Debi and Leonard, you both have been so very good to me. You all have been with me all my life. You've known me ever since I was born, in fact there when I was. Between multiple couples I've been raised. I'm luck to have you all in my life. This isn't going to be easy for any of us involved, family member, children, and everyone who's been close to or with Scott through out his life. You all have been so good to me though all of this and I can't express how much my heart goes out to you both. We,I hope will always be close for Scott's would want that for us all. Let's keep his legacy alive in all the wonderful memories that we shared with him. With all my love.

I miss and love you more and more every day. It's so hard for me to push myself everyday to continue on without you. What I wouldn't give to have you home. I hope when my time here is through, that we will be together again. I look at our pictures and all the happy times we shared and know in my heart that our love was genuine. Without a doubt, we will be together again. Love you too the moon and back as we would say. Got it in written baby. Love you forever and always.
