Molly, Our hearts are heavy at this time and we send our love to you and your family. It has been a great honor to work with Scott and you and I just hope I was able to provide some small benefit. Scott and I exercised together, spoke of deep subjects, and he even tried to teach me to sing. My memories will always be fond and we will be here and ready when you need us. All our love, Cheryl and John Martinez
