My brothers smile and his steadfast support of me and others remains a significant comfort. Scott cerainly had his faults as most will remember. He was always there for his girls though. & fortunately for me i was one of his girls. No one could have done more to care for our father. Scott laughed and fished and hunted, cooked for events, cared for his family, loved his wife until the day he died yet humanly caroused(booze, pain killers & women) and was there for anyone and everyone. & He believed in Jesus. & was kind to animals. He cared for domestic animals and injured wild, i remeber the injured bird he ever tended in a shoe box. He followed honorable hunting and fishing practices. Clean, quick, single shots etc. Ate what he killed or fed others with it. He was my brother. & i am proud of him. He was an honorable man. Despite his humaness.

Final post Scotty - Spoke at a ladies
mtg. tonight on Trust. Talked about how the Lord has walked me through this
past year. Ref'd. an old song Hold to
God's unchanging hand. Only thing gets
us through the grief process. I thank
whoever has kept this Guest Book open
this long it has been a help in my letting go process. You'll always be in
our hearts. And thanks to God's plan
we will be together once again someday!
Two dear friends - did a song for me at
the close of our mtg. tonight. Cindi Gourley sang and Diane Willoughby did the song in sign language. I can only
imagine is the title. It's about what
heaven will be like. This was something we did not get to do at your
service and I felt since this is the
last day of the guest book online it was beautiful and fitting that God put
this in their hearts to do. Only God
knew my desire and it was fulfilled on
the last day to post. Beautiful closing. You are there and don't have to imagine and God is still watching you grow and was letting me know this and that He is watching all of us too
and is there for us
I close with a poem written in your
honor many years ago entitled simply
My Brother
My brother is many things to me:
He's a child that from birth brought me love and joy;
A child I played and laughed with when he was a boy.
Oh God: Such a child of sweetness and joy!
But wait, can this be? A child I no longer see!
I've been caught unaware and now find I can only stare,
for this child is a man you see.
My brother a man; now there's a new thought!
But I find still true such joy he's brought!
For in this man a child I still see, but oh God, he's your child, how blessed can we be!
He's strong and he's faithful as he walks in your light.
And I know with your guidance he'll win life's fight!
Dear God as I write this it's late at night
But I know that no darkness can hinder your sight.
For this I am thankful as thankful can be,
For this brother of mine is so very special to me.
Thank you God that he too is your own and that you never ever leave your children alone.
And now God, our Father, before a new day, I find I have one thing more to say:
Thank you God, for letting me know, that you too are watching Scotty grow.
Written for Scotty a few mos. after he
lost his foot in an accident!
Thank you God for tonight and the opportunity to once again experience your magnificent love and detailed
caring of me. For being mindful Lord and faithful even at times I felt I
couldn't be in the past few mos. You have kept your word. You are faithful!
I love you Lord; please hug Scotty for me and remind me when I need to know that you are both waiting as you watch
us all grow; to come and join you on those streets of gold!
In awe of your love,
Calvin and Mona Wisinger

It's Easter weekend and the reality of
the celebration is such a comfort! Because Jesus died on the cross for our
sins and you accepted that you are now
walking on streets of gold. There is no
greater comfort when I think about you
Scotty and how much I miss you. You have arrived at the coveted destination! Much has happened here as
I feel you already know. Jennie and Garrett got married last mo. She is now
a Tichy. Beautiful wedding planned to
a tee just like her Dad. Garrett is a
super guy; you would have liked him. He
makes Jennie very happy. Father Michael performed the ceremony. Your
pic. was on the altar to honor you. We
floated flowers in the water at Manchac
on Friday before the wedding Sat. You were greatly missed. Miss Nan Doeries was telling me what a gracious host you
were to them after Katrina when they stayed in LaPlace with yall. Leigh and
Kaitlin got to come in. Leigh got to attend everything shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding and brunch on Sun. as did I. Calvin attended wedding and sm.
pt. of reception. He missed you being
at the house and chaufering us around.
You were such a gracious host always.
Once I can no longer express myself to
you in this book just know that you will forever be loved and missed until
we all get home to heaven where our tears will be wiped away and we can be
together again forever and ever. Knowing Jesus provides a fairy book ending to all who believe. We love you

Leigh, Mona, PeggyJo & Family;
May the sympathy of those who care make the sorrow of your heart less difficult to bear.
There is a emptiness that only those who have lost a close relative can understand.
I will always remember Scott fondly along with all my memories of the Covington Family.
My heartfelt sympathy

Dear Peggy Jo and family, Leigh Ann, Mona and all the families, we just wanted to offer our sympathies at the passing of Scott. He was such a sweet and caring young man and had a lot to deal with. We will pray for your family during this time. The Lord is always there in times like this. As the Bible says...He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will heal the pain you now feel in your hearts. It is times like this that HE and only He is the one we can LEAN on for comfort.

I'm so grateful that Scott was a part of my life. He was a very generous person, always sending me home with a full belly of really good food. He loved to cook louisiana cuisine. I would always bring him wild game, and share story's about the great outdoor's. I think about him everyday thus far, and the impact of loosing him is going to be hard for all of us at times. But, the only thing that we can do is have memories of all the good things that he has done for us, and smile, because there were many.

Reflections of Scott's life
Scott was a blessing from the moment of birth.
Daddy called him Sunshine.
He had a sweetness about him and a
love for life; especially, outdoors.
He brought laughter and smiles to our
family as only he could do.
As a young man he was confronted through an accident with facing life physically challenged.
He met that challenge with an abundance of courage and strength.
In recent years as physical strength began to diminish by the grace of God he found courage to face each new day.
He found ways to be of help to others which was one of his heart's
desires. The desire to do this was
from the goodness in Scott's heart
coupled with a legacy to do for others from our parents "Red" and Rita Covington.
One of his pleasure's was preparing
breakfast for his youngest daughter
and delivering it to her at work. He
seasoned his cullinary expertise with love. (I must add that he did much
for his other 2 daughters in earlier
years - lots of rides to school in the
city for them and their friends; seasoned w/love also as extra stops
were made for coffee etc.)
Back to Stephanie in recent days
He also prepared her lunch several days a week; but, he did not stop there.
He found ways to be of help to others. He had , I believe, a God given insight and talent for this.
Whether he had known you for years
or just met you; if he picked up on a
need that he could meet he did so.
Whether it was a ride to a medical
appointment, a phone call at the right moment, a delightful meal or a
listening ear and heart. Maybe just
his unique outlook on life or his vast
understanding of what you were going through. He was always there.
He will be greatly missed by my husband and I, his girls, and a host
of friends.
Today - is another day w/o my brother, for the girls w/o a Dad,
and for many w/o his friendship.
But, Today is also one day closer to seeing Scott again for those who
have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.
If you have not done so; along with Scott; I extend this invitation to you.
Simple Prayer - Dear Jesus, I ask you
to forgive me of all my sins, all my mistakes; please come into my heart
and life and lead and guide me in your ways all the rest of my days. Amen!
If you just prayed this prayer you are
in for the remaining todays to be filled with comfort, peace, hope, love, counsel, Godly correction, and encouragement as you face the trials of this life; and last but not least, the inheritance of heaven where you will see Jesus and you are one day closer to seeing
Scott again. Looking forward to seeing you there. Calvin and Mona (Covington) Wisinger Brother-in-law
and sister to Scott Covington

Dear family of Scott Covington, and especially Mona, his dear sister,
I have heard from Mona about Scott from the time I met her quite some years ago, and, because of her devotion,concern, and regard for her beloved brother, have prayed many times for this man who I will not now meet until I see him in Heaven. I am so thankful that there is no question as to the peace and wholeness and joy that he is now experiencing in the Presence of our Saviour. I offer my hearfelt prayers and share their sorrow for his family in his passing from their lives for the present, and rejoice for the good memories that he has imparted to them, God's peace be on you.

Mona, Leigh, and girls,
I was so sad to hear that Scott had passed away. I had heard so many wonderful things about Scott via Aunt Mona.
The only thing I can say is this world is not our home, so we will all go home one day. What a wonderful reunion we will all have together. Scott will never hurt again. I imagine he will be hanging out by the river of God. Talk about a great place to fish and swim. I send my prayers to you all.

The south pass memorial service held this morning was lovely. A small group of Scott's family and friends gathered to see him off to do what he loved so well, live within nature. The pastor of Manchac baptist church wove a few passages from the bible into words of encouragement. Words of tribute were added by his sister, Mona. Some of the lovely flowers recieved from various sources had been re-worked into a floating memorial which was graciously launched off the pier by Mark. The ashes were added to the water as a poem fitting to the occasion was read. As the flowers and ashes floated out to the bay, a massive flock of seagulls appeared and followed them as if nature itself was lending tribute. All in all it was a beutiful day, assuring everyone that Scott was resting at peace as he continued his good works by enriching the environment he loved so well.

In loving mememory of Scott Covington, my borther and hero.
I have the honor and the privilege of being Scott Covington’s sister. Everything I needed to know in life, Scott taught me. Scott taught me to ride a bike when my father gave up. Scott taught me to shoot pool and shoot a gun. Scott taught me the meaning of courage, and how to step into the breach during an emergency. Scott taught me through example when to throw a punch and when to hold one. While Jesus is responsible for my salvation, Scott is responsible for brining me to that realization & decision. Scott did countless selfless deeds for others including saving the life of a child and our parental home from fire. Scott was human as are we all and made countless mistakes as well, as do we all. The bible says that the sins of the fathers will be visited upon subsequent generations. I believe there is a corollary to this, that the good deeds of any of us shall weave an influence of benefit and edification upon countless generations. While I accept the departure of Scott’s earthly body, I rejoice in the promotion he has received. He has gone from being a mortal vessel with a generous spirit and courage to being a piece of each and every life he touched, and being at peace directly in the Lord’s presence. He is released from the suffering of his physical body. Yet he lives inside each of us through those influences of his which were positive. He had a spiritual heart as large as the outdoors he loved, and through his own wishes his remains will be spread at 10:a.m. Saturday morning March 14th at Manchac south pass, so as to enrich and nourish the environment he loved so dearly. To Scott Covington, at peace he lives in the glory of the Lord and the positive things he did for our lives.

Thanks Mr Scott for all your help getting me to and from Usuline. You always truned around when I forgot something and brought Kelly and me PJ's when wanted coffee. It took a special person to do all that driving while we slept and finished our homework. Ms. Peggy Jo, Jennie, Kelly, and Stephanie I'm very sorry for your loss. Your Dad had many interesting things happen in his life. I'm glad to have known him.

Mona, Leigh Ann, Peggy Jo and girls,
I am so sorry to hear about Scott's passing. As we grow older, we often lose touch with those we were so fond of in our early years. You all were like family and I still consider you that way. Mr. Red and Ms. Rita were Grammy and Paw Paw to me and always will be. My memories of my childhood and Scott with his playful nature will always be precious to me. I know that these last few years have not been easy ones, but know now that Scott is at peace. He will be watching over his beautiful girls and always be remembered as a free spirit... I am sending my love and prayers to you all. Mona and Leigh Ann, Please email me and let me know how to keep in touch with you.
