Not sure what to say?

My father was the most honorable man that I've ever known. He made sure my sisters and I were taken care of in ways that should be an example to other parents. This man is someone who I can not find the mental capacity to move forward post his passing. The pain I carry from this tragedy has followed me in ways that are unexplainable. No words will describe the hurt in my heart....what's left of my heart at least. I've made many mistakes since his passing...many of you would agree. I've done nothing but search for the same love that my father showed me. Unfortunately some unrealistic endeavors are impossible...but the one thing that I will never forget is how much of an example he was to society. I'll never forget rides in his Chrysler with the Bush Cheyney sticker on the bumper and I made him listen to one of my eminem cds... which he called "the spaghetti song "....it may mean nothing to others but it defined my feeling of loss and missing the greatest man in the world. God bless STC. Forever in my heart

"For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. for whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus." Romans 6:5-11 and the New Testament Text read during the Great Vigil of Easter on Saturday evening.



What comfort may these sweet sentences give. Give glory to God for Scott and comfort/blessing to all.

Scott was a very kind and caring individual. He was always positive whether it was greeting parishoners at Mass with his family or when you spoke to him after he became ill.
