Bra, I know that it's been a while since we spoke, but I know I feel your presence around me. Its been hard! I know that GOD had a reason for taking you, but.....I miss you so much. I miss your smile, I still hear your laugh, but most of all I MISS YOU! I'm coping and living, but at time I just break down like now and life seems to move utterly slowly. I wish there was a phone so that I hear your voice daily in heaven. Mom is ok. JB…smh, is a mess. He's very smart like you. Him and MEME are very close but like us can get on each other's nerves as well. I almost forgot, I'm back in school trying to accomplish my dream of being a nurse. I also minor in business management so keep watching over us, I'm going to need all the support I can get from you while I'm in school. Mom is working and busy as ever. I know that she misses you we all do. I love you past the sun, moon and the stars! Always and forever Mrs. Scott!

Hello Brother. It's been a while since I last wrote you but, I feel you in my presence all the time. Things are not the same since you are gone. I can still remember you smiling, laughing and being a great father, husband and friend. There was no one like you. I miss you so much. I miss you being that father figure to me. I miss our talks. I miss you being there for me when I needed you and vise verse. You were my world. I know that you are my angel watching over me. Ta'miya misses you and I've explained to her that you are an angel now. So, how's heaven? You may have a new angel that just arrived may be a couple months ago. Micheal Jackson. Our music icons are leaving this earth at a fast pace and the world is so different now. I love you so much. Please watch over me and give me the strength when I feel that I have none left. TTYL Love "Toya"

I can't wait to see you again. Can to please tell my two angels that I love them and I miss them two

On this day my memory is of a Great young man who had so much to give and so little time to give, but I guess the time given was all the time needed.
Wow! it has been 3 years already, and I will always remember the time you had here with us.
Love and miss you so much.

Wow three years already, I can't believe it, it definitely doesn't seem like its been that long. Things been going ok for me and the girls lately. I finally got them in modeling and so far so good with that. They are so grown up and smart now. I don't even know what to say anymore, todays been hard for me yesterday was hard, I drove pass a motorcyle accident that had a death on the way to work so I was hysterical by the time I reached the bank. Im going to keep this short for now, working right now, but I'll get around to dropping a few more lines later. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

Hey man. I can't belive that it's about to be three years. People always say that time flyes, but since you been gone it has been going in slow motion. If only if you could see this world now. Gas is $4.00 a gallon and so is milk. Sometimes people debt on which one is more important. You have to have gas becuase you have to get to and form work daily to pay the bills and everyone needs vitamin D so that they can have strong bones. Crazy huh? Well, Tamiya and I have been fine. She's about to turn 5 years old on 6-4-08 and that just so happens to be the day that she graduates on also. She is so excited. I'm in the process of planning a birthday party and a graduation party all in one.
Granny has been sick and in and out the hospital with mini strokes. You know that I thought that granny was untouchable becuase she has been with us all our life. I remember when she use to stay off Almedia street and she had the short hair cut and long nails. Grandma was just a person that would never grow old in my eyes. Now she is getting older and things are harder now. She is still the same old Granny, but she a little slower that's all. I have not told her, but it is so hard to watch her need help to walk and complete other tasks that she is so use to doing daily on her own. They says that she just needs so time to recover and she will be fine. I hope so, becuase I miss her so much. It's hard to live so far way and not be able to see her. They just shipped her to Gainsville closer to mee so I plan to see her today. Lord's willing. Well, I just wantes to stop and say I love you and I know that you are keeping a close eye on two angels that I have up there. Tell them that I love them and will see them soon. I love you.

Hey mario It's me lil bro. I miss you so much right now. There is so much going on right now and I don't know what to do you would always be there to help me weigh out the situations but now I'm stuck. And All I really Need right now is one of your jokes to get me back on the right path. To have a lil joy in my life at this time cause I am so confused. Like when we used to sit in the apartment and you would make fun of dad and Boy Just Think like him. and then say naw. Just go with your first mind. God I miss you so much I just wish things were back to how they used to be it seemed so simple then now life is just so complicated. But I love you and I miss you Daily.

What's up man? I watched J.B last week weekend and man he a mess. The first night he was so frighted to not be sleeping in his own house he just cried. Kenya rocked him to sleep. She asked me if I had a rocking chair. Of course I don't. No babies here! LOL!!! The next day he played in the yard and had a blast and when we got in the car to show him off at my job ( 5 minutes away) he was sleep. I could not wake him for anything. We even walked the park 2 miles at the Ravins. It was great. I was so tired. Miya did not want to walk she was just trying to eat. Kenya was carrying her most of the way. She gald that was not just me and her she would have been walking. You know. 1,2, step!!! 1,2,, step!!!! So how is it up there? Tell God that I'm trying to concentrate on the positive and I know that I need to have more trust in him. tell him not to laugh at me. So man the same old same old has been happening down here. I miss the kids. I need to call them. I be so busy working I barly have time for myself not alone kids. Ok that sounds like an excuse. I will ensure that I call them soon and get them again, Love ya, talk to ya soon.

Good morning, Good evening, or Good afternoon sweetie,
I miss you man. Our brother is getting so big, and so is Shanelle (Tamiya medlock) She wants to called by her middle name now. I was just @ mom's house earlier and Grand ma and mom was telling back in the day stories about me riding my big wheel and you we pushing me. I stared crying to granny and asking her to tell you to stop and you replied, " man, she can let someone else ride it too". It's so strange how I remember that like it just happened yesterday. I remember we shared rooms for ever and a day and had bunk beds and you use to tell me that I was littoe to climb to the top. I remember that mom use to be outside on the porch with granny and you use to flip the couch upside down and climb through it. As scared as I was I climbed through it too so that I can be like you. LOL. Hey, you remember when I spilled noodles in your Natari. You made me wash dishes for a week so that you would not tell mom. I miss them days man. Only if we could bring back the hands of time. I posted a picture of Miya so that you can see how big she's getting. Like you can't see that already. lol

I feel you in my heart

You linger in my soul

Holding me hostage to memories of old

Thoughts of yesterday

Dreams of tomorrow

Still wallow in this hollow heart,

One part stuck with sarrow.

These visions of you

Still exist in the blue

Shaking my sincerity

That I barely have a clue

Creating suicidal tear drops

That skydive from my face,

Giving way to pre-mditated faith, and vanish without a trace

In silence blooms a bitter heart

Bound by gloom that consumes its bitter parts

No soul can shake this pain unknown

With pain this soul has grown,

Into a queen that sits behind her throne

So for that

Thoughts of yesterday forever I will own.

I wrote that poem a while back ago about how I feel/felt about not havin u in my life any more. Its been two years but it doesnt feel like it to me. We are all doing ok, i guess in these situations the only way to make it through is to have an optimistic outlook....the girls are getting big, they're very smart, and through it all i have become a much better and stronger woman. Thank you for all the great times we shared and all the things u tought me and continue to teach me. I love u baby.

And i want you to know you will always have a special place in my heart and i will never forget you.I wish i could of made it to your funeral but i was over seas in Iraq protecting our county.I hope to see you when i get there R.I.P, love ya, and my condolences goes to the family.

January 23, 2007

Hey Bro,
Sorry it took so long for me to write you, but I’ve tried to keep this book open and had the hardest time doing so. Never think that you have been forgotten!!! I miss you so much. I’m at work now and something told me to look at my old mail and I did and found this link and clicked on it and here I am. Man, I miss you so much. I still don’t believe that your gone and I still hear you laugh every now and then. I haven’t seen the kids in forever and man I miss them also. I know that I’ll have to get another car to go get them over the weekends because I’m barely getting to work and back and I work right across the street from my house. A crime shame, I know, but call me cheap!!! Miya is getting so big and she picks your picture up at time and ask who you are. My daughter missed the opportunity of a life time. She missed the chance to spend time and really get to know her uncle “Pooh”. She says your name a lot and I think that she vaguely remembers you, but I’m glad that she has some memories at least. I’m posting pictures for everyone to see. Also included is pictures of the new addition to our family. JB!! He a trip man.

Just wanted to drop a line and let you know I was thinking about you. I still miss you very much. Deja acts so much like you!!! She makes the same faces when she is mad. That forget you look, thats when you know just to leave her alone. Destiny is shaped like you. Thick all over. I'm so sad that you are gone but thank you for leaving me two beautiful nieces before you left us.

I miss you so much man. Some nights, I just cry relive the pain. Our kids remind me so much of us when we were little. I miss them days. Destiny, and Deja are getting so big that it is scary! Mom and Jackson had them all about two weeks ago and I took some pictures. I will be posting them soon. I know that it has been a while since the last time that I have wrote, but I know that you hear me talking to you right. Oh, and stop sneaking up on me! I know that you making sure that we fine, but you have to warn you sister before hand LOL. I have so much to tell you and it seems as thou I don’t have a enough time , but let me start. Well, lets start from the biggest shocker of them all. MOM PREGANT ! LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN. MOM IS PREGNANT.IT’S A BOY TOO! I knew that if you were hear you would have an off the wall comment for that, and I’m feeling you. Man it’s amazing! I can hear you laughing now. Man, it was crazy , I was just asking her in January if she got pregnant what she would do, and she just laughed at me. Now it’s a reality. She so happy. I know that she misses you. I want to be closer to the kids so Marcus and I have been talking about going to get them one weekend out of the month. Well, I have to work right now, but I will be writing soon. Promise! Hugs and kisses.



P.S. I have two special people there that I want you to watch over. Tell them that I love them and I miss them so much !!!!!

Good by my son.

April 29, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...

but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.



Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."



It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.

I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."



God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.



When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years

because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.



I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.



There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...

that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.



If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,

then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,

knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.



So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,

just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.



And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,

remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS. We finally got the kids to sleep so we can put all their gifts out. Boy was that a task. They were so excited they did not want to go to bed. They all have a lot of presents. The whole underneath of the little tree that momma sets out on the table is full and the gifts are all over the floor. We miss you very much. Deja wanted to buy you a present and did not really understand why Ashley was not getting you anything. It sure is quiet with out you here. We love you and miss you more than we could ever express on this guest book. Merry Christmas we will be thinking of you all day as usual!

The happy mom and dad with Deja Marie. If you could read all the captions on the pictures you would see Mario was such a proud man at that moment when Deja was born.

December 12, 2005

Hi Ashley. I am so glad I found this disk that Mario made for me of the pics when Deja was born. I will get you a copy. I have added some to the photo gallery for the people who might not have any recent pictures. He was such a proud father when Deja was born sp I added the "1st family picture". Love you!!

He knew he looked good.... love ya-Melissa

Mario boy do I miss you!!! I have not really been down there since you passed but for your funeral and 2 days in August. Me, Jabari, and the kids are going down for x-mas and I know it will be hard!! It will be the first time I am there for an extended period of time since you passed. For me it is a little easier because I am up here so I was not seeing you all the time anyway. But when I go down there it just does not feel right. It does not even look right to see my sister without you by her side. When I went for a couple days in August it was weird to be sitting in the room with Ash where you guys use to sleep prior to getting your own place. It was weird not to be going to your apartment. We had so much fun there every weekend!!!!!!! It is funny how 4 grown adults (with 3 bad kids running around) sittting in one little apartment every weekend could have so much fun. How could we pick on each others same imperfections day in and day out and still find them funny. Jabari's long toe "that looks like a thumb" was surely one that made us laugh everytime. Dont worry, he is still getting it from me and Ash but it is just not the same when you are not here. There is no one to ride on me. Bari and Ash try but no one knew how to push my buttons like you. I think for old time sake we might have to get a little grill and go sit on the balcony of your apartment one last time. We can grill some shrimp (I will make sure to over season them like you always did when you were cooking them tipsy), have us some of the nasty vodka you would drink and sit on the steps picking at each other like we always did. The neighbors might think we are crazy but most people around there probally already did. This is the 4th time I have written in your guest book. None of them seemed to have posted, hope this one does. I can tell you one thing, over this holiday I will do my best to keep your wife, my sister, as happy as she can be without you!!! We will remonise on the good times and I am sure shed many of tears but it will all be ended with the thanks that we have them memories and moments to think about and even cry over. I love you and miss you with all my heart.

Ashley I love you... we will have a wonderful christmas this year remembering all the great times that were shared with Mario. We are gonna laugh, we are gonna cry but in the end we will feel joy for being able to have them memories. I love you and my beautiful nieces and I will see you soon. I will be there for you to get through this holiday.

November 27, 2005

It's hard to believe it's been six months already I still wake up in the morning looking for that phone call or that text this holiday has been a hard on cause I'm used to being where you are going to everybody house eating grubing out you smiling with the mac n cheese in you grill your every week brownies even if we didn't do nothing we still had fun just sitting round clowing everybody I miss you so much and that Deja is you All DAY attitude and all when I get down I talk to her and I can see you from when we were small and all the sadness goes away

I love you and I am always thinking about you

Wow! What a hard holiday this one has been. This is the very first one that we as your family has had to experience without you. But having you there, because I know you were. because I felt your presence, It brought such a sence of peace. watching you smile through your kids made my heart melt. I think that we all are able to except that this was not your will, but that of our heavenly father. We are standing in the comfort of each other. But you will NEVER be forgotten, Come by and visit anytime your always welcome....:)

Happy Hoildays Pooh

Love you always and forever

Hello Brother. I know about everyone has wrote in this book but me. I just still can't believe that your gone. One day we were moms eating, and hanging out and the next day your were gone. It's still so hard for me to belive. I sit at night an cry alone to myself because I lost more then a brother. I lost a friend , a father figure and a someone that I looked up to in more ways then one. Everyone is dealing with this is thier own way but, I get still don't belive it. Not my brother. It's been hard without you, and hearing you smile and calling me to say "what's up girl". Now I fell alll alone here. No one to turn to. I know everyone is going to see this and think that it's no true but, they had to understand the bond that we had, You know, just me and you. I love you and, I know you will always be near. Just help me keep peace of mind, and realize that your always hear. "toya scott". I love you big brother.

Hey! I find myself more and more listening to the amazement of having, a personal Angel quite often these days. Your little cousin Alyse, has risen to profound heights following your trip home. We found a Angel that somewhat looks like you, and Alyse has become quite Attached to it. Yesterday being show and tell day at school, and of the many things that she had to choose from she wanted to take the Angel "Pooh" to school. I must admit that I was tring to sway her to take something that would be fun to others, but then had to take a step back and understand that from the youngest to the oldest lives have been changed forever. there will forever be a VOID in many hearts. and after speaking with her teacher, She wanted to give the other kids a visual of loss and gain. She lost her cousin but gained him as her Angel. I'm so proud to have you as my Nephew, I Love you and miss you.

Love you Always,

Your Auntie Wonza

It's been two month and a couple of days I always thought it was supposed to get easy but the pain is still there the hurt and sorrow is still there I'm gonna always miss you. That's never gonna change I look at the calender and think of all the things you miss so far Deja's birthday and destinys' first teeth I feel so sorry to Ashley that you missed it I was listening to deja's song to day and thought of how we would laugh at her when she would sing oh oh oh. Grandma Martha died a week after you and one of the last things she talked about was that guitar she helped you make in school and the one we found for her she got some strings and finaly played it. Everybody Loved you from A-Z that's why you are so missed. I spoke to you that saturday if only I knew that would be the last time I would speak to you...

Dear Mario,



HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!!!! Its suppose to be happy anyway, but its hard to be happy when I have to spend it without you. Today is our one year wedding anniversary, a day I thought we would both be here to share, but I didnt need an anniversary to know that you loved me cause you showed me how much you cared everyday. I know if you were here you would have made today extra special, each day with you was special, but you really went all out on the holidays and special days. I love you baby and always will.



Love Forever and Always,

Your Wife

To the family,

I hate to see a great person leave so early. You always think to yourself he was so young. But my mother always told me the good ones go first. Pooh was a good person always had a joke when someone was mad to cheer you up. I thank Pooh for the help he has given me & my family he made his cousin see things different always there to help his cousin when in need Pooh ment so much to Britney. When our car broke down the only person came out in the middle of the night to look at our car was Pooh. Its hard to find a person that people always have good things to say about them all the time. He was put on the earth to serve for God like one of God's angels and his work was done. I feel special to have been touched by that angel..To the family may God be with you...Ashley you have a good family behind you to help if you ever need it God made sure of that. Pooh will make sure his family looks after you...Take care of yourself and your cute lil girls. I had to sign for my dogg Pooh and his family. RIP

July 15, 2005

Hey Pooh! This is Desi. I apologize for being so late signing you book, but you have to forgive me. Though we weren't related by blood, I still cared about you and your family. It wasn't hard also considering you guys lived like 10 footsteps away from me and Cecil. I'm so glad that you and Cecil had begun to spend time together because believe it or not, you showed your brother another way to "be a man" and a responsible one at that. You may not have known, but your were fullfilling your "big-brotherly duties" and didn't even realize it. I still thank you for that to this day. I pray for your family's strength, and your wife's wisdom so that she will continue to have the ability to raise those girls up to be smart, intelligent women of God. And you tell that girl that God has never left her, not even for a moment. We love and miss you dearly, and we all await the day that we too can join you in paradise. Please give God a hug for me. Since I was younger, I've always phathomed that the very best hug in the world can come from no one but Him. Your brother loves and misses you, and I believe he's going to wear that shirt till all of the color's off. We miss you, and that big behind laugh of yours. (P.S. Isn't it funny and cute how Lay-Lay yells "unka Pooh! daddy das unka Pooh on your shirt!")

Here is a saying Dawain faxed to me one day in the year 2000.

Dear God

So far today, I've done all right

I haven't gossiped, lost my temper,

been greedy or grumpy, been nasty.

selfish or overindulgent..

I am very thankful for that.

But, in a few minutes, God

I"m going to get out of bed.

And from then on, I"m probably

going to need a lot more help.

Love Dawain

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you, and you will always remain in my heart. I will continue to pray for your wife and your two lovely daughters that if possible they may find peace.

Love Always, Joanna

Wonza Jones-Austin

June 24, 2005

Well, this has been a long hard month for me. tring to move forward has not been easy at all, thinking of all the reason for everday to be normal just makes it seem strange. Not a day goes by that I don't look at your picture and wisper I love you, or I miss you little boy. Pooh, there will forever be a void missing in my heart that you filled, I just always figured that my little nephew would always be around. I never thought that I would be here and you would be gone. But as I have said and will always, God had a reason for this happending and I will not let your passing be in vain. I intend to get the message that is to come out of this. Ashley, Stay strong and never forget that you will always always be apart of our family. You made my nephew life complete, Thanks for two beautiful gems so we can touch him again. He truly touched lives, and that is the impact that we all should want to have on the world. You will never die as long as I live. I love you and miss you.

dear mario, ive been doing alot of thinking this month, and i think everyone could learn something from you. that life is short and you should live every moment to the fullest like you did. i think you were wise at such a young age to realize this and i want to thank-you for opening up my eyes. i want to thank-you for this gift and the many other gifts you gave to people.

marioi am at a loss for words. all i can say is that we[dad and myself] will never let ashley rae or the girls be alone as long as they want someone around.we will make sure the girls will always know who you are.we will talk to them about you all the time so they will know just what a good father and husband you were.anyone who knew you knows how much you loved all three of them.dad and myself miss you so much.i know that we didnt always see eye to eye but i always knew that we could say what we needed to say and move on. that is one of the few things that we loved about you say what you have to say and have done with it.i know that me-too misses you you were the one that never let her have the last word. between the two of you i dont know witch one of you was worst you both had to have the last word. well guess what this time i am going to have the last word[sorry] well i better go for now befor people think i am trying to write a book. love you much your mother in law.

Ashley Scott

June 22, 2005

Dear Mario,

It's hard to believe that you have already been gone for a whole month now, I never thought I could live one day without you I never thought I was that strong, you told me everyday that I was the strongest woman you knew but I never believed it until recently. I've been strong for our girls, if not for them I dont think I wouldve been able to go this long without you. If I wouldve known that when I spoke to you sunday morning that it would be the last time I would ever speak to you I wouldve made sure to tell you good-bye and how much I loved you one last time. Its ok though, cause whether I said it or not you and everyone else knew how much I loved you and how much you loved me and the girls. Nothing has been easy since you left, but I know oneday things will be alright cause I've been told plenty of times that things get better in time; I sure hope all those people are right. Soon this guest book will be gone and when it is my love for you will still remain and me and the babies will still talk to you everyday, alot of people have already moved on and oneday we will too only because we know you'll be with us every step of the way, your body is gone from our sight but your soul will always be right here in our hearts. One day we will be together again, but until then baby save us a place and never stop watching over us.

Love always,

Ashley, Deja, and Destiny

To all that sign this guestbook:



When you sign this feel free to say anything you want to say, even if you think it might be something stupid or embarrassing. If you dont want to share your thoughts and feelings you can just share one of your stories about Mario, cause we all have a million of those. I also ask that if you do write something PLEASE put your name as well(I'll greatly appreciate it if you do), I am going to print the guestbook off on the last day and I want to save it for his daughters to read one day so that they will know what kind of man their father was and so they can see what everyone truely thought of him, so I would love for me and them to be able to put names and faces with the comments. Life without him still hasn't gotten any easier and might not ever, but he will never be forgotten or replaced. I'm always going to love you and miss you with all my heart Mario, you'll always be my one and all.

LOVE ALWAYS,

To My Beloved Mario,

I know its been along time and I'll probably be the last one to sign this, but I haven't known what to say and still don't have a clue as I'm typing this. I know this is probably the one enty everyone has been waiting to see, the one from your wife. I have alot I need/want to say, some of it might upset some people but right now I have to express myself and make myself happy cuz I can't please everyone. I'm going to try to raise our girls the way I knew you were going to; I remember all your hopes, dreams, and plans for us so I'm going to try my hardest to fulfill all of them and keep you proud of us. We had so much going for us, all of our dreams were coming true but then god so selfishly took you away from us. There is no way in heaven or earth that god needed you more than me, Deja, and Destiny need you. We were so good to each other and for each other, god made no better match than us baby. You use to love to tell me "Do you know why they named me Dawain? Well it's because I'm "Da-one", baby you were right, you were "the-one" and there will never be another like you. You always did any and everything for us but now I have to try to do any and everything on my own. For the rest of my life I'm going to try to fill the void that you left in our lives and in our hearts, but it will never be fully filled cuz there will never be another Dawain Mario Scott. You were my "Super Mario" you were always so strong, you were invinceable, or atleast we all thought you were including yourself. I would give up everything just to have you back cuz without you I truelly have nothing. I know you miss and love us as much as we miss and love you. You and your memories will always hold a special irreplaceable spot in our hearts. Everything you ever done for me or given me from the smallest token of your love and appreciation to your largest I have always held dear and always will forever. You are missing out on great kids and a great wife, but even more we are missing out on an even greater man. You were always the best husband, father, friend, brother, well you were the best at everything you ever were and everything you ever did, and you always will be the best ever. I love and miss you much more than words can say and much more than actions can ever express, you are my everything and always will be!



Loving you forever -n- always your wife, Ashley Rae Scott

To the family,

I wish that I could find the words to tell you how truly sorry I am. I didn't get much time to spend with Mario having been in the Marine Corps the past 4 years 8 months, but the time I did get to spend with him was one that I wouldn't trade for the world. When I left for Japan Mario told me he would have another bike before I got home so that I wouldn't be riding alone. I wish now that he hadn't got it. And even though I had nothing to do with the accident, I can't help but to feel like it is my fault. He my be gone but he will never be forgotten. Again words can not express how sorry I am. I love you all and will see you soon.



Love, Mark

I know you had so many more plans for your family, many bigger things but thanks to all your hard work they will make it. I know Ashley is not going to let you down. She is going to be the strong women you wanted her to be. You worked so hard to make sure she will be ok when this day came, and with time she will be. Thank you for the 2 beautiful nieces you gave me. I will miss you. It will not be the same without you!

Your thoughtfulness for others, inspite of yourself was evident at all times. You were truly and example for all to marvel at. Great husband, father, son, nephew and grandson to your love ones. We will certainly miss you on this side of heaven, but we will meet again. You are now in a better place, and I am sure of this. Keep smiling down upon your family.

I will always remember your smile. I am deeply sadden that I won't be able to laugh and joke with you as we always did. Save a place for me. I know your in a better place because it was God that called you to come be with him. RIP Dawain Mario Scott.
