To the Family,
While I did not know Scott, his mom, Nancy, and I were classmates at Serena High School. Knowing her family, I am sure that Scott was a great guy who was taken from his loved ones way to soon. I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers as you go through the difficult task of adapting to life without Scott.
