Dear Janet, Alaina and Andrew,
There are no words to express our sorrow. Cousin Scotty will always be a happy memory to cherish from the days I visited in Princeton to more recent visits. His life was a miracle from birth and he accomplished so much in the time he was given. We are so sorry that weather and travel issues will prevent our attendance at the services. We hold you in our hearts with love, Cousin Liz (Ostroff) and Jerry Hubbart.
