus . You run free and your innocence lives on forever. I can´t wait to meet you in Heaven sweet child .

Rest easy

I can't believe I didn't hear of your story until recently, even though I don't live far from where you did. Reading about what happened to you shattered my heart. You did not deserve the pain you endured. If you had been my baby I would have loved, cherished and protected you with my life. Sweet angel you are safe now, no more harm will ever come to you. I never met you but I love you and I know that you are happy now and at peace. Rest easy, little Scott. You will never be forgotten.
Love,

June 12, 2015

Scotty...I never had the honor of meeting you or the chance to help you see that there is bueaty and love on this Earth. I'm sorry that you suffered beyond measure physically and in your soul. Even though I haven't met you, I still shed tears at the site of your picture or the thought of what you and Ryan endured. I haven't been the same since I first heard your story. Over six months later and I still think of you every day. I can't imagine the heartache that your loved ones feel at these tragic circumstances. I'm thankful that your big brother escaped that horrid fate and I am praying that God heals his heart and soul as he has witnessed horrors that we can't even fathom. And Ryan, if you ever get a chance to read this....
Please know that there was nothing you could have done to save your brother. Both of you were victims and neither of you deserved even an ounce of this pain. I am praying for you....sweet Ryan.

I lift you up to the Lord that he might heal your broken spirit.

May 3, 2015

Scotty, a day never passes without your sweet face crossing my mind. The world will never forget you! God is holding you close for everyone here on earth who wish they could. I never met you, but you better believe when the Good Lord calls me home, I know I will! While my 2 sons and I were playing in the snow this weekend I was wishing you could have helped build our snowman with us. My candle still burns bright for you daily. I pray your brother is safe, with lots of love and happiness. I will always love you <3.
