I already miss chasing you around the house; and sticking my head out the car window and squealing like the pig in the Geico commercial; And going to the bank and saying"It's my money, and I want it now" ..I have so many memories that will forever be in my heart; I Love You Always and Forever; Thank You for always being in my corner, Scott; I am forever grateful for your love and support when I needed it most. I will see you again someday, and I will definitely chase you around Heaven :-)
