"EVERLASTING"
By Scott Tallent
A willow in my hand
Sets the example
It's strong, tough, yet, pliable
It becomes the wicker basket
Only because it yields.
Scott was a family man in the truest sense of the word. He adored his wife, parents, sister, nieces, nephews, and friends. He was the Carolina Gamecocks number 1 fan, enjoyed photography, movies and had a one-of-a-kind keen sense of humor. Scott was a gentle spirit who always practiced giving kindness to others. He will be deeply missed by his wife, family and all who had the honor of knowing him.
