Just keep losing family. My prayers go out to the family of Virgil even though I have not seen Virgil since we were children.

We were terribly saddened to hear of Scott's passing. After many vacations together in Cancun, we felt like part of his extended and wonderful family. Our thoughts are with Gary at this time.

There are no words that can convey the sadness I feel, yet when I think of Scotty, I can only smile. He had such a special way of bringing people together. My love goes out to Gary and the rest of Scott (Virgil's) family.
