To the Cousins Family, Mr. & Mrs. Cousins, Jackie, Bryan, Patty and Scott's children~



God bless you all during this difficult time. I am deeply sorry for the loss of Scott.



All the years I grew up with Jackie, which meant many, many days spent at your house (I still miss going through that refrigerator Mrs. Cousins!!)I felt like a part of your family back then. Still today I hold you all close to my heart and cannot express enough how sorry I am. I feel your pain and sorrow.



Knowing Scott all those years, I saw he was a good son and brother and I know he was a wonderful husband and father as well.



Scott for the most part was quiet but Jackie and I would always manage to bug him and get a laugh out of him. I have fond memories of Scott growing up and am proud to say I knew him and all of you. You are all very special to me.



Mr. and Mrs. Cousins, take pride in knowing that you have a wonderful, loving family. My heart goes out to you both. No parent should lose a child.



Jackie, you will always be one of my best friends. I love you dearly. I know you and Scott were close and this will be very difficult for you. You know I am always there for you if you need someone to talk to.



Bryan, knowing that you and Scott grew up together and shared a lot of the same friends and interest, I am sure this will be very difficult for you as well. Keep your memories alive of all the good times you both shared together.



Patty, Courtney and Kyle(though I never met you kids), God bless you all and know that your dad will be watching over you.



May your Faith in God help you through this difficult time. God bless you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.



I Love you all~

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...

that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
