Scott was my step father. Over the years we grew to be very close . Scott didn´t have any children of his own but I told him I was his daughter and would be there till the end and when that time came no matter how hard and almost unbearable it was to witness im so glad I was able to keep my word to him . I cherish our special bond that we had and am going to miss him very much . I´m so glad he´s not in pain anymore . I love you so much Scott !!!!! Fly high friend

When Scott and I were about 6 or 7 years old he found a little stuffed dog that was all dirty and ragged, he picked it up and looked at it in the eyes and said, I'm going to name this mog fog gizzard, my mother cleaned it up and he kept it for years. Scott was my sidekick and friend for our entire life, he will be missed
