I am so sorry to hear of Scott's passing, but at peace knowing He belongs to the King of Kings! That he is well and can dance in the joy of the Lord. I enjoyed Scott, during his visits at the urgent care. He always brightened my day. I last saw Scott just before he went to his daughter's wedding. He was so proud and excited! I pray that the wedding was a beautiful time for Scott and all of you, his family and friends. My prayers are with you Vicki, and family. I will miss you, Scott.
My heart to yours-

I am sorry to hear about Scott's passing. I too went to High School & Graduated with Scott. I had kept track of him thru fellow Classmates and was delighted to hear of his faithful walk with our Lord. Even tho he is not here, I rejoice for him that he is safe in the Savior's arms where we all long to be. My prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time.

I went to high school with Scott, but it has been in the last few years that I felt I really got to know him. I was inspired by his faith and walk with our Savior. I am so sorry to hear of his death, yet I rejoice that he is with our Savior. I long for that reunion myself. You will be in my prayers. Lois Kester

Yes Dearest Scott, You will be told "Well done good and faithful servant". My prayers and sympathy to your family. As a child hood friend and school mate I've always held you dear at heart. There is nothing so lasting as friendship that carried us through many long bus rides and school days . Time and distance has never lessened that. You leave your family and all you touched a legacy and example of faith and courage few can ever hope to achieve. You my dear have been and are a warrior in every sense of the word. After your done greeting the Lord, family and friends I hope you'll meet up with my Patrick. You both have that smile and spirit of joy that could also signal mischief. You have been a comfort to so many of us in times of trial. My sympathy and prayers to Vicki and all your family. My admiration and thanks to all of them for the love they shared with you all these years. I well know how incredibly proud you were of each and everyone of them. I pray the Lord will strengthen them in this time of loss and sorrow. Sincerely, Cheryl Lee Patrick, Ladysmith Wisconsin
