Scottie, I wish you were here to meet my son Brooklyn... boy does he remind me of you! I remember one time when I was at your house and your dad said hey Scottie what do you have and I remember you opening the basement door and chucking Oreos down the stairs... hahaha. My Brooklyn does the same thing! Lol I´ll say Brooklyn what do you have and he´ll say nothing while he´s hiding a snack he has... boy do I cherish the memories I have of you! I wish you were still here making more, I love you and miss you... can´t wait until we´re all together again!

Scottie, I can't believe its already 2011. its been almost 3 years since the lord called you home, and not a day goes by that I don't think of you, I wish we had such a close relationship as we did when you were little!! I miss you little buddy, I look at pictures of you all the time, and remember all the good times we had when you were little, like when your mom (Aunt Shannon) would take us sledding, or out on the boat, or how you always had me watching Barney.. I have a lot of good memories with you, and I just want you to no I was really thinking of you a lot today! I Love You Scottie!!

Where America's day begins here in Guam night falls for everybody back home. As for this day it will come twice for me, as I am one day ahead of you all. I will go to my spot and have my day of tears and laughter and then again the following day as I share with you all your memories hurt and pain. I think we all share the pain and sadness and look for those things to help us get by because really the pain never goes away. But as we all know life is too short and Scottie would not want either one of you to just get by. I know one wish was answered and from the bottom of our heart Shannon we wish you happyness. I know he is smiling down. He has proven he is wearing his wings well. He is your angel let him guide his Mom and Dad as they live separate lives.

Scottie baby,
It's almost two years. Two years since I haven't looked into you amazing blue eyes, two years since I haven't eaten chinese food with you, two years since I haven't rubbed your feet. Two years my love. But in those two years you haven't missed one thing. You saw your mom get married to a wonderful man, you saw her go to church, teach me how to hunt, be an amazing person and so much more. Before I go to bed I look at a picture of your face and your mothers, it brings me peace and memories. Wonderful memories I will cherish for ever. Forever young baby boy. Your were the most astonishing boy I had ever met. You knew how to make everyone smile. I never once heard you complain Scottie, not once. You were so kind and patient. I can't wait to see you in heaven. I promise I'll try and do the best I can to take care of your mommy. She loves you so much scottie, but you know that. I love you forever and ever. I love your mommy so much as well. You planted that seed in my heart and it's still growing. It's been two years to long since i've seen you, so much time to catch up with eachother in heaven baby.
<3 always

Hi...this is for Scottie's parents.
I did not know Scottie but I was his father's classmate in 7th grade at Fitch Jr. High School. I just found out through another classmate about Scottie. I am so very sorry. I know all too well what you are going through. I too lost my daughter - also at age 16 and also from a brain tumor - almost seven years ago.
I see you are coming up on the 2 year anniversary of your son's death this summer so your pain is still so fresh. I saw Scottie's page on Facebook and reading about him has brought back memories of such a bad time. I can tell you, however, that there will come a time when life becomes joyful again and when you can think of Scottie with happy memories and not just think of what you've lost or missed out on. Hopefully that has come for you already but I know it took me much longer.
Your son was obviously loved by so many people. It is true - the good die young. My favorite saying since Samantha's passing is "When the one you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure". I hope your memories of Scottie bring you peace and comfort.

Wow! Where were you guys today?
Soon it will be Two years that you got those brand new wings of yours. I know for sure you are using them just fine because everyday on my run down at my favorite spot at the beach. You and Clifford know it very well.
As I talk to you both everyday and some days with tears in my eyes you guys make my day with the funny pictures in the clouds. I just wish I could reach out and touch sometimes. I just know you are closer then I feel. I thought I was crazy until Hunter went with me one day and he said Mom look over there it's Scottie and Siagon and when I looked up I just cried the picture was so clear. He is such a big boy he said don't cry Mom they are in Gods house and they are having fun. As a big tear rolled down his cheek and I just looked at him and we just laughed. The last Hug I had from you I will never forget because it was much much tighter then it had ever been before and I think God knew then that for me being so far away that it would be the last time that I would see those eyes of blue and would hear the words I love you Aunt Kimmy.
We miss you and I thank you guys for all the the fun in the sky here in Guam.

Scootie cat,
I can't believe how long it has been since I have seen you. I miss you so much scottie. You taught me so much in life and I still use the things you have taught me in every day life. When I have a bad day or when i'm going through rough times i always think of your blue eyes and your laugh. It helps me get through each day with a little more ease. some days are harder then others sometimes i ask God why he took you home so early but he has his reasons. Sometimes I just sit there and think about you scottie. I just think about all the memories I have with you. And every time I think about them I see you fishing on a boat in heaven eaten steak and A-1 sauce. I see that amazing smile and those beaultiful blue eyes looking down on us watching over everyone and your mom. Scottie your mom is still amazing. You guys faught a hard battle and stayed strong together for as long as you could. You never gave up and i still think about it all the time. I know not to take life for granted because you never know if you will be here tomorrow. scottie you didn't know if you would make it another day but you never gave in. you kept fighting and I completely look up to you for that. I miss you so much scottie and your mom is still a fighter, i know you are here with us and in our hearts. I love you so much scottie and you too shannon <3
love always,
you mommys twin (:

I only had the pleasure of meeting you just once. You certainly left an impression ! You received me with such love & excitement to finally meet me I knew right then your father spoke highly of me . . he certainly spoke highly of you ! I saw the pride in his eyes and heard it in his voice when he spoke of you. I do regret not having the pleasure to spend more time to truely know you, yet in that brief time I feel confident that you were a brilliant loving young man. And handsome; your eyes even bluer than your dads' To your family: there are no words to describe the loss you all must be feeling I only hope & pray that time will help lessen the pain which I'm sure is immense. I do reflect often at my time with the Goldmans' And I am proud and happy to say I was a part of the family. I learned alot in the 5yrs I spent with all of you and don't know where I'd be today without having spent that time !! Wish you all well. Scott & Shannon I have & will continue to pray for both of you to find a way to deal with all the pain you have both endured.

Scottie,
You taught me so much in life. I will never forget you and always love you. You planted a seed in my life and it will always be there. I may not understand fully why God called you home so early in life. But you changed many peoples lives; especially mine. I know you are in a better place. You taught me to never give up and stay strong no matter how bad it hurts. I know you are watching over me. You are soaring like an eagle up there. I know you are having fun fishing and eating! Scottie you and your mom really changed my life forever. I saw you two holding on and hoping for a miracle. But you were truely the miracle. I wish you could have stayed with us longer but I have a lot of memories with you and i'm thankfull for the time I had with you. I miss your smile and your jokes. I will always remember you. Forever in my heart Scottie Joseph <3

In loving memory of my Nephew Scott Jr. Goldman
Who passed away July 25th 2008
Your eyes of blue I'll see know more the thought of that hurts for sure. Gods house is where you are my god scotty that sure is far.
I knew the day was close and when I got that call that's when I cried the most. Before you fell ill and said goodbye you played a song and made me smile and that will hold me for a while, That's good because I haven't heard it in a while.
I have and will be sad and mourn my loss then I will thank God for the pain you felt you feel no more.
I promised you then and promise you now the talks we had, have remained in the wind. It just makes me sad to think you were right and you couldn't change things before you fell out of sight. God is good and he can see just what an angel you will be.
This Christmas is here and gone your favorite time of year and the New Year will soon follow. I will make my wishes for all your wishes to follow. They may come true they may not as we all know people and wishes are sometimes thought shallow. I will soon be with your Mom to visit you. May you rest in peace. There may have been life before you but then there was you and life will never be the same with out you. I guarantee. Shannon we have only you to thank for keeping his memory alive.
Sadly missed by Uncle Vance, Aunt Kim, Your Cousins Hunter & Logan

Scotty,
Every day I think will be easyer than the last. But its just as hard. I try to get on with my life. But its not the same, without you. I know you would tell me " Dad, get over youself" and live. Love as hard as you can. Be as real as you can and remember all the terific times we shared. Scootycat I will try. And I will wish you a very merry x-mass. All my eternal never ending love. Dad. P.S. One hundred kisses. And I will see you when GOD calls me.

It is hard for them not to hear your voice. It is even harder for them not to see your smile. They miss all those special times. They miss the phone calls more then ever. Gram, What's for dinner? Gram can we come over to swim. Gramp will you take me to the store. You were loved so much and Im sure you knew just how much. No one will ever take that away. That very spacial bond you had. Grampa sat by your side day after day.Gram held your hand and prayed. The taps on your chest will be forever in their hearts. You were the one the only one. There were no brothers or sisters to leave behind to share your smile, your voice of kind. So as they say goodbye to the Goldman name you were to carry on they miss and love the boy who had the name and lived until gone.

After a snowstorm a few winters ago, Scotty had come up to our house to see if we wanted our driveway shoveled. He was a master negotiator, and him and his friend ended up doing a very thorough job on our very long driveway. Still, owning a snow shovel ourselves, I don't think we ever would have considered paying them what we did if not for his skilled persuasive argument. His future seemed so bright!
We are very sorry to see him taken so very soon, and pray you find strength and peace during this difficult time. Scott was a one of a kind kid, did not shy away from hard work, and I had great respect and admiration for him. I know his spirit continues to live on.

Uncle Scott & Aunt Shannon, I just want to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. I love the two of you dearly, and I am just amazed how strong the two of you are. You guys did a great job through all of this, I know this is the hardest thing anyone has to do. Scotty was so brave, I sure am proud of him, he went out like a trooper, I don't think in a million years I could be as strong as him. I know me and Scotty grew a part over the years, but we were so close when we were younger, and I sure am gonna miss him. I will keep you in my prayers. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Shannon and Scott,
Scotty was like my 2nd child. He and Justin were inseperable for so long. But even though space and time grew between them it does not make the loss any easier. I love you two and have an insurmountable amount of respect for you both for treating my son just as wonderfully as you did Scotty. Scotty did not miss a thing in life. You two made his life so exciting! You did everything together. He has done more in his 16 years of life than I have at 30 something. He will be missed immensely. Especially his stories. God Bless You.

Scott and Mr & Mrs Goldman,
My deepest sympathy for all your family. I never had the chance to meet young Scotty but it sound like he was very special young man. By the looks of his picture he has that playful yet coy smile I remember from you Scott when we were kids, use that memory as your comfort. You all will be in my prayers.

I remember your son when he was little, playing with his friend Brittani Hedin. She has been so sad due to his illness, yet happy to have been able to visit with him. I am happy that they were able to reunite as teens. Your grief is beyond comprehension. Stay strong and celebrate his life forever. God Bless you. I extend my sincere condolances.

Shannon,
I have been struggling for days to find the right words to comfort you. I'm sorry, but I haven’t been able to come up with anything that is even close to appropriate. Even though I don’t have children, the pain of losing one is unimaginable to me.
Our phone conversation a few months ago left me in tears. I began praying for you and Scotty at that moment. I’m so sorry that God didn’t give us the miracle we were praying for and while I don’t understand it, I must believe that it’s because He had greater plans for Scotty.
I am so very sorry for your loss and continue to pray for you and your family. Please call me if there is anything I can do, even if all you need is someone to listen.
With love and prayers,
Claudia

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

( Poem For Bereaved Parents)I'll lend you for a little time,a child of mine,He said, For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is gone. It may be 6 or 7 years,or 22 or 23, But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief, You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true And from the throngs that crowd life's lane, I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love ,nor think the labor vain,Nor hate me when I come to call,to take him back again? I fancied that I heard then say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done,For all the joy that child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may:And for the happiness we've known, will ever grateful stay. But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
To the family of Scotty for so many years he has made everyone laugh and at times laugh so hard that we are crying. He will be missed and but he will never be forgotten because all of those memories will keep him alive spirituallly. I know if he could he would put you all in one big ball and squeeze you all tight to let you know he is alright. May peace and love follow you all (the family and friends) and the sun to shine enough to bring a smile and bless everyone of you through this time!!

Dear Scott,
We have been by your side through out this entire ordeal. We will deeply miss Scottie. He always had a smile on his face and his sense of humor was priceless. We will never forget the silly things the four of us did together. Him and I would have had a special bond and I would have been proud to call him my son. He would have made a great older brother for Tyler. He will always be in our hearts and prayers. Love always, Melissa, Tyler and Olivia

Dear Shannon and Scott: My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Losing someone so young and full of life is difficult. I will always remember Scott's smile and beautiful eyes.

Shannon & family,
Scott’s passing must be extremely hard to go through, although I never met Scott, from what I have read he was an awesome kid with a lot going for him. That is something to be proud of. I Hope time & memories of Scott ease your pain & help you keep him forever in your heart till you meet again. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Shannon, Scott and families,
I have been contemplating over and over what to say. It is heart breaking to actually realize that I am sitting here writing about the passing of Scotty. Even though we have not been as close as we were when we were neighbors, I never felt we lost that bond. Shannon and Scott there are not enough words to express the void in our hearts with Scotty gone. Shannon we wish you and " Big Scott" as well as your families all the strength you will need to get through this difficult time. We will hold all the childhood memories we have of Scotty as neighbors and friends on Bloomingdale Road dear to our hearts. We are only a phone call away if you need anything.

Shannon,
I was very saddened to read about your son's passing and wanted to offer you my condolences. Although I have not seen you in years and did not know Scotty, I have read the other guest book entries and it is clear that your son will be greatly missed by many people as he was well-liked and an inspiration to all who knew him. The fact that he faced adversity in a positive manner should be an inspiration to all. May you find some comfort in your wonderful memories of Scotty and in knowing how many people's lives he touched in a positive way. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm a member of the Groton Heights Baptist Church, and we have been praying for Scott for several months. While our prayers were not answered in the way we were hoping for, I thank God that Scott is no longer suffering. I pray your hearts will be comforted during this extremely difficult time.
"And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!"
