I first met Scott earlier this year when he was being treated at Winthrop Hospital. I'm the music therapist there, and had the blessing of working with him several times. In the couple of hours I spent with Scott over the course of the past year, I was so touched by him. I can't forget the way he would absolutely light up during our sessions. He always tried to sing along with me, and he would smile widely, and move his whole body around excitedly. I want to express my deepest sympathies and let you know that you are in my prayers.
