So sorry to hear of your loss. From Fairview days on, nothing but great memories of Scott. It was always fun running into Scott and catching up, sharing our latest stories of our adventures. Plenty of time had passed and the chatter was always as enthusiastic as ever.

When a young man is taken
It causes so much grief,
But Beth, Paige and Sydney
You must share the belief,
That Scott is still with you
He'll always be in your hearts
His spirit, warmth and smile won't be forgotten
Even as his body departs.
So many people loved him
Hope that helps you be less sad,
His service was a great tribute,
To the man, husband and dad.

We can't tell you how sorry we are for this terrible loss.
Love,
Sue and Paul
