Scott, you were a member of our family! You've been gone 5 years. You went to heaven a year before my Dad, Pastor Ed. You and he are, no doubt, having chats with your Dad. Miss you so! Til we meet again...

My family and I send our deepest sympathy to Mittie and your entire family. We always loved Scott because he was such a warm, sweet and wonderful person. Eddie would have been so proud when Scott became King of Carrollton this past year. We had very good memories together with Scott.

We want to extend our deepest condolences to the Terral family, and to share a couple of memories. Scott was indeed a Tulane fan. Cathy and I have fond memories of a bus trip we took with Scott in December 1970, from Tulane to Memphis. Tulane beat favored Colorado in the Liberty Bowl and Scott was on cloud nine. We moved to California in 1977, and I only saw Scott once more. We visited New Orleans in June 2005. I went to the Tulane Super Regional against Rice at Turchin Stadium. As the game went along, I kept hearing a vocal fan several rows behind me, cheering loudly for Tulane. I said to myself, I know that voice. I turned around, and sure enough it was my cousin Scott. Tulane won, and once again Scott was on cloud nine. He was a great guy.

You were my friend and i will always remember the good times.

I never had an encounter with Scott in all these many years that did not start with a warm embrace, a peck on the cheek, and a big smile. What a dear sweet man of God! Love and condolences to you, Mitty, and your entire family.
